Welcome to Codidact Meta!

Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.

Search

Advanced Search Options

To further refine your search, you can use additional qualifiers such as score:>0.5. For example, the search score:>=0.5 created:<1y grammar would return only posts mentioning "grammar" that have a score >= 0.5 and were created less than a year ago. Use category:<ID> to restrict your search to one category (the ID is what's shown after /categories/ in the URL).

Further help with searching is available in the help center.

Quick hints: tag:tagname, user:xxx, "exact phrase", post_type:xxx, created:<N{d,w,mo,y}, score:>=0.5

Q&A Trying to edit an answer results in internal server error; edit gets recorded, but not promoted to current revision

This is most likely something to do with a data import that's running right at the moment and taking up a lot of database time. Ideally we'd be able to switch the sites into read-only mode, but we ...

Q&A Can we have second-factor sign-in authentication via e-mailed one-time codes?

Please make sure that such a feature is optional, and not the default when you create your account. Personally I find such extra security a pain in the butt and annoying. This isn't Fort Knox or ...

Q&A Category RSS feeds should feature a post when an answer is posted

Should be completed with the next deploy - the entry's updated value will now reflect the post's last activity, including any new answers, and the feed should be ordered by activity.

Q&A Can we have second-factor sign-in authentication via e-mailed one-time codes?

This should be completed with the next deploy. To make it easy, we just email you a link to sign in - same functionality, but easier to use.

Q&A How should Codidact "advertise" and gain community members?

A related question is whether advertising Codidact as a whole even makes sense, or if we should focus on advertising certain sites to their relevant communities. The latter is likely more effective...

Q&A Do SE users have the right to have their SE posts removed from Codidact? If so, how?

Q&A Don't show the option to create a tag unless no existing tags match the search.

I'm not sure this, as suggested, would be a good idea. I fully understand what you're getting at, but I think it would have undesirable, and also likely unintended, consequences. This is a slight...

Q&A Links go to writing.codidact.com instead of "self"

The Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Code of Conduct links on meta, outdoors and photo are all pointing to the pages on writing.codidact.com. They should always point to "self".

Another thing I've noticed on https://outdoors.codidact.com/categories/19 : the question list currently shows the last activity on "2020 - May - Birds" as "last activity 10 days ago by Isaac Moses"...

Q&A Posts should have a visible indication whether they've been edited, and when the last edit was made

Currently, each post is visibly tagged with a timestamp that indicates when it was posted, as well as by whom. Also, of course, posts can be edited; both by the original poster, and by other users....

Q&A How should Codidact "advertise" and gain community members?
