Is fixed. Blame nginx.
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...
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...
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...
This is by design — it gives the quotes a sort of speech-bubble type look. (Not exactly, admittedly, but any more detail requires ridiculous amounts of CSS...)
They don't. Linguistics is one site. Its site ID is 12. It has three categories - Q&A, Meta, and Resources - with IDs respectively of 36, 37, and 40. Each category has a tag set, which contai...
Fancy Heading This is technically already possible using HTML: just add an id attribute to your header tags: <h1 id="fancy-heading">Fancy Heading</h1> Going to /questions/123456#fancy-...
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.
This is fixed and rolling out with the next build.
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'...
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...
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...
[status-bydesign] In so far as there is a Markdown spec, this is part of it: you can't mix HTML and Markdown. If you're formatting using HTML tags, Markdown parsers will generally ignore Markdown ...
Some ideas: or or
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 ...
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 fixed this in the design framework - once the CDN's cache updates, you should see this start working properly.
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 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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
Yes they can. Just added, rolling out in the next build.
With today's deploy this is [status-completed]. We now display post scores as up/down splits instead of a total, and answers are sorted by a score calculated based on vote counts, instead of by a s...
