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 How can I conveniently opt out of Codidact analytics?

It's not exactly an opt-out, but since you already have Privacy Badger installed, you can use it to block the requests. To do that, simply open the Privacy Badger drop-down, and pull the slider for...

Q&A Hot Posts link to Blog leads to 404

Looks like we were assuming everything in the hot posts list was a question. I've changed it to use a post-type-aware helper now; this should be fixed, pending deploy.

Q&A Why isn't the text editor in the same font as what posts are?

Nothing earth-shattering, really, just what made sense to me. Markdown is technically a markup language, which feels more correct to me in a monospace font. (Plus I also find monospace easier to re...
