Codidact hasn't chosen to take the same path, @MaskedMan - we recognised the downsides of that approach too. We just haven't got to that point of development yet; other features have been more important. It hasn't been forgotten. (more) |

A: Requests to improve the contests These are all things that would be great to do, and they're all planned in some form, down the line. It won't be immediate; there's a bunch of other more critical features that need to be done first before we can look at a specific Contest post type that does this sort of thing. (more) |

A: I shouldn't be able to vote on deleted posts. Missed that rule when I was working out what could/couldn't be voted on five years ago, and apparently nobody's noticed it yet... Fixed now - thanks! (more) |

@JamesJenkins The link you're using there is to an HTML page, not to an image. _Usually_ links that end in .jpg, .png etc are images, but Wikimedia hijacks them and serves HTML; you want <https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/Pavement_ants_battling_on_sidewalk.jpg/1280px-Pavement_...

A: Software Engineering && Mathematics && Computer Science Let me refer you to an answer I wrote a few days ago. One person can't start a community - it simply doesn't work. To get a successful site moving, there needs to be a group of people willing to put in the time and effort to seed and curate high-quality content and to get the word out about the co... (more) |

@JamesJenkins As long as it's a direct link to an image, adding a ! should embed the image in the post - that should work anywhere Markdown is supported. (more) |

A: I suggest a "MediaWiki Answers" sort of site Here's the thing. This Site Suggestions category is here for, per its description, folks who have some sort of core group of users interested in building a site. The idea for a site is one thing, but it's not enough to get a good, active site going - a site needs a community, and one person does not ... (more) |

I'm thinking of something like this: <https://meta.codidact.com/rails/active_storage/blobs/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBidz09IiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--b8a402898b15a6ea725fc7f3993c7256ef39d4aa/Screenshot%20from%202020-05-04%2019-59-09.png> (more) |

Heh. I just ran into this entirely independently too, so this is definitely an issue. I'll see what I can do about that. (more) |

No reason why they couldn't, @mattdm - I'd just have them list across the top of a category page. Let me mock something up. (more) |

There's also an argument to be made that it might be worth starting with fewer categories as I suggested here, and then if you _do_ end up with a wall of one type, that's a good argument that it should have its own category. (more) |

@mattdm I see what you're getting at, but I'm not convinced categories are the right solution either. We'll also have support for a custom top-of-sidebar slot soon - in theory for "professional services" disclaimers such as Law and Mi Yodeya have, but it could also be abused for something saying "X, ...

Licensing will be available by launch in any case - the PR adding the feature in is in final review and will be merged and deployed shortly, after which we can add whatever license you think is right. (more) |

A: Photo-Video Codidact Site Bear in mind how categories work: Image alt text That works great for a few categories, but not so great when you've got lots. That's by-design: categories are intended to be very broad groups of questions, as Monica's already said in a comment. Think of how distinct Q&A and Meta are from one a... (more) |

Yup, I picked up on them, @JamesJenkins - you _can_ also report on meta if you want to, quote the error ID it gives you. That mostly just helps me keep track of what's actually affecting people and what's low-priority. (more) |
