Q&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!

Q&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...

Q&A How to do superscript markup?

As aCVn has already correctly said, those tags get stripped by the server when it's rendering post markdown. I'm currently working on changing the Markdown rendering systems over to gems that supp...

Q&A How do I notify users with a space in their username via comments?

Simply omit the space, and ping @UserName. I'm not 100% sure whether having characters after it breaks the notification, but I tend to avoid it to be on the safe side. Comments are due for an overh...

Q&A MathJax in profiles displays differently depending on community

I'm not sure there's a lot we can do about this, other than potentially adding a warning if MathJax is enabled. It's hard to reliably detect MathJax in a post, and even harder to reliably remove it...

Q&A Can there be some sort of way to save your progress when asking/answering questions?

This is [status-completed] and will be deployed soon. We use Redis to save drafts, since we already use it for other things. Drafts are kept for 7 days; if the post is edited after you start editin...

Q&A Signing in should sign you in on all sites

This is [status-completed]. Signing in on one site signs you in across the network; likewise, signing out signs you out everywhere. This doesn't preclude the use of multiple accounts, you just can'...

Q&A Lost Reputation

Apparently there was a bug in the rep recalc script. Still not entirely sure why, but I've solved it and re-run the script. Rep counts should be correct now.

Q&A How can I effortlessly spawn new, unused URLs to the same question on Codidact?

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...

Q&A Images fail to load when previewed or saved

Q&A A letter didn't bold in suggested edit page

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...

Q&A Why isn't the text editor in the same font as what posts are?

Nothing earth-shattering, really, just what made sense to me. Markdown is technically a markup language, which feels more correct to me in a monospace font. (Plus I also find monospace easier to re...

Q&A Hot Posts link to Blog leads to 404

Looks like we were assuming everything in the hot posts list was a question. I've changed it to use a post-type-aware helper now; this should be fixed, pending deploy.

Q&A No favicon appears on main site (codidact.com)

The codebase for codidact.com is not the same as the software that runs the Q&A sites, so there are a few disparities like this one. I've just added the icon there too, you should see it appear...
