Comment Post #290764 While I'd echo the other comment about the front page not really being a "feed" as such, I like the idea of a tag-based method of browsing. Not sure how it would work, but it's something I'd be interested in exploring a bit.

Answer A: Would there ever be A / B testing?
Not in the forseeable future. Building a system to A-B test new features takes time, as does the analysis afterwards. While we're still a small team, it's more effective for us to collect feedback via Meta, make changes, and continue to collect feedback afterwards. This lets us make changes quickly w...

Answer A: Modular or “microservices” architecture
The first question to ask when considering a change of architecture is why? What benefits would a modular architecture bring, and would it outweigh the drawback of having to re-write the entire system? The main reason to make something modular is so that it can be used as separate parts, but if you s...

Answer A: Vote counts as ratios?
This is already how it works. Those red/green bars in post lists are driven by a Wilson score for the post based on the numbers of up and downvotes. Post & answer sorting is also based on these Wilson scores. If you hover over the vote counts on any post, the Wilson score will be displayed in a toolt...

Comment Post #290006 Running the numbers for Monica, one of our most prolific voters - in the past month, this would have almost doubled the number of notifications she received - this alone resulted in almost the same number of notifications as all other activity combined. I think it's worth thinking about some sort of ...

Comment Post #276584 @#64277 I'd suggest looking at some more recent posts (like [this one](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/289080)) for up-to-date information - this one is very much outdated.

Answer A: Is it okay to scrape Codidact for personal tools?
As a general rule: yes, for personal use there's no issue with that. Caveats: First & foremost, this is a general rule - if we discover requests or usage that looks like a problem we'll want to know what's going on; CloudFlare sits in front of all the public communities and will take issue wi...

Answer A: Spinners don't spin for nested details tags
I've fixed this in the design framework - once the CDN's cache updates, you should see this start working properly.

Comment Post #289240 Yeah, the preview isn't entirely accurate as to what it allows. If you try posting that you should find it gets stripped out.

Answer A: Rendering bug of HTML entity in hover text for tags guidance.
This is something we either can't fix, or can't fix without significant effort. It's been a little while since I last checked what browser tooltips can do, but one thing they can't do is render HTML entities. That's up to your browser, not up to us. The way to fix it would be to use a custom tooltip,...

Comment Post #289208 @#36396 FractionalRadix isn't talking about 2FA. They're suggesting adding a second confirmation to the _mobile sign in_ feature, which is separate. 2FA is not and will not be required.

Comment Post #289108 You've clicked "moderator tools" from the main page or from the sidebar on another page. You need to click on the "moderator tools" button _on a user's profile_, as Monica said.

Answer A: 1. Outline Codidact's complaints process? 2. What public bodies oversee Codidact?
You have a slight misunderstanding here, I'm afraid. Companies like Lloyds Bank and British Airways are both part of highly regulated industries (banking and aviation). Those industries have their own specific set of regulations, regulators, ombudsmen, professional bodies, etc, which often require co...

Comment Post #288695 @#63646 Absolutely not! We're a small team, but that doesn't mean we're not trying to improve Codidact as we go. Feature requests from users are an essential part of that - they help us understand how folks are using these communities and how we can help. We have to prioritise and we can't do everyth...

Answer A: A feature-request status page
Codidact is small, as is our team. Our development team is even smaller. That means that time, especially dev time, is a very precious resource that we have little of. Something like this requires a fairly significant time investment both in development and in keeping up to date; I'm not convinced th...

Answer A: Images fail to load when previewed or saved
Should be fixed now - the arcanities of nginx, ActiveStorage, and AWS conspired against us on this migration, but they've now each been shown a roll of duct tape and told firmly to keep themselves in line.

Article Changes to the Codidact Privacy Policy
We've made a small update to our privacy policy related to a third-party library. While editing, we also restored a link that had been accidentally left out of the original document, causing some confusion. In order to accept donations, we use a third-party payment system, Stripe. When we added t...

Comment Post #287573 @#53890 thanks, that's helpful. I _think_ this is all because I forgot to turn the CF proxy back on after the server work, which I've now done so this should resolve itself. (As for those URLs, it goes `site.codidact.org/users/USER_ID/avatar/SIZE.png`.)
