Completed pending deploy: we'll only allow web-safe image types (PNG, JPEG, GIF). I looked at automatically converting other image types, but it's frustratingly difficult in our current version of ...
That field is a HTML file input field (<input type="file" />). How it renders, beyond very basic styling, is entirely down to your browser, and not something web developers have any control o...
It's not the network sign-in that's created accounts for you - it's visiting the sites. When you visit a site and are signed in elsewhere, an profile is created for you on that site. So, with netwo...
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...
And here I was thinking I'd caught the edge cases on this one... Fixed, deploying Soon (tm).
This should now be completed and deployed.

I'm... surprised nobody noticed this earlier. I've added the license picker to the answer form now, pending deploy. Changing a license after a post has been created is [status-declined] for now at ...
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...
I've had some thoughts about this, which I'll try to coalesce into something resembling an answer. Codidact is growing, but we're still a small project. To help us grow, we're looking to build act...
This is [status-bydesign] for security reasons. The sign out request uses an HTTP DELETE request to avoid an attack called CSRF. Clicking a link, by default, uses a GET request. The library that ha...
There is a link in the footer to the privacy policy. The TL;DR is that: We only use your data when necessary We use a self-hosted solution for analytics so your data doesn't leave our servers ...
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...
This should be fixed and rolling out with the next build.
This one is going to have to be [status-declined] as it is, but there's some other adjustments we can make that might solve the problems. Making the main help page editable is more difficult than i...
In a URL of https://yoursite.codidact.com/help/topic, only the topic part is the slug. I've added some inline help to the form you use to create a help page, which will go live with the next build.
Markdown does have a standard these days - CommonMark. We generally support anything that's in the CommonMark specification, plus some other useful bits. If you hover over the buttons in the toolb...
Dark theme is something I'd like to do, but right now it has to take a back seat to developing the features that we want to have. Creating and maintaining a dark theme is a significant amount of wo...
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...
This is most likely something to do with a data import that's running right at the moment and taking up a lot of database time. Ideally we'd be able to switch the sites into read-only mode, but we ...
Not right now. You'll currently get notifications for similar things as you do on Stack Exchange: Comments on your posts (questions or answers) You were mentioned in a comment New answers to you...
Should be completed with the next deploy - the entry's updated value will now reflect the post's last activity, including any new answers, and the feed should be ordered by activity.
