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. (more) |

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 ... (more) |

@#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posts (like [this one](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/289080)) for up-to-date information - this one is very much outdated. (more) |

Yeah, the preview isn't entirely accurate as to what it allows. If you try posting that you should find it gets stripped out. (more) |

@#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. (more) |

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. (more) |

@#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...

Good thought - I use 1Password, which can scan the QR code itself, so I've never needed this. I've done this in the code, just pending next deploy. (more) |

@#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`.) (more) |

I can't reproduce this. If you click on the lock icon and into whatever details it'll give you, does it tell you _what_ resource exactly is insecure? (more) |

More just looking for a general opinion. I was leaning towards option 1 or 2 as well - the current design is a bit odd with similar things in separate places, one link and one button - option 1/2 unifies it a bit. (more) |

@#8049 It's certainly a possibility. This was the easiest option to get set up so we could make something available, but there are ways of doing that with our existing processor that we can look into. (more) |

@#8049 While that's not totally impossible, it's not feasible with our current setup, unfortunately. codidact.com and codidact.org are both simple client-side sites with no backend systems - the communities are the only place we have the systems in place to handle the donations. (more) |

@#8049 I've just tuned the block slightly so that it should exclude logged-in users, so you should avoid most of these. Let me know if there's not been any change. (more) |

Hi! Developer here. When you say the user management is not running locally, what do you mean? Users are managed in a MySQL database that you set up as part of the initial setup process, so user data is wherever your database is. Are you looking for OAuth or SSO/AD sign on instead? (more) |

@#53196 Sure, they add a link, but my point was that they don't actually do anything or change anything about the post - all closing can do is add a message. What are you looking for it to do?

@#53288 It's not possible that you know who is voting on your posts, that information isn't available to you. It is available to me, and I can see a pretty even spread of votes by various different people. There's no voting fraud here, just people voting on content.

@#53305 I don't disagree, but so is stopping people with names that aren't completely Americanized or Anglicised from using them. Six and two threes. We should be looking at ways around this, rather than just saying "we'll block it completely" instead. (more) |

@#53305 Without trying to be flippant... what's stopping you copy-pasting the username? Or, worst case, hover over the link and type in the user ID yourself? Not ideal, no, but neither's breaking the system for anyone with a name that's not 100% ASCII. What about Chloë? Or Ægidius? Or, indeed, 李某? Se... (more) |

@#53305 And then what about folks who want to use their real names? Real names aren't all ASCII, let alone usernames. Works the other way round, too: I can't possibly whitelist all _safe_ Unicode characters, either. (more) |

@#53305 That's the whole reason it's _not_ being restricted. It's easy to abuse, and hard to detect. I can disallow specific Unicode characters, but someone will just find another one. There's no easy attribute I can pick to detect what's "abusive" use of Unicode and what's genuine. If someone wants ... (more) |

@#53922 the most likely thing to happen is that support will send an email to the address registered on the account, so that you can find it that way. That also handles the case of someone claiming an account that isn't theirs, as they won't have access to the email address. (more) |

This is partly intentional. I've just commented on Lundin's answer too: part of the design of this system is intended to create a little bit more friction to commenting, in the hope that they become less of a "put your instant reaction here" and more of a thought-out feedback mechanism. (more) |

Part of the intent of this change is to create _slightly_ more friction to commenting. We've seen both here and on SE that comments being easy to leave makes people less likely to think about what they're writing. Opening a new page for a full comment thread is just that little bit of friction that m... (more) |

Dev here confirming. API is in the plans, but there's a whoooole load in the backlog.

Definitely plenty of scope for folks who want to use it to help specif... (more) |
