The sorting buttons at the top of a category's post list include "Activity", "Age", and "Score", which are all orders into which to sort the posts. However, for sites with imported content they als...
The sorting buttons at the top of a category's post list have title text which appears on hovering with a mouse, but this is not available on mobile devices. "Activity", "Age", and "Score" are r...
You have a slight misunderstanding here, I'm afraid. Companies like Lloyds Bank and British Airways are both part of highly regulated industries (banking and aviation). Those industries have their ...
Comments You are only able to tag users that have interacted with the thread, and the author of the post itself. After typing @ plus the first 3 letters of the username, a popup should appear wher...
User names don't have to be unique (and platforms that require uniqueness tend to frustrate people who end up being Mike792 or whatever), so we need the numbers. Given that we need to include the ...
Various places in Codidact where a user enters text seem to have a minimum character requirement. If you enter fewer characters than that, the system keeps the "submit post" button greyed out, pop...
For the reasons you already alluded to, rendering -- as em-dash by default is dangerous, see discussions on a Similarly Engineered site. This is particularly true in question titles since they don'...
I'm reviewing a number of Q&A platforms for use by our internal Software Engineering community. Our implementation of a Q&A platform would ideally be hosted internally or on a private accou...
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...
The first animated avatar someone has used here (https://cooking.codidact.com/posts/288814) points out that we don't have any rules addressing them. Let's not allow this. This falls into the same...
I'm not sure if this is actually an answer or not, but as suggested in a comment thread, I'll put it out there and see what happens. My understanding is that Fediverse / ActivityPub support doesn'...
During the transition from having a Site Proposals category on Meta to having a separate Codidact Proposals community, there is a message at the top of the Site Proposals category with a link to th...
Nowadays, Codidact has a Discord server. Discord supports forum-like channels. Codidact look that needs to increment the daily activity (more daily new questions and answers). Stack Overflow ...
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...
I like the idea of adding a way to "co-sign" a comment -- the "me too" part of this proposal. I don't think we should also add "disagree" using that mechanism, though. Disagreement should be expl...
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...
If this feature (i.e. notifying user in Q&A body content by "@Username") is NOT implemented, then (IMHO) it should not be allowed at all to write @Username because: If the user pointed to by @...
In the Q&A category of Meta a tag search for "proposal" shows 4 results, but a tag search for "proposal " (with a trailing space, as is commonly automatically inserted when typing on mobile) sh...
In the Descriptions category of the Codidact Proposals community, anyone can edit any proposal description. This is in contrast to other categories where suggested edits require approval before bei...
Related: Tracking progress towards the Edit ability The Activity tab of my user profile, filtered to Edits shows 20 helpful suggested edits, and 1 declined. The Edit Posts Ability page sho...
Every user already has an associated unique number (it's in your profile URL). The easiest way to distinguish user names for deleted users would be to use that number. This is what SE does. A co...
Motivation On Stack Exchange (SE) I could have a really hard time following a discussion in comments between multiple users if one of the users deleted their account or changed their username. He...
Codidact is small, as is our team. Our development team is even smaller. That means that time, especially dev time, is a very precious resource that we have little of. Something like this requires ...
EDIT after follow-up comments thread (where links for tags tab and status are given) and answer: The solution proposed here already exists so it is irrelevant. The pro/cons part could still be used...
Different comment categories I propose (arbitrarily) to define different categories of comments (but it is just a first draft proposal which must be discussed ;), the categories written in parenth...
