A: Can't click notification icon The notifications bug is known and we're working on a fix. (It has to be made in one repo, propagated to another via `npm`, and then of course deployed. I think we're waiting for the `npm` step at the moment.) The bug happens if you click directly on the number or text, but if you click in the whi... (more) |

Huh -- I never noticed that @#53890! Or if I did, it was a long time ago and I then forgot about it. Thanks for pointing it out. Since the page already *exists*, I think we should find ways to make it more prominent. Making it another section on the profile, for yourself only (like preferences, e... (more) |

This is a [known bug](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/287466) with a workaround: click in the white area below the number/text instead of directly on the icons. It's aggravating and we have a fix in process.
I didn't close this as a duplicate because of the part at the end. We don't have another ... (more) |

That's a good point. I've submitted a [PR](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/pull/929) to change this. For the last label, I went with "confirm new password" to lead with the imperative verb; I'm told this is a little easier for people to understand if English isn't their first language and might ...

@#53890 I think you're on to something. The [database schema](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/blob/develop/db/schema.rb#L408) says that the posts table has columns for both "body" and "body_markdown". I'm guessing that we save the HTML to speed up rendering, but I'm not sure. If so, it would ma... (more) |

A: Comment flagging is hidden from inexperienced users We definitely want this to be possible from the in-page view, without clicking through to the thread. This issue is even on the roadmap we laid out at the beginning of the year -- it's important. I thought this would be easy but it turns out there are some complications in the code. I was just ...

@#53196 thanks for letting me know. I remember threads just plain disappearing when the feature first showed up, but maybe I just didn't know where to look for them. I've avoided threads since then because of that. (more) |

A: Creating new Discord channels We can't grant the ability broadly without also granting destructive abilities, as another answer says. If any community wants more channels under its section, admins can create them -- just let us know. I haven't used Discord threads much, but when they first showed up, threads would be auto-del...

A: Comments count includes deleted comments, which it shouldn't We fixed the inconsistency a different way. Instead of computing the numbers for all threads at page-load time, we still report the full number of comments, but when you expand the comment thread you see that there are deleted ones, like this: "skipping 3 deleted comments" before the one visible ...

Thanks for the report. We did have this issue before and it was [fixed](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/192), but it looks like something has broken it again. (more) |

A: Where do meta questions about the Codidact Collab site belong? Oh sorry; I'll fix that description. By "help using the sites" I think we meant issues specific to this network. You can go ahead and ask Collab meta questions on Collab; it's a small community and I don't want to make people go to a different category for what's likely to be a very small number of... (more) |

@#53890 we deploy from `develop`, but after a change gets made in co-design it then needs to propagate to qpixel and then be deployed, and I'm not sure where that stands.
@ArtOfCode tonight I noticed that this bug *doesn't* occur with the mod menu; I clicked on the word "mod" rather than under it ... (more) |

Wow, that's weird. Thanks for the report.
I don't know if this is related, but I've sometimes noticed, only on Meta, that (on desktop at ~1200px) the logo gets very large and flushing my browser cache fixes it. I've never noticed this on any other community. So first thing for us to check is wh... (more) |

I thought we had a "why Codidact when SO exists?" question; maybe we do and I'm failing to find it. Meanwhile, here are some related non-duplicates: [The Codidact Vision](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/276296) (jump down to "Codidact is not an SE clone"), [How does Codidact avoid repeating Stack Ex...

Sorry about the ambiguity; I've edited. We had a design idea for a much more dynamic and interactive preview; we haven't done that yet, but figured we could at least add the static post previews. They're configurable; if a community wants them to be shorter (or gone), we can do that. Best place fo... (more) |

A: Category new activity indicators reset after release I believe this was a glitch related to this particular upgrade, and not upgrades in general. Or, at least, we haven't seen this in the past. We're not sure what caused it yet and will continue to investigate. I'm sorry for the disruption (I was surprised by all the silver dots too). (more) |

I agree that's a problem (and from another comment thread, it looks like a dev knows how to fix it). The problem happens if you click on the icon, but if you click in the whitespace below it, the control works (shows you the inbox, communities, etc). I think from your post that you've already figur... (more) |
