I just signed up and wanted to take the tour, but it kind of aborts abruptly when explaining "upvoting" the first answer. After two retries I realized this is because I did not click on the actual...
GitHub issue: https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/1218 When looking at a tag's wiki page on Codidact as a normal user with only the two basic abilities, there is no extended information su...
Tag synonyms are listed in green on both the main tags list and the tag page under the primary tag name. For instance, this is the spreadsheet-formula tag on Software Development:
Tag wiki pages are currently a bit unclear on a few things. If you possess good knowledge of how that page is built, it's pretty clear to you that if it doesn't list something, it means it doesn't ...
The way the site does the percentage, like most things on this site, is based on Wilson scoring, which uses fake data points to bias scores towards the center. The site is currently configured to a...
I've been thinking about abilities again lately (and for a while), because they're too hard to earn but just tweaking the Wilson numbers won't fix it. The fundamental problem is that a single nega...
In the Abilities page for the Moderator ability, it says: Moderators also have access to special moderator-specific help pages. Since only moderators have access to these, the link goes to a ...
What does Codidact consider a duplicate question? What practical consequences does that have?
To add to Mithical's excellent answer: I'm sorry you've had a bad experience with your first incubator question. Our vision hasn't changed; that statement lays out our goals. That isn't the same...
Because the Posts by user page is separate from the profile, there's currently no benefit for it to exist at the moment. Redirect to a search page prefilled with "user:xxx" instead. Had the full ...
There is no one, over-arching rule across the network. Communities are self-governing (within the limits of what we can host). I agree with this answer. Personally, I think duplicates should be ...
You seem to be interpreting the incubator as the home for all questions that don't fit anywhere else, and also as a primary entry point for people new to Codidact. That's not the goal. The incuba...
We want to add a network profile. Our initial thinking is around giving you a list of your communities and an overview of your activity there. After we do that, it would be possible to extend it ...
Reopening takes a while, usually a few days.... If our goal is to make it as easy as possible for experts to share knowledge, this goes against that goal. ...a lot of these questions are not that...
I just had to go into my account preferences and turn autosave off again because it somehow had been reset to on. I know that I went through all Codidact communities a while back (maybe a month or...
When starting a new comment thread, the "Create thread" button is disabled until the content of the "Your comment" text box has at least 15 characters. This character count includes leading and tra...
Can you please add a flag reason for "AI/LLM content"? I occasionally see people try to make some posts where they clearly just plug the question into ChatGPT and copy/pasted the response into the...
When I read through https://codidact.org/ I get the impression that the focus is on helping people get their questions answered. There are obviously other benefits, like providing a platform for pe...
Update: the 500 error is now fixed; if you pull the Qpixel develop branch you'll pick this up. See below for a workaround in the meantime. (The seeding problem that caused the 500 error isn't fix...
I made some questions and/or answers which I later learned were apparently preposterous and were downvoted, so I deleted them. As their author, I should be able to view them so long as I have a dir...
I've just tested a small change that would always show your deleted posts on your own profile. Other users (without sufficient privileges) can't see them, as now. Should we always show you your d...
We have added a new flag type for all post types: Generated by AI: This post appears to contain AI-generated content (such as ChatGPT) without attribution This places the focus on the attribu...
Let's not. The community order makes little sense as it is now (based on creation date?), but at least it is fixed. It's arbitrary, but you get used to where things are. It would be even worse i...
When an HTML tag is used in a post but is not supported by Codidact, a warning message is displayed listing the unsupported tags. However, syntax highlighting hints in the form of HTML comments suc...
I use Noscript, so Javascript is blocked by default for new domains for me. As it happens, prior to today I had codidact.com (and jsdelivr.org) whitelisted, but not codidact.org. When I was writin...
