Question Supporting more space efficient image and video file formats
Currently image uploads are supported for files of type PNG, JPEG (.jpeg or .jpg), and GIF. In another question I uploaded a video of my screen to illustrate the problem being raised there. This was recorded by my operating system as MP4, at a size of 48kB. In order to upload it, I first had to conve...

Question Keyboard tab does not work as expected with image uploading
After pressing the "Insert image" button above the "Body" field when creating or editing a post, the tab context is not transferred to the dialogue box that opens, instead remaining on the page behind. This means that pressing tab cycles through the elements in the page in the background, rather than...

Question Standard options for comment flagging
As pointed out in a comment on a post about comment flagging, currently comment flags only allow entering a free text message, not selecting an option such as spam or abusive. Please could we have a list of standard radio buttons like when flagging a post? I'd still like to see the free text field...

Answer A: How should a Codidact public API work?
Rewriting the Code Golf leaderboard script Code Golf Codidact has an automated leaderboard to show all the answers at a glance. In the absence of an API this currently scrapes the HTML to gather its information, which means it has to request more than it needs. I'd like the API to provide the f...

Question Rejected suggested edit changes what is listed as the original text
I viewed a rejected suggested edit, and then made an edit of my own to the same post. I then viewed the rejected suggested edit again, and noticed that the "before" content (the left hand side) included my changes, even though the suggested edit was rejected before I made my changes. > The rejecte...

Answer A: Do not close the notification menu when a notification's item is opened in another tab
Yes let's fix this I would definitely like to see the notifications panel stay open after a ctrl+click (or cmd+click on MacOS). This is standard browser functionality which should not result in an unexpected change to the page. Its purpose is to allow uninterrupted continued reading of the current t...

Comment Post #293763 Although I'd give this feature request very low priority in favour of more important things, I agree it would be useful and I would like to see it eventually.

Answer A: Allow users to copy-paste text and images at once
Current functionality At present, text and images can be pasted into the Codidact post editor "Body" field separately, but not together. Each of these works in a specific way. Text Text is pasted as plain text, with no formatting. If you copy a paragraph that contains bold and italics only the t...

Comment Post #293756 It seems at least the [part related to answer drafts](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/538) was already fixed in 2021, so this may be a regression or a new unrelated problem.

Comment Post #293726 Thanks - that's helpful. On looking at your example search results again, I see I was wrong about the results being in alphabetical order, so I tried a few more examples.

Comment Post #293704 I would see no problem with making it mandatory to fix the alt text before posting (a permanently disabled Save button, rather than a delay). I fully appreciate that the intention behind the delay is positive, I just suspect that the overall impression may not be. Both of us are aiming to see Codidac...

Comment Post #293648 I've made myself some notes to raise something about per user and per post settings. I won't raise it yet, as it will be easier to say what's required once these decisions about MathML have reached consensus.

Emphasise accessibility for future readers, improve sentence structure

Comment Post #293704 If you use AI to generate alt text, I hope the input is the whole post, not just the image. Ideally the wording says what the image means to the specific post, not just describing the image in general. For example, if the same image is used in 2 different posts, it's likely the alt text would be d...

Answer A: Remove the timer before saving a post when an image has no alt text
Please include alt text I would much prefer that all images in posts have alt text. The help article linked from that message explains the benefits. I don't know how many current users use a screen reader or other assistive technology, but this number is likely to grow as the Codidact communities...

Comment Post #293648 If we were starting new today, I'd like to see Markdown as an optional feature that could be switched on or off for different communities, like MathJax, but several years in that would be a bigger change due to Markdown being part of the interface. Also I expect most communities would struggle to get...

Comment Post #293648 Even with Markdown occasionally formatting something it shouldn't, I suspect most users will continue to prefer to write Markdown rather than HTML, just because they are used to it.

Comment Post #293648 My comments weren't intended as an objection to your proposal (hence me starting with "I agree"). I just wanted to point out that MathJax (like Markdown) may have a longer future than you might expect.

Comment Post #293648 I understood that you aren't promoting stopping MathJax at present. My comments were in response to "MathJax served its purpose when there was no alternative", "MathJax will be a footnote in history", and "eventually it will fade away". I understand that your proposal is to allow use of the `<math>` ...
