Is there a reason for preventing user profile content being less than 30 characters? When editing my user profile the interface prevents me from entering fewer than 30 characters. I can understand imposing a minimum length on question titles and post content, but I don't see a reason that a profile page needs to be a certain length. Is there a reason I'm missing or was this just a de... (more) |

Communities drop down disabled when editing profile On most pages of Codidact there is a little drop down arrow at the very top right of the page, which usually displays a list of Codidact communities when clicked. However, when on the "Edit" tab of the user profile page, the drop down arrow is present in the usual place but does nothing when clicked.... (more) |

Once filled out, the user profile cannot be reverted to empty For a long time I had no content in my user profile, then today I added something to see how it would look. I then changed my mind and decided to go back to having nothing. However, there is a minimum number of characters on the "Profile" field of the "Edit" tab, preventing me from going back to leav...

Hot Posts curiosity I'm curious about the list of "Hot Posts" shown in the right hand panel of Codidact pages. So here are some completely unimportant questions that I'm intrigued to know more about: - How is the list of Hot Posts produced? - Is there a scoring mechanism to determine how hot a post is? - Are the di...

Special view for deleted answers to avoid confusion ![Notifications panel] Opening a new response (new answer) from the Notifications panel opens it in a special view where that answer is shown at the top of the answer list.

Thanks for raising an issue Monica. I did try manually changing the url to include `sort=activity` and it didn't change the order of the list like it does for `sort=age`, so I guess that means there is at least some backend change required. Great to know it's on the horizon though. (more) |

**"filters can be defined, named, and reused"**

Thanks FoggyFinder - that issue helped me narrow down the problem.

Mismatch between tags list and number of posts for a given tag Sometimes the number of posts indicated in the tags list does not match the number of posts displayed for that tag.

Was about to comment that maybe the Outdoors community would benefit from a separate category for photo contests rather than everything have to be Q&A, and then checked and saw that this is already done. Great to see individual communities not having to constrain everything to the Q&A format. (more) |
