Comments aren't for content. They are for working with the author to make a better post. Put another way, they are supposed to be meta about the post. While some basic formatting can be useful, ...
I'm currently not sure if there's even a publicly viewable list of tag synonyms, which is the minimum we should serve. Either way, to improve attainability, we should list all synonyms of a tag on ...
How do you tag users in comments and posts?
When searching for a user, from the search box at the top of the users page, if there are no results then nothing is displayed. This can make it unclear whether the search has finished with no resu...
We can see an edit history of a post, but how do you revert to a past version? When editing a proposal, I noticed that there isn't actually a link for doing it. I can see a diff of past versions, ...
We've mitigated this problem by removing the right column from all of the profile sub-pages. Except on the main profile page (where a right column remains), this column is about the community or c...
If a subscription doesn't have a name, the code generates a default name on the fly to show in the list. These generated names are not stored anywhere and are not guaranteed to stay the same over ...
I put some thoughts into the problem of attracting more people and the Incubator concept. I have ideas and suggestions I'd like to share. Maybe it gets something going. If not, also fine. Current ...
Is there a discrepancy between the description on the Edit Posts Ability page and the way that assignment of the ability is calculated? The image shows the Edit Posts Ability page for me on ...
I opened the web inspector and made a quick sketch of how I think these sections can be improved. The changes include removing the border, setting a background colour, lowering the weight of the su...
On the user profile page there is a horizontal blue line across the top of the page that groups the tabs, with the currently showing tab highlighted in that same blue. On some of the tabs this show...
Please don't use/allow links like this It's fundamentally still advertising Notwithstanding what manufacturers or retailers are suggested, and regardless of apparent intent, links like these stil...
Right clicking on somebody else's profile picture, then selecting "open in new tab", results in a new tab opening, but with a download beginning instead of displaying the image inside that tab. For...
The "Sign Up" and "Sign In" buttons at the top right of the page (when not signed in) have a different mouse cursor when hovered over. The mouse cursor changes to a pointing hand and the style of t...
When not signed in, the edit button beneath a post is not present: Buttons below a post when not signed in Buttons below a post when signed in The problem This means that to edit an...
When a 2FA code is requested, the input box is not active, so the user has to click on or tab to the input box before they can type the code. It would be more convenient if the "Code" input ...
Main suggested change In a suggested edit page there is a “Return to post” button at the top right. This only makes sense when the previous page was the post. When the previous page was the...
The Policy and Legal sections in the Help Center are policies set by the providers of the network -- in this case, the Codidact Foundation. The Qpixel repository includes "stubs" for these pages f...
I think it would be reasonable to introduce a new tag, "cross-duplicate-candidate" to tag cross-category or cross-community duplicates with until the software is updated to allow closing them. We'r...
A step toward this: if you choose "copy link" on a top-level post, you now have two options, the raw link and a Markdown version. The Markdown version uses the post title as the link text. So it'...
As noted in Mithical's answer, the forum was for early bootstrapping, before we had this network up and running. It used .org, not .com, to try to make that distinction a little clearer. After we...
When you submit a flag we don't refresh the page, and so when you flag again the flag modal doesn't "know" about your previous flag yet. After a refresh, you'll get the "you've previously flagged ...
In addition to bare URLs being clickable, I would also find it useful to have human readable links in edit comments. For example: Markdown links: [link text](https://example.com "hover text") g...
