When you hover over a date on SE it shows you the full date time stamp which is a reasonable compromise. We do the same thing here. Hover over most relative timestamps ("x ago") and you'll get...
65535 bytes (the default length for the TEXT type in MySQL). Needless to say, if people start abusing that, it'll get restricted. 😝
I've declined this, for the same reason that I've declined other similar Unicode-related "bugs" before. They're not really bugs, just a product of how easy Unicode is to abuse. The solution: don't...
If you forget your email address, contact support and we'll be able to assist. Allowing people to guess the email address for an account is not something that can be done securely and in a way that...
Fix pushed. When you save a post, we don't take what you typed into the textbox and convert it to markdown on the server, if we can avoid it (we still have to if the client has JS disabled). There...
I thought we did this already, so I had a look. Turns out we were using the wrong link to check for duplicates, which I've updated. You should find you only get one notification per comment thread ...
This is not something we support, technically or ethically. You're more than welcome to promote content on Codidact communities elsewhere, but you must follow the rules of wherever it is you're pos...
This can be done by a developer. Ping us an email to support@ and someone will handle this for you. At present, this will mean that any content associated with your account on that site will be unl...
This is by design. You might already be signed in on your phone or tablet, but what if you want to sign in on another one? We drop this from the top menu because it's less likely if you're already ...
This is displaying fine in all browser tests that I've been able to run. Given that others are reporting this fine too, I'm inclined to suggest there's something janky with your system, rather than...
Unfortunately, this isn't something we have control over. It's down to the MathJax library and how it renders the math. If you look at the page HTML, by default it renders math by putting every cha...
If you mix HTML and Markdown, you have to clearly separate them, which means leaving a clear blank line break between HTML and Markdown sections. This works: <hr/> **Bold text** This ...
We don't do a whole lot on the email notifications front, really. The only emails we send automatically from the application are account emails, plus any subscriptions you create. Beyond that, we d...
All our posts are indexed and have applicable meta tags in the page. Search Console confirms that we are showing up in Google search results. Our biggest problem is our still-small size: the more ...
So this is Cloudflare that's blocking you, not any part of Codidact software. I've found the requests, and it looks like Cloudflare thinks the code you're posting is malicious and has blocked it. ...
This is, technically, already possible. I'm not going to point out how for the same reasons that the request was declined on Stack Exchange: it's far too open to abuse, and (more importantly) it do...
I broadly agree, with two main caveats, one about what to delete, and one about how we go about it. By "what to delete", I'm looking at your point that: We may lose a few stray locally-grown an...
December 2021 Show when a post has been edited on the post itself Only render HTML tags that we support in post previews Allow access to deleted post histories only if the user can see the del...
I've fixed this for a bunch more of these characters, but there are endless numbers of Unicode characters that can be abused to do things like this. Solution: don't do this.
Your edit is to a post on Software Meta, but you're looking at the queue for Software Q&A. If you look at the edit queue for Meta, you'll find it's in there.
I'm not going to call this by design because it wasn't actually intentional, but it does actually make sense. The sign out button on desktop is in the site switcher, so it's consistent to have it t...
We've had a number of requests for a "Hot Network Questions"-like feature, promoting good content from around the network. That's more complex than it sounds on the surface, because there's no easy...
Fixed, thanks! The system was actually working exactly as designed, but articles were marked as not being publicly editable. I've flipped that over again now, so you should see links as normal.
Ever since we introduced articles to Codidact, posts have been referred to with their post type. The URL to get to a question or answer would be /questions/12345, and to get to an article would be ...
