Question Details tag requires an internal blank line to render markdown
When using a `` tag to add an expandable section to a post, markdown will mostly still work inside the expandable section, but some of it will not work on the first line. Markdown treats multiple lines as a single line for rendering unless separated by a blank line or a trailing pair of spaces. This ...

Answer A: Option to sort answers by Age
I posted this feature request because I'd like to see the option to sort by Age, for those occasions where I'd find it useful or interesting. I definitely do not want to change the default sorting order. I like the current default of sorting by Score. I would still use Score and Active most freque...

Question Total number of search results
At the top of the posts page, the total number of posts shows. At the top of the search results page, there is not a total number of results.

GitHub issue: - https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/1109 []()At the top of the posts list, the total number of posts is shown on the left. Hovering the mouse pointer over this number shows the title text. This is currently set to be the same number as is already showing, so perhaps it w...

Answer A: "Random from user" ad template, for "selfish sharers" like me
More suitable for sites with Challenges than Questions For me personally, I'd most like a "Random from user from Category", so I could have an ad that shows a randomly chosen one of my posts from the Challenges category on Code Golf Codidact. Since Challenges are still open to new answers regardles...

Question "Random from user" ad template, for "selfish sharers" like me
I like the "Random from Category" and "Specific post" ad templates. I've recently been a "selfish sharer" and used the "Specific post" template to share one of my own questions. This made me wonder if there are any other "selfish sharers" out there who might like to be able to share their own ques...

Question Markdown version of ad templates for sites that don't support HTML
I recently changed my username on a site where I used to post coding challenges years ago, to make it clearer that I no longer post there (as I still occasionally receive comments that I may not see for a long time). While I was making a change, I thought I'd try adding one of the Codidact ad temp...

Question Occluded post_types filter list in search

Question Exact date and time of posting on touchscreen devices
In the list of posts, or at the bottom of a post, there is an indication of how long ago it was posted. In a desktop environment with a mouse, hovering over this duration gives an exact date and time of posting. Is there a way we could present this exact date and time in a mobile environment where...

Question MathJax rerenders on movement instead of on change
I've noticed something when using MathJax while preparing/editing a post. Each time a change is made to the raw text, the preview rerenders accordingly. This is the behaviour I expect, which ensures the preview is always up to date. However, it also rerenders each time I move the text cursor, even if...

Question Quick copy button for code blocks
Code blocks have a maximum height, after which any extra content scrolls vertically. This can make it tricky to copy the code for testing or adjusting when answering a question, or assessing an answer. Sometimes while trying to[]() highlight the code in the code block ready for copying, other text on...

Question Support lists (bullets and numbers) in comment markdown

Tags input box showing "bug" tag twice Accidentally clicking on the blue "bug" tag above the tags box in post edit mode adds the tag "bug" even if it is already present, resulting in it being present twice.

Question Search does not search the title of posts
The search only appears to look in the body of a post, not in its title. For example, searching Codidact Meta for "determine" finds posts that have "determine" in the body, but does not include the post [What is an easy way to determine my Trust Level] which contains "determine" only in the title ...

Question Mismatch between tags list and number of posts for a given tag

Question Save title and tags in draft

However, I noticed that only the body was saved, and not the title or tags. Is this deliberate, or would it be helpful for those fields to b...

Question Do we have a public API yet?
I've looked around for information on an existing or planned public API for Codidact but I haven't yet found one. I'm not sure if this means it was decided not to include it in the MVP or if it exists but is not easy to find (for me, at least). The only reference to a public API that I could find ...
