Use filters across devices If I save filters for the question list, I can use them at a later date, which is very useful. However, they are only available on the device I saved them on. It would be useful to have the saved filters available on any device where I am signed in. For example, I could then save a filter on my de... (more) |

MathJax breaks in edit history I noticed this in a [post on Code Golf Codidact] where MathJax is enabled. The raw text of the post can be seen by pressing "Edit" or "Suggest edit" below the post: Text during editing, showing the $ enclosed MathJax terms When viewing the edit history, most of the MathJax is rendered, rathe...

Missing translation for English for suggested edits rate limit I'm guessing that the following message means that I have been rate limited for suggested edits, but this error is showing instead of the intended message: Red error message saying "The following errors prevented your post from being saved: translation missing: en.ratelimit.suggestededits" I re...

I really like this idea. It does mean one additional click for someone who wants the plain URL, but for me that would be a reasonable price to pay.
An alternative would be to have separate buttons rather than a drop down. One additional button would probably fit on desktop view, but probably not t... (more) |

Input box is not on screen after pressing "Start new comment thread" with expanded comments If comment threads below a post are already expanded, then the input box that appears after pressing the "Start new comment thread" button is too far down the page to be visible. This makes it look like the button is broken, unless the user thinks to scroll down the page and look for the input box. ... (more) |

| Question | — |
Post score in title text of vote counts does not update when voting When adding or removing an upvote or downvote, the user interface is updated without reloading the page. This changes the upvote and downvote buttons to be the appropriate colour based on whether the user has upvoted or downvoted or neither, and changes the number of upvotes and downvotes. However, i...

That sounds consistent with old images showing fine and new images not showing. Thanks for the info - I'll check back in 24 hours and edit accordingly. (more) |

A: Should the Discord guidance be updated as discriminators are being removed? From [Discord's announcement]: > In addition, your previous username and discriminator will continue to work as an alias after the conversion process is done, so old friends who don’t know your new username yet will continue to be able to add you. So even after the discriminator (the `#1234` in... (more) |

I agree that there are fundamental differences that give Codidact a much better chance of turning out well long term, but I'm also really glad that potential future problems are being discussed now, while there is time to try out new ideas that might help.
I see one of Codidact's strongest advanta... (more) |

I understand website reviews being off topic to keep the questions section focused. How would you feel about a separate category for site reviews, like the separate category for code reviews on [Software Codidact](https://software.codidact.com/)? (more) |

Yes you're right, this is a bug. It was [reported on Software Meta](https://software.codidact.com/posts/288238) and a [fix has been implemented](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/pull/1057), but has not yet been deployed. (more) |

I absolutely agree that we cannot separate voting from people's likes and dislikes. Voting is indeed far from the ideal of purely assessing accuracy and quality.
My concern is that this proposal would push voting even further from that ideal.
At present, people voting selfishly can still give a... (more) |

People's voting will be for a mixture of reasons, some of them political, and this proposal will not distinguish the reasons. This means that filtering based on prejudice will implicitly happen, which would be much easier to detect with tags than with automatically adjusted vote values.

A: Are downvotes needed? There is a difference between a flag ("this requires action that only a moderator can take") and a downvote, which expresses an opinion about the post that the community can decide how to respond to. There may be several reasons for and against having downvotes. This answer just expresses one reas... (more) |

| Comment | Post #288268 |
What a downvoter means by their downvote is not defined by the guidance in the help documents. It is a personal decision. Anyone can downvote for any reason, and at least some downvotes are motivated by disagreement.

On Meta, downvotes can indicate that a post is low quality, but they can also indicate disagreement with the opinion expressed, even if that opinion is expressed eloquently.
So although I am in favour of keeping downvotes (and will be adding an answer expressing a benefit), I do appreciate that th... (more) |

A: Support subjective scoring This is an interesting proposal. Although I think it would be detrimental in its current form, I'd like to emphasise that I would like to see more discussion of potential modifications to the way the site is curated and presented.
