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...
Minor visual bug (no effect on usage). When uploading an image during editing or creating a post, the page is greyed out while the "Image upload" modal is showing (as intended). However, 2 of the ...
After making an edit to an answer (in this case an answer of my own on Collab) I pressed Edit to make a further edit and the Edit Comment field was populated with the comment of my immediately prev...
In addition to bare URLs being clickable, I would also find it useful to have human readable links in edit comments. For example: Markdown links: [link text](https://example.com "hover text") g...
Testing different approaches When considering what approach to take to awarding abilities, or what specific values to use for the thresholds, it might be worth drafting database queries for each a...
A user's profile page shows their top 15 posts, with a button to see all. This page showing all of a user's posts is just like the questions list or search results, with pagination if there are too...
On the user profile page there is a horizontal blue line across the top of the page that groups the tabs, with the currently showing tab highlighted in that same blue. On some of the tabs this show...
When searching for a user, from the search box at the top of the users page, if there are no results then nothing is displayed. This can make it unclear whether the search has finished with no resu...
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 ...
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...
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...
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 ...
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:
