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 Why are comments hidden by default?

Why are comments deprecated to the point that none are visible without having to move away from the page? With page loads and mouse clicks, less is MORE.

Q&A Should the post title come before the body?

I think the title should come first, just because that's the way every other similar software does it (and because it is confusing having the entry order not match the display order). I really like...

Q&A Network-wide sign in created accounts for me on all sites even though I had no accounts there beforehand

It's not the network sign-in that's created accounts for you - it's visiting the sites. When you visit a site and are signed in elsewhere, an profile is created for you on that site. So, with netwo...

Q&A How should we approach a programming site or sites?

Q&A Why can users get negative reputation?

My guess: Because they used a signed integer type for rep, therefore it's not capped at 0. (And hypothesizing that because of lazyness and simplicity rep substraction performs just a substraction i...

Q&A Should we start displaying the score of a post instead of the raw votes?

All the proposals so far are missing what people really want to know, which are two orthogonal metrics: How good/bad the crowd thinks the answer is. How heavily the crowd has weighed in. The first...
