The fix for "Although div tag is not allowed, it's rendered in the preview" has also fixed this inconsistent style problem. Entering the same raw text into the input text box now results in an edi...
When a notification refers to new comments in a comment thread that I am following, the title of the comment thread is in single quotes, and the title of the post is also in single quotes, making i...
There is a link in the right hand panel (or bottom of the page on mobile) to "join us in chat". Chat is an entirely optional extra, but I'm curious about one thing, so this question is intended as...
Considering both timeframe and last N events We could base awarding of an ability on both proportion of events in a timeframe, and proportion of events in the last N events. I'll use concrete numb...
In the Abilities page for the Moderator ability, it says: Moderators also have access to special moderator-specific help pages. Since only moderators have access to these, the link goes to a ...
Proposals When proposing a new Codidact community, there is a proposal template but it is a separate page in the help system, provided as a link from the top of the new post page in the Descriptio...
Below a question, the time posted is displayed, and hovering over it shows an exact timestamp: Notice that the timestamp is followed by a "Z" to indicate that this time is in the timezone UT...
Do Codidact posts support SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) for images and animations? I can't get either the image upload button or inline SVG to work. Is SVG not supported?
At the bottom of the Activity tab of my user profile page, there are buttons to move through the pagination of the results. There is a “Previous” button, several specific page number buttons, then ...
Sometimes, after having the site open for a while, it has been automatically signed out. This will not be apparent until you try to navigate and see the page in the signed out layout (no user avata...
When hovering over the upvote and downvote counts next to a post, the score of the post is displayed, which is helpful: However, the score is also displayed when hovering over the upvote and dow...
My own view is that even minor edits are valuable, even on old posts. I appreciate that there will sometimes be reason to reject such edits, but I would not personally take the age of a post into a...
Good idea, not just for closed questions I like the idea of hiding the sorting buttons when they serve no purpose. I see no reason to restrict this to closed questions. If the visibility of the so...
ArtOfCode's answer covers true A/B testing, which involves a randomised experiment and the system to support it. However, the question sounds as if it is also considering the ability for individua...
While that page is being edited, there's a typo that could be fixed at the same time: There are 6 Abilities you can earn on this site (not neccessarily in this order): Note that this is corre...
From a comment thread page, pressing "flag" on a comment results in a pop up panel with a text input and a "Flag" button. On mobile, in portrait mode, this pop up panel overlaps the left hand edge ...
I would argue that this feature should be opt out, rather than opt in. That is, everyone should receive email for their notifications (answers to their questions or comments on their posts) unless ...
Moderators are flawed These volunteers give their time freely and deal with more difficult situations behind the scenes than most users realise. However, as much as I respect and deeply appreciate...
Comments below posts are grouped into threads, each of which can have a meaningful name so several different conversations can happen in parallel with less risk of confusion. However, sometimes th...
I prefer no border for general images I would not want every image to be surrounded by a border. Images are added for many reasons, and in many cases a border would not be wanted. For example, a b...
Currently, search results can be sorted by posted date (shown as "Age" in the sorting buttons) but not by edited date / most recent activity: Would you find it useful to have this sorting option...
When adding a tag to a post, beginning to type leads to all matching tags being displayed, avoiding the need to type out tag names by hand. Would it be useful to include this feature in the Pref...
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. Deleting it with the little...
I clicked on "react" on an answer on Codidact Meta and found that the only available reaction is "Outdated", which I don't want to use. There doesn't appear to be any way to close the dialogue box ...
Is there a preferred process for making minor fixes such as typos on codidact.org? I've made a commit to a fork but I didn't want to raise a GitHub issue and make a pull request without checking t...
