This isn't possible, as of yet. It's a limitation in the system, and one that needs fixing. It's been mentioned a few times, and so is a known limitation. It's not by design; it's just functionali...

A site may be effectively dead in terms of new valid contributions. That is unfortunate, and may reflect badly on the rest of the Codidact network. A user visiting Codidact for the first time, may ...

Q&A Add post type and title to the URL
