When an HTML tag is used in a post but is not supported by Codidact, a warning message is displayed listing the unsupported tags. However, syntax highlighting hints in the form of HTML comments suc...
I was confused by the unusual layout of text below a post in the question list: Note the long gap after "posted 3y ago by". Viewing the individual question page shows the underlying cause: T...
When starting a new comment thread, the "Create thread" button is disabled until the content of the "Your comment" text box has at least 15 characters. This character count includes leading and tra...
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 ...
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...
By default all edits should show Every time an edit is made, the post or its parent should move to the top of the question list. This reduces the chance of an edit being missed by the community. ...
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...
If edits are made to a large number of posts in a short period, they will push everything else off the front page, taking visibility away from recent questions and answers. They will also take visi...
There have recently been several edits in a short period of time by a single user. This user does not yet have the Edit Posts ability, so all of the edits are suggested edits, which require review ...
Thanks for spotting this. I've just checked and the typo is also present in the database seed that is used for setting up new communities, so it needs to be fixed there too to avoid this happening ...
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...
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...
Intrinsic & extrinsic motivation, and perverse incentives It is clear that your intentions are good, but the outcomes may not be. Intrinsic or extrinsic? People's motivation for making edits...
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...
The front page can already be customised by each user, and more customisation is planned. If you think of specific improvements that could be made (such as being able to choose between the dashboar...
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...
From How to ask a great question in the help section: If you put your question title into a search engine, can you find the answer to your question in the first three results? If so, perhaps con...
Codidact posts support Markdown tables. For example, the following raw text: Column 1 | Column 2 -------- | -------- Data A | Data B Data C | Data D renders as: Column 1 Column ...
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...
A preferences problem highlighted in an answer on Software Development Meta appears to have been somewhat fixed, but leaving an inconsistency with the guidance on the preferences page. At the top ...
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 ...
Currently the old Site Proposals category points to the new Proposals community, presumably as a temporary measure until people get used to the new community. This is not ideal, as described in the...
I am a new user to Codidact that just migrated from StackOverflow and there are some things I would like to get across. Welcome to Codidact! Thank you for sharing your suggestions for improvem...
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 ...
Are there any rules about a user having multiple Codidact accounts (sometimes known as sockpuppet accounts)? What should a user do if they suspect another user has multiple accounts?
