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 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 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 Date Display formatting

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...

Q&A Duplicate "Sign out" buttons on mobile

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...

Q&A The bottom left corner of the border around quoted text is not rounded.

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...)

Q&A Why do tags URL contain the ID of the site?

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...

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

Q&A Can we get a page with links to all of the top level posts from across the network as they are created?

Ideally, this would be done at codidact.com itself, but that's not possible right now. We'll have a look at doing something like this, but it'll be taking a back seat for now - other features are h...

Q&A What are the steps between community idea and community proposal?

An [idea] is for when you have an idea for a site but you don't have the community to go with it. The hope is that by posting it here, you find like-minded folks who will help you build the site. A...
