Expected behaviour for different users My expectation is the same as in the question when a user is unable to see deleted posts. Sometimes a user can see a deleted post (such as when the user is ...
In the Post History page for a post that has more than 20 edits, only the most recent 20 are shown, and they are numbered 1 to 20. The most recent edit is numbered 20. If another edit is made, the ...
Is there a discrepancy between the description on the Edit Posts Ability page and the way that assignment of the ability is calculated? The image shows the Edit Posts Ability page for me on ...
Main suggested change In a suggested edit page there is a “Return to post” button at the top right. This only makes sense when the previous page was the post. When the previous page was the...
When not signed in, the edit button beneath a post is not present: Buttons below a post when not signed in Buttons below a post when signed in The problem This means that to edit an...
When a 2FA code is requested, the input box is not active, so the user has to click on or tab to the input box before they can type the code. It would be more convenient if the "Code" input ...
The "Sign Up" and "Sign In" buttons at the top right of the page (when not signed in) have a different mouse cursor when hovered over. The mouse cursor changes to a pointing hand and the style of t...
An alternative would be to remove the list altogether. There is already an "Other communities" link in the footer that links to the full list on codidact.com and the communities in the list are als...
I like this idea, but I wonder if it should be optional. For the link to search results that you mention, that sounds sufficiently unobtrusive that perhaps it wouldn't need to be optional. I think...
Now that there is a separate Proposals site with its own Meta and other categories, that would seem to qualify as a separate "Codidact Community" which should be listed among the "Other Codidact ...
Comments allow some Markdown features such as numbered and bullet point lists, code blocks, and quote blocks. They also allow MathJax in communities for which it is enabled. A rendered comment can ...
When a comment thread is expanded, the width of the post it is attached to in some cases increases. This seems to be rare (most posts do not change width when their comment threads are expanded), s...
Moderator only tags Another existing feature that might be relevant as part of a solution: some tags can only be added by a moderator, such as "status-completed". If "voltage" is created as a mode...
In search results the title is shown followed by a preview of the post, consisting of the first few lines. I would find it more useful to see the section of the post that contains the search term,...
While ArtOfCode's answer explains that this is unlikely to be fixed in the near future, there is a workaround. If you decide that you need a character such as φ in the brief usage guidance that sho...
The sorting buttons at the top of a category's post list have title text which appears on hovering with a mouse, but this is not available on mobile devices. "Activity", "Age", and "Score" are r...
With many different Codidact communities and more being proposed, along with other organisations that have their own instances of the QPixel software, it seems unlikely that any single one of these...
This appears to be fixed. I just tried making an empty edit to this question and received an error message:
Misdiagnosed problem I was wrong about this. It turns out your personal filters are already saved across devices, but there is a problem stopping them from showing up. Workaround Adding a new fi...
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: When viewing the edit history,...
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 t...
After searching from the search box at the top of each page, you are taken to a search results page. This has the search box with the current search term prepopulated, ready to modify and search ag...
Searching for votes:-8 does not give results with net votes -8. Instead it returns all posts, regardless of votes. Upvotes and downvotes break in exactly the same way for negative numbers, but for...
Searching for post_type:2 (answer) and a tag gives no results, as answers do not have tags. Intuitively, I would expect this to return results which are answers to a question with that tag. Is ...
One option is to style the tabs as tabs rather than buttons, similar to the row above which shows the category tabs. The "Ask Question" button can then remain a button: I prefer this to the curr...
