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 Cloudflare breaks typing tag names (results in HTTP 403, ultimately preventing posting questions) when accessing Codidact over Tor

So this isn't specific to Tor. Cloudflare scans all incoming requests and analyses their risk; if they suspect the request could be suspicious then they'll issue a challenge page, like the one you'...

Q&A Could we have a "Close as outdated" close reason?

Sure. I've added the reason here on Meta; we'll see how it goes. If it turns out to be more widely useful we can look at getting it added to community seeds and existing communities.

Q&A How can I remove a tag?

There is no way to delete a tag as such at the moment. You can, however, merge a redundant tag into its equivalent (in this case, merging angular-2+ into angular would work). The tag being merged w...

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 A vote in the meta category for the EE site reflected in my reputation. Is that a bug?

All categories are treated equally; voting in any category affects reputation. This is different to how it works on Stack Exchange, but that's just one of those differences - neither approach is n...

Q&A Subscriptions settings don't sync between sites (even though everything else does)

There's a difference: your user account & profile is network-wide, whereas your email subscriptions are per-site. I can see the use of having a single network-wide page to manage your emails, b...

Q&A Show User's Vote on List of Posts

Having had a look into this, the cost of doing this in terms of database and page load time is prohibitive. Perhaps it's doable with some caching here and there, but at that point we're investing w...

Q&A Should [status-completed] be used before the changes are live?

[status-completed] gets added once the code has been written, reviewed, and merged - i.e. is ready to deploy. Once [status-completed] has been added to a post, you can assume it'll be deployed in t...

Q&A Does Codidact want to silence its users as SE does?

Let's not be disingenuous, eh? The rule is, and has always been, that anyone is welcome to post here as long as they're in line with the Code of Conduct, which is short, simple, and to the point. H...

Q&A All of my own SE sources questions and answers give me 500 errors

Looks like user IDs didn't get changed over properly - not quite sure why, but I'll have a poke at it. I've fixed it manually for now.

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 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...
