When viewing the Suggested Edits page, there is a notice for users that have not yet earned the Edit Posts ability: You can't approve or reject suggested edits because you haven't yet earned the...
One option is to style the tabs as tabs rather than buttons, similar to the row above which shows the category tabs. The "Ask Question" button can then remain a button: I prefer this to the curr...
There is a Posts page showing all the posts by a given user. At the top it has sorting buttons: The sorting buttons at the top of the questions list on the front page has more sorting buttons: ...
In search results the title is shown followed by a preview of the post, consisting of the first few lines. I would find it more useful to see the section of the post that contains the search term,...
There'll be more of an announcement coming, but here are some quick notes in the meantime. The top of each category now has a new widget: If you expand it you'll see some filtering options: ...
As a user's reputation increases, it takes up more horizontal space on the header bar of each page. On desktop there is plenty of empty space so this makes little difference. However, on a phone sc...
The filters widget is now collapsed on the search-results page, like it is for categories. This restores the status quo for small viewports, but I've just noticed while verifying this fix that the...
When signing in with two-factor authentication enabled, a code is requested on the next page after entering email and password: The "Code" field is not active (does not contain the text cursor) ...
Related: Confusing percentage on Edit Posts Ability page Currently, the best place I can find to track my progress towards the Edit ability (30 approved suggested edits with at least 95% ap...
I think we should match "interaction type". The person clicking on a thread title expects an in-page expansion, not a new page, so I think an in-page notification about the deletion is better than...
When clicking on the thread title ("Welcome!" in this example) of a comment thread below a post: I see the following error in the Firefox developer window (click image for a larger version): ...
What should be the behaviour when a user posts a reply to a comment in a thread on a post, and then deletes the post? For example, the post may be a question which requires editing before it will b...
In the Suggested Edits list page, the time suggested shows as a duration since suggested, such as "2 days ago", but hovering the mouse cursor over it displays the exact datetime: However, in the...
Go ahead and flag the whole comment thread as no longer needed. I'm a moderator on EE, and wouldn't mind receiving such a flag. Maybe some day when site activity gets much higher that might be an...
The exchange that provoked this question, happened on one of my answers. I wrote the response to you, to acknowledge your helpful comment, and to notify you that you were indeed right. In addition...
This is a good suggestion, and I thought "oh, just adding another button there -- that might be easy enough that even I can do it!". And then I realized there's something else we ought to address ...
Now that there is a separate Proposals site with its own Meta and other categories, that would seem to qualify as a separate "Codidact Community" which should be listed among the "Other Codidact ...
Moderator only tags Another existing feature that might be relevant as part of a solution: some tags can only be added by a moderator, such as "status-completed". If "voltage" is created as a mode...
Examining precedent The Stack Exchange network has the core of this feature: you can write [tag:tag-name] in the body of a question or answer to get a button (really an a tag, just like here) that...
Automatically collect new tags for review As Codidact communities grow, I can see a need to transition smoothly from the norms of a "new" site to those with open, wide participation. Initially, pe...
Currently, the inbox retains notifications for comments that have since been deleted. This is unnecessary, and quite a disappointment when you're eager for a discussion, only to find that the comme...
Comments allow some Markdown features such as numbered and bullet point lists, code blocks, and quote blocks. They also allow MathJax in communities for which it is enabled. A rendered comment can ...
When a comment thread is expanded, the width of the post it is attached to in some cases increases. This seems to be rare (most posts do not change width when their comment threads are expanded), s...
The tag limit is a trade off. If you allow many tags, you have more freedom when tagging, but also you must work harder to clean up unnecessary tags from people who don't know better. That last one...
A site may be effectively dead in terms of new valid contributions. That is unfortunate, and may reflect badly on the rest of the Codidact network. A user visiting Codidact for the first time, may ...
