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...
If a moderator deletes an answer, and the author of the answer tries to restore it, a notice is added to the top of the page saying "You cannot restore this post deleted by a moderator", but the UR...

After editing a comment, any MathJax in the comment is not rendered (instead displaying as raw text) until the page is refreshed. If a user does not know to refresh the page, they may be led to be...
When no filters are applied to a post list it shows "Filters (None)". When there are filters applied to a post list it shows "Filters ()". Would it be useful for there to be a 1 line summary of t...
From the search help: You can use m for minute, h for hour, d for day, w for week, mo for month, and y for year. It seems likely that users would want to use months more often than minutes in...
From the Review Suggested Edit page there is a button to "Return to post" which links back to the post on which the edit is being suggested: This makes sense, as one of the places a reviewer may...
In the edit history for a post, the initial version is labelled "Initial revision" even though it is not a revision. What would make more sense here? Initial post? Initial version? Initial wor...
I'm curious about the list of "Hot Posts" shown in the right hand panel of Codidact pages. So here are some completely unimportant questions that I'm intrigued to know more about: How is the lis...
When viewing my own user profile (not anyone else's) there is a button below the profile content called "Mobile Sign In": This does the same as the Mobile Sign In button in the page header: I...

I've been looking at the Codidact Communities Discord channels (see the join us in chat link in the right hand panel of this page). Is it possible for Codidact Communities Discord users to create ...
Tags should be at the top In addition to the possibility of navigating to the question from somewhere other than the questions list (which means I haven't seen the tags), I'd also find it useful t...

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...
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 wonde...
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 se...
