The first tab on the user page, "Profile", has the username above the row of tabs: All of the other tabs on the user page have the title below the row of tabs: This means that when sw...
Testing different approaches When considering what approach to take to awarding abilities, or what specific values to use for the thresholds, it might be worth drafting database queries for each a...
Markdown does not appear to be processed in the reason given for closing a question. For example, there is a Markdown link in the following close reason, but it is rendered as plain text rather tha...
I would like to address close messages on Q&A, especially on Codidact and even more special to the community-to-be of Worldbuilding. I approach this from a psychological point of view from a n...
In an answer on Software Development there is a layout inconsistency in the metadata below the answer. Usually the user card is to the right of the date posted, licence, and date edited. However, i...
I don't use the chat associated with Codidact for three reasons: It's a waste of time. If there is something to talk about that would be content in one of the Q&A sites, then that's where it ...
If a moderator deletes an answer, and the author of the answer tries to restore it, a notice is added to the top of the page saying "You cannot restore this post deleted by a moderator", but the UR...
When a user deletes a question they posted, it shows with a notice which includes the following wording: The author of this post decided to delete it. It can only be seen by users with the Curat...
A user's profile page shows their top 15 posts, with a button to see all. This page showing all of a user's posts is just like the questions list or search results, with pagination if there are too...
Does Codidact allow users to post questions and then immediately answer them?
If we let authors close their own questions, it should only be allowed if there are no answers. I wouldn't want to spend time on an answer to have it stuck in a closed question because the OP is p...
I like this idea, but I wonder if it should be optional. For the link to search results that you mention, that sounds sufficiently unobtrusive that perhaps it wouldn't need to be optional. I think...
I rejected several of the edits as post author, not as a moderator. Edits to the content were trivial at best, usually none. One suggested edit made the title longer without adding any meaning, t...
An alternative would be to remove the list altogether. There is already an "Other communities" link in the footer that links to the full list on codidact.com and the communities in the list are als...
What? Typo in a Help Center page "Guidelines for referencing and quoting" Where? In the first paragraph (the erroneous part has been bolded for the sake of this post): When you're writing a p...
This Help page lists some site policies. What governance system is in place to come to decisions about what the site policies are? This picture displays an organisation structure. It does not...
This site: https://proposals.codidact.com/ is not listed here: https://codidact.com/ and I think it should be.
I want moderators to be able to grant or suspend abilities at fairly granular levels, because sometimes that person who's answered a ton of questions well also has a tendency to make noisy edits or...
If I understand correctly, you'd like to have some sort of "summary table" covering all the answers for a question that has a lot of them. While this can't be manually curated (but wait, see below...
Motivation I often want to use a table to: Compare different solutions (for example, solutions addressing a new feature-request). List related posts and duplicates (some topics can be extremel...
When adding or removing an upvote or downvote, the user interface is updated without reloading the page. This changes the upvote and downvote buttons to be the appropriate colour based on whether t...
I noticed this in a post on Code Golf Codidact where MathJax is enabled. The raw text of the post can be seen by pressing "Edit" or "Suggest edit" below the post: When viewing the edit history,...
Misdiagnosed problem I was wrong about this. It turns out your personal filters are already saved across devices, but there is a problem stopping them from showing up. Workaround Adding a new fi...
Software is an insanely broad term. I.E. the approach to software could be done from several perspectives: Research & Academic (state of the art) Education Education system Educator (ed...
When posting an answer to this question, I experienced a strange glitch in the submission process. The text entry view remained open after submission, and was still showing the draft. This misled ...
