A: Future planning: what user preferences would be useful? Show/Disable last seen time This is a pretty standard preference for those sites that do have "last seen" tracking, for those who want to opt out. If they enable it, their last seen time would be shown on their profile, if not, it wouldn't. (more) |

A: Future planning: what user preferences would be useful? status-completed Favorite tags It's an idea I was thinking about since a while ago, but wouldn't it be nice if users could choose 'favorite' tags, and they would be highlighted in some way on the feed? (maybe with a different background). For example, on Software Q&A, I would favorite JavaSc... (more) |

Reset button for drafts I was recently editing someone else's answer, but I didn't like my changes and decided to redo them. However, there was no way to reset the edit (revert to the state before I started editing). The Cancel button doesn't work either, it just exits the page and when I click on "Suggest Edit" again, the ... (more) |

A: General discussion on making votes public Let's weigh the pros and cons. Pros - Discourages downvoting without reason As stated in Olin's answer, people will be less likely to go on a downvoting spree if their name is attached to those downvotes. - Uh... we can lynch active downvoters? Cons - False accusations of revenge voti... (more) |

A: How should staff deal with posts critical of themselves that they want deleted? Follow normal procedures. > If there's a post attacking a particular user or group of users, the appropriate thing to do is to flag and let one of the mods/staff deal with it. If someone disagrees with the mod(s)/staff's actions, they can take it up with the Arbitration & Review Panel or ask a que... (more) |

A: What is clicking the inbox icon in the top bar actually supposed to do? It is supposed to open the notifications inbox. My notifications However, due to a bug, https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/162, this will fail under certain conditions. When this happens, your notifications will be marked read without the notifications showing up. (more) |

[status-completed] posts bury everything else At the time of writing, there is a big chunk of (around 15) [status-completed] and [status-declined] posts in the Q&A category feed, burying the open posts. Since open posts are much more important than completed ones, I think that this situation should be avoided. I suggest either: 1. Add an ... (more) |

Serve images with file extensions I've noticed that images uploaded to Codidact don't retain any meta information. That is, they don't keep either the name of the image or the image extension. While the former isn't that bad (alt text or just plain explanation is probably better if information about the image is needed), the latte... (more) |

| Answer | — |
A: Should we show tags before the body, to provide context for reading the question? I think that questions should be able to stand on their own without the use of tags, and so tags should be unnecessary to display at all. Not to say they have no use - it's helpful if you want to know some information about a question at a glance, such as when looking at the feed - but if you need to... (more) |

Automatically clean up tags with zero posts There are currently seven tags with zero posts associated with them in the Meta Q&A category[^1] (excluding tags like TibetLhasatourpackage which have deleted posts associated with them.)

Should we use the Article type for bug reports? I've recently been looking through the [[bug] tag](https://meta.codidact.com/categories/3/tags/394), and one thing stood out to me.

A: Suggestion for allowing to mark answers as "accepted", "outdated" or "dangerous" I would like this functionality to extend to 'questions' as well as answers.

Allow users to link more than one website in their profile. Currently, users can only add their twitter handle and one other website to their profile. I find this kind of limiting since someone might want to add more to their profile. Say for instance they want to put a link to both their blog and their professional website; right now, they have no way of doi... (more) |

Add a [status-pending] or similar tag My other Meta post n the usage of status tags pointed out a pretty big gap to me. Namely, we don't have a tag to signify that something is being actively worked on. While we currently use either [status-completed] (for things that are done developing but not yet launched) or [status-planned] to this ... (more) |

What is the policy on importing questions by simply quoting the question over here?

A: The site claims I made edits to post while I was offline The timestamp for edits is when the post is changed.

Allow block quotes in comments When commenting on a post, sometimes I want to comment on a specific paragraph, or similar section. The most natural way to me is to block quote it, however using Markdown to do it doesn't work (it just removes the `>`).

Save draft button So apparently, while writing a new post, there's an auto-save feature where every once in a while the system saves the current progress as a draft. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to manually save it, which seems kind of odd to me given that the save feature is there already. Could we have a ... (more) |

Direct comment links don't jump to the comment when it is hidden. Currently, comments past the fifth(?) comment are hidden for length purposes.

Indicate which posts in the category feed have unread updates Right now, if a category has new/updated posts, a small dot appears next to the category name. Could this feature be extended to posts within the category as well? While it's not that hard to just manually see which posts have unread changes, it would be convenient to have an indicator.

Allowing arbitrary image links causes security warnings screenshot This question's page shows up as not secure on my computer. I believe it is due to this answer.

Have permalink button show a popup instead of redirecting Currently, when I click the "permalink" button on a post, it just sends me to the permalink URL, which is kind of unintuitive - it took me a couple seconds to realize that the page hadn't just reloaded and the URL had changed.

Overflowing text in answer Overflowing text On this answer to my question over on Languages, you can see how it ended up overflowing the post area and how part of it is hidden underneath the side widget.
