Question 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...

Comment Post #278074 @ShowMeBillyJo I'm sure novices could be interested in many things they don't understand. My point was, Monica didn't even know what the question was about, even after looking at the tags - . Like I said in my post, "sure, you might now know how to fix a click signal not being received by the main wi...

Comment Post #277949 @aCVn I think that the "complexity outweighs the value" can only be decided by the devs. Downvoting a feature request for that is stopping it from happening before problems with it are found.

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...

Comment Post #278050 Obviously there should be a reasonable limit. I just don't think that limit should be *1*. Design and implementation-wise, you could take a page off how other sites do it - another site that I'm on allows users to define arbitrary "name: address" rows on their profile page. (ex. Twitter: @username...

Comment Post #278037 @DonielF Yeah, that sounds better. Toggling the children on the hierarchy page is much more intuitive to me than just hiding them and leaving it to the user to open each individual tag page.

Question 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.) These tags are kind of annoying since they clog up the suggested tags list (and the tags page when sorting by hie...

Comment Post #277993 Also, I actually think that separating bug reports into it's own category would be immensely helpful - those reports tend to get buried beneath all the new stuff, since they are rarely updated, and it'll be much easier to find previous reports once search by catagory is implemented.

Comment Post #277993 To be entirely honest, I wish people would just post bug reports on github as a new issue so it'd all be gathered in one place, but I can't expect everyone to have a github account.

Question 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. Every bug post either has no answers, or one answer that just says, "The bug has been fixed" (or some variation thereof). Even that one answer is unnecessary anyway sinc...

Answer A: Suggestion for allowing to mark answers as "accepted", "outdated" or "dangerous"

Comment Post #277949 @Dani 1. I did explicitly say that it was an option. 2. I had no idea about linktree, and I doubt many people do either. Besides, using linktree just sems like a workaround, being able to do it here would be preferrable.

Question 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...
