We've added some better guidance in the UI, including the score ranges (0-1) and a link to the scoring help. The layout isn't as nice as it would be if the work had been done by someone with a dee...
We have removed the "needs author's attention" flag, which I believe addresses the remaining issues raised here. Marking status-complete; please let us know if we missed anything.
When I click flag there is a menu that shows up showing the reasons, like spam, rude, needs author's attention, etc. But how can I close the menu without refreshing the page? I do not see an 'X' wi...
With many different Codidact communities and more being proposed, along with other organisations that have their own instances of the QPixel software, it seems unlikely that any single one of these...
Expected behaviour for different users My expectation is the same as in the question when a user is unable to see deleted posts. Sometimes a user can see a deleted post (such as when the user is ...
Maybe when our communities are much larger I share the others' concerns about getting fresh eyes on edits to avoid abuse (or even just errors that would motivate a re-edit). As things stand, I thi...
Discourse forum software has a neat feature whereby the post preview appears beside the input field. The post submission form pops up as an overlay to the main view of the current thread, showing t...
While ArtOfCode's answer explains that this is unlikely to be fixed in the near future, there is a workaround. If you decide that you need a character such as φ in the brief usage guidance that sho...
Related: A vote in the meta category for the EE site reflected in my reputation. Is that a bug? Suppose I participate in Meta and Q&A Software Codidact, and a Meta answer of mine is downvote...
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...
Users with the Edit Tags ability now can create tags directly using the "New" button on the Tags page: The Edit Tags ability cannot currently be earned naturally through the abilities system bec...
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 ...
This appears to be fixed. I just tried making an empty edit to this question and received an error message:
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...
