I'm not seeing the tag on the post or in the editor. Are you still? If so, do you also see it in a different browser or incognito window? (I'm wondering if something is being too-heavily cached.) (more) |

Reactions are signed, not anonymous (unlike votes). Does that make a difference? (I'm not arguing either way, just probing.) (more) |

About upper case: we didn't think to disallow it, and then somebody used it for a proper name. I think there was some discussion somewhere after that, but inconclusive. We should probably discuss making tags case-preserving but case-insensitive, to prevent "Tag" and "tag" coexisting in the same tag... (more) |

A: Response to Monica Cellio's cross posts — "How can we grow this community"? I'm sorry if I didn't make the purpose of these posts clear enough. We are asking each individual community to talk about those communities. We're not looking for general suggestions like "use Reddit"; that's not actionable. But if, say, there's a particular subreddit that is well-aligned with one... (more) |

Just to answer a question in this post: no, admins don't have an interface for that either. If a deleted post is getting in the way (perhaps because it's long), the best thing to do would be to edit it. The original is still available in the history should anybody need to review it, but the deleted... (more) |

The question title asks how to promote on Reddit, so I was expecting a question about best practices, avoiding unwanted promotions, etc. The question body instead asks about specific communities on Reddit that might overlap with ours. Which do you mean to ask? (I think the question in the title is... (more) |

A: Ability to hide / ignore tags Proposal: - If a question has at least one tag that you've marked as a favorite, it's highlighted (as now). - If a question has at least one tag that you've marked as ignore, it's de-emphasized somehow (grayed out or similar). - If both conditions apply, the question gets no special styling (th...

Someone suggested a solution and I believe will submit a PR, so we should be able to fix this. (I don't understand the issue deeply; I'm the messenger, not the programmer. :-) ) (more) |

A: Stop inserting space after question titles This is one of those annoying things that sounds like it should be easy to fix, but isn't. There's more explanation in the GitHub issue, but the view is picking up the whitespace in the source code that is required to keep that code legible. It's an annoyance, but we think living with it is better ... (more) |

A: Renaming a tag rewrites history I brought this one up internally and we all agree that yes, it's confusing. Unfortunately, it's also a complicated change; we don't track tag history now, and adding that would make the code complex in several places, so we're not going to try to do that now. I apologize for the confusion that tag ... (more) |

A few small changes, mostly about moderation and curation The latest update includes a few small changes of possible general interest: - Moderators can now escalate flags to the admin team. If you have a flag that requires our attention, or if you want to recuse yourself and you don't have a fellow moderator to ask for help from, or if you need some hel... (more) |

Admins can now delete tags. Mods can escalate a request to admins. (Removing a tag involves touching a bunch of places in the database, because it's "as if it never existed", so admin-only for now at least.) (more) |

The last part is done now; if you hover over a tag that doesn't have a short description, you see "no description yet". (more) |

This was done a while ago but I missed this update. If there is a short description, it shows on hover. What is missing, and I hope to improve, is that if there *isn't* a short description, there's no hover text at all. I think it would be better to show something like "no description yet" so it do...

Github issues: https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/719, https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/720. I haven't proposed auto-clean first; I think first we need to enable deleting and then have a way to be alerted that there are unused tags (and which they are), so communities can clean them ...

I'd like both -- some sort of auto-cleaning, and also better tools for mods to manage this. We haven't gotten to it yet, but I'll make sure we have issues tracking these (might exist already; will check and create if not). (more) |

A: Notification dropdown doesn't consistently change items from "unread" to "read" This is (newly) happening for me today, using Firefox 93.0 on Windows 10. I haven't been using Codidact a lot on this machine lately, but I have used it in recent weeks without seeing this problem. A few days ago I updated Firefox to try to reproduce a different bug. I do not know if these facts a... (more) |

A: How can tags be deleted? This is a gap we need to address, yes. There's another way to get rid of them that's a little hacky: you can merge the bad tag into another one. If there's an obvious target (like there were two tags for the same thing but one was misspelled) I would merge into the correct one. If there's no obvio... (more) |

Just saw your update. Weird! I had to use my work computer to try this on Windows and I don't control the DNS there, so I can't exactly replicate your situation, sorry. (more) |

I just tried, also using Firefox 93.0 on Windows (Win 10, if it matters), and it worked for me. Is it still failing for you? (more) |

That's one possibility. If it also has a favorite tag, though, the person might want to see it. So it seems like we need to choose one of:
1. Favorite overrides ignored (you see it as a favorite)
2. Ignored overrides favorite (you don't see it or it's grayed out)
3. Neither applies and you see ... (more) |

I don't think there's a specific reason we didn't, other than that no one was asking about it at the time. What should happen if a question has both a tag you list as a favorite and one you ignore? (more) |

We definitely want to have some indication of tag-based domain knowledge, whether that's badges or something else. (One idea would be that, on answers to questions, the usercard could indicate this state for applicable tags on that question -- e.g. this is a C++ question, so right there under the an... (more) |

Yeah, somebody's already working on adding a donation button or link to the .org page, I'm pretty sure. (Separate repo, because the foundation is not the network though there's a ton of overlap.) (more) |

That's a good thought. Now that we've got something in place at all, we can look into adding recurring donations. I hadn't thought of that. (more) |

@#8045 I think the first comment was about .com, not .org (.com = list of communities). Or `donate.codidact.com` sounds like a good approach too. Or if all of this is too much hassle, we can presumably massage the wording on the page to be clear that you're supporting the whole project and not just... (more) |

A: Reacting without signing in error The "react" control is now not shown if a user is not logged in. Vote buttons still are; they provide context for the score and, further, voting buttons are widespread on the Internet and people are used to them not working if not signed in, so this should not be surprising here.
