When new posts are submitted to a category, a small circle is displayed next to the category's name, within its tab in the category bar. This activity indicator is displayed even when the only new...
Have a look at this Codidact Meta post. It is closed. Scrolling down we can see a UI like so: When there are 0 answers, then the option to sort them by score/activity doesn't have any use. Als...
Thanks for spotting this. I've just checked and the typo is also present in the database seed that is used for setting up new communities, so it needs to be fixed there too to avoid this happening ...
When looking at the Abilities dashboard of another user and clicking on any ability, for example the curate ability page of a mod looks like (I replaced the actual mod name with (ModName) for sake ...
This is an example of a comment thread featuring a user mention. When the comment is edited, the user mention element incorrectly turns red. A reload fixes this. Hovering on it shows which...
On the Help Center page "How to ask a great question" (This link points to the Codidact Meta version, but this question talks about all the versions of this page in all other communities, too) Und...
What web development tools were used to build this site? What tools are used to manage it?
Codidact uses the open source Qpixel, which is also maintained by CD admins. Sometimes it is mentioned in passing that the devs are open to and interested in help with developing this codebase. I'...
Here on Meta, if I edit my preferences to set a favorite tag, the tag is highlighted in yellow like this: However, on Proposals, it's not working. Here's the setting (I picked a tag at random t...
I would like to be able to set a filter on tags with "OR" logic. My goal is to quickly filter to all the tags I may have knowledge to answer. But since the tags use "AND" logic, if I put in all the...
On the user profile page there are some posts showing, with a link to “See all”. After clicking See all, the total number of posts is shown at the top. Would it be useful to have a nu...
The “Copy Link” button below each post has been changed so that it now has a pop up offering either a raw link or a Markdown link: This always appears just below the button, even when the le...
I am not able to reproduce this. I visited the "create post" page with NoScript turned on and this is what I see: Can you say more about where you saw codidact.org?
It's been a long time since this question was asked, and in the meantime there have been lots of changes to the platform. It turns out we can do most of what you're asking for now, although some k...
Try to create a new comment thread under a post by adding a title but no comment. The “Create thread” button is active, but clicking on it does not work because a comment is required. On desktop a ...
Unfortunately, such a page does not yet exist. However, there are two alternative methods of finding new top-level posts across all sites: The Codidact Community Chat lets you monitor a set o...
As a workaround, click "Q&A" in the title bar to go back to that category, then the "Ask Question" button will appear in the usual spot. It's one extra click, but hopefully fairly intuitive.
I believe that this is actually intentional and not a bug, because these pages serve different purposes. The /abilities page shows the abilities you can earn through your usage of the community. T...
When a user is mentioned in a comment thread using @, internally the user is referred to by their user id number. The comment is displayed using their user name, but the user id behind the scenes m...
If you edit a ping into a comment and that user is not already following the thread, we now send a notification. We don't want to send multiple notifications and we can't easily withdraw the alrea...
Now that we have filters, we should remove the native button and add a toggle for native (non-imported) posts to the filter options. As you point out, "native" is not, logically speaking, a sort b...
I was in the middle of drafting a very similar Meta question when I noticed this one had just been posted. I will instead post my thoughts here as an answer, to prompt further discussion. I see the...
You can find all the flags you've raised, their text, current status, and moderator response. Click on your profile in the top right corner. Then in the lower right of that you'll see "Flags rais...
View counts are a measure of the importance of a post to the site. A question that's viewed a lot should be prioritized by curators, because it's likely to be viewed proportionately often in the fu...
Describe the bug After deleting an answer(s), the table of contents can still be displayed even if there are less answers than the "number of answers to trigger the TOC" and even if there is no an...
