Yes, it's still a concern. Thanks for offering to help! I've asked a developer with access to the info to get in touch with you (so the two of you can decide together what works best for sharing info and coordinating). (more) |

@#53492 it looks like that lets us auto-link from GH to Meta (etc). We're already doing that (though with actual links, not auto-links), but what we're missing is going the other direction. If I link to a meta post from a GitHub issue, it'd be great if something could be added to the meta post (com... (more) |

Yeah, when I suggested archiving as an option, the primary use case I had in mind was "support edit history". I need to think more about the primary question here, which is why I haven't responded to that yet. (more) |

A: Allow using <kbd> in the website (Unsuccessful test. Oh well; I thought it was fixed but not yet I guess.) -- This is regular text. This is kbd text. This is regular text with a kbd element within. > This is a quote with kbd text. These all work in the preview now; let's see what happens when I submit. (more) |

A: Is the Codidact community the same as Stack Overflow? Welcome! We certainly aim to be better. From the platform side, serving the community (not stockholders) is one of our primary goals, really our reason to exist. We expect everybody to be civil and of course don't tolerate things like personal attacks and harassment. Each community is a little ... (more) |

I didn't know we limited width (and can't find where we do but I am not fluent in CSS). I thought it was just that we wouldn't overflow the space allocated to the post, which is proportional I thought. (more) |

I tested this on Android with Chrome 99.0 on your linked example and also [this post](https://christianity.codidact.com/posts/286016) and I see the footnote number. Are they still missing for you? Wondering if this is an OS difference or something else. Thanks. (more) |

A: How can I see a list of all my deleted questions? You can see your own deleted questions if you have the URLs, but we haven't yet implemented a way for you to see those links in the UI (like with a "deleted" tab or filter on your profile). I've emailed you a list of the URLs of your deleted questions for the community you asked about. (more) |

Help wanted: investigating server errors We've had several bug reports here on Meta about server 500 errors, and we know that these can deter participation. That's bad at any time but especially when we are trying to grow. We want to do better. So far, our developers with database access have been looking these up when there's a bug re... (more) |

Somebody with database access can check that error code, yes. Thanks for the report.
Your reputation is correct; it shows as 11 (currently) on your profile. Here on Meta, reputation doesn't show in the "usercard"; those stats are number of top-level posts, number of answers, net votes, and edits.... (more) |

I think guest posting would have to be accompanied by some sort of pre-publication community review, else it would be too easy to flood the site with spam or trolling. That doesn't mean "no"; it means it's something we have to figure out how to implement. (more) |

@#53280 sorry for any confusion I've caused. We welcome bug reports and feature requests on Meta (especially ones that benefit from community discussion). Some people directly report bugs on Github and that's fine too. We create Github issues for bugs reported on Meta (including per-community meta... (more) |

I meant ranking answers under the question, yes. Right now there are three actions somebody can take to affect that: vote up, vote down, don't vote. People who can't downvote just won't vote, which means you can't sort the merely-ok answers above the actively-wrong ones.
Tying votes to a comment r... (more) |

Without downvotes, how would you sort answers? In particular, how would you support the "meh" and wrong answers, all of which would have zero upvotes but with variable quality? (more) |

A: What are the bus factors of Codidact? > Software: QPixel is publicly available so that sounds good but for the Codidact flavor of QPixel additional parts must be assembled to create the software this network runs on. How many persons know how to do that? Is it written down anywhere? We have an operations manual of sorts in a private w... (more) |

This is an important question, thanks. Rather than a bunch of fragmentary answers, I'm working with the people who know various parts of this so we can post one answer that covers all the areas you ask about. A delay means we're organizing this across timezones, not that we're ignoring you. (more) |

The root cause of the various mismatches between the preview and the final rendered text is the different libraries used on the frontend and backend. I don't know enough to be able to say how hard it is to fix that, but I'm guessing there's something that makes it hard since this keeps coming up and... (more) |

@#36363 I've approved a suggested edit that focuses the question on the points you brought up. I'm leaving this comment here so you'll know how that edit got approved, in case you object (but I hope you won't, as I think it will lead to a more productive discussion of the issue you've raised).

This looks like a duplicate of https://meta.codidact.com/posts/284472. Could you post your proposed solution here as an answer there? Thanks. (There's another answer with a time-based+score-based system you might be interested in, too.) (more) |

@#54706 one could imagine a later version where an "add this to my list" control is available on your posts when browsing, which would make it easier to manage. People can create this in the "about" space now -- it supports all the same Markdown that posts do -- but you have to build it yourself. B... (more) |

A: Request for a Member Story feature which helps to highlight a Codidact member's topic expertise The "about" section of your profile, as noted in another answer, provides a place to put whatever content you like, including a proto-CV if you choose. But I think there's a more general idea here that I'd like to explore: a way to highlight particular posts, regardless of their scores or the commun... (more) |

I think you mean something more curated than automated, right? Could you say something more about what this might look like on Codidact? For example, are you thinking of a CV like on SO, or something more like "posts I made that I want to highlight"? Per-community, or network-wide? (We're plannin... (more) |

Spaces in tags would likely lead to confusion in the editor -- when you type a space and there's no match, is that the end of a proposed new tag or a space in the middle of an existing or new tag? I think our intent was to not allow them and this is a bug. (more) |

@#8176 an important (IMO) difference is that "Not Programming Related" was treated as a site unto itself, while the incubator would be more of a holding pen and sandbox. I'm imagining a clear explanation at the top (plus a notice like what you see on Meta when not logged in), and maybe excluding it ... (more) |

@#8176 I was thinking of using the incubator to support proposals. (Area 51 has many problems; can we do better?) The incubator will need to be more proactive in closing stuff that couldn't work anywhere, and about deleting closed questions that don't get fixed. Part of my idea with "no rep" was t... (more) |

A: Incubator (takes all questions that aren't on-topic anywhere else) community I'm speaking only for myself (not the team) and with insufficient caffeine. I might refine this idea later. :-) We know we need to improve our community-proposal process, particularly in the area of scope and sample questions. Sometimes the only way to show a topic or type of question is to actu... (more) |

This was fixed somewhere along the way; I just tested with a new user and can't see the close and delete links. (You can see them on your *own* posts, but that's because you can do those things there.) (more) |
