Comment Post #282026 We want to add better filtering, including a way to define and save your own filters. We aren't there yet, but I wonder if we could at least make search support `answers:#`, so you could search for unanswered or just one answer or whatever you like.

Comment Post #282005 We have plans to allow refining the search on a particular community to either just this category or all categories. It seems reasonable to also allow going in the other direction (all communities, not just this one). All of this still needs some UX design, but let's consider it when we do the othe...

Comment Post #281137 @Moshi sorry about the non-ping (didn't know that). Here's the [GitHub issue](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/326).

Answer A: Battery Science & Engineering
Speaking for myself, not for the team. This sounds like a very specialized topic. If there's a strong community around that specialized interest, that can work fine -- several sites on SE are also pretty specialized. (I mean c'mon, 20 blockchain sites instead of one?) While existing communities...

Comment Post #281983 I don't know what's most common; people use Twitter and mailing lists and Facebook and wherever else to attract people who aren't already here, too. Improving how *Codidact* treats *Codidact links* is a good idea; if the renderer automatically generated the Markdown you're looking for that would add...

Answer A: Improving the "copy link" button
"Copy Link" is on top-level posts for consistency with answers. On an answer the URL takes you straight to that answer, which isn't what would be in your URL bar. (I think the work on the threaded-comments branch will add comment links, too -- same idea.) Your proposal works smoothly if where yo...

Article Newsletter #7 (May 2021)
Hello again from the Codidact team! We're here with another progress report. Communities Our communities continue to grow, some more slowly and some more quickly. On many of them we're seeing questions at a variety of expertise levels, which is great! If you can't answer that complex special...

Comment Post #281910 @Istiak‭ I think it's a case we just didn't consider. When logged out we could still show the description (what it is, what you need to do to earn it), without the user-specific progress.

Comment Post #281910 Hmm, yeah, that's not the behavior I expected either. I guess it's because of the "so-and-so has/you have earned this ability" bit, but I hope we can just skip that if there's no specific user being queried or logged in. Thanks for the report.

Answer A: Why do we have the "Participate Everywhere" ability when we haven't yet done anything?
Bootstrapping. Our communities are still small, so after we rolled out the abilities system we decided to put all our communities in "new community" mode, which lets everyone start with Participate Everywhere. Moderators can suspend a specific ability for a user if it's being misused, either for a ...

Comment Post #281907 That's a bug, yes. Answer state should derive from the state of the question (not true now, known issue), but in any case the attribution of the deletion shouldn't change. Thanks for the report.

Answer A: How are the different site header colors picked? Can the community request a color change?
There's a list of about a dozen colors that are available. The choices are largely arbitrary. We want the logo and color to not clash (those can be determined in either order), and since we don't yet have banner art to distinguish communities from each other visually, just logos, we want some varie...

Comment Post #281898 Why do you need it on Physics? Do you want to *create* content with CC 3.0 there? If so, please make a request on Physics meta and we can add it there. I'm still not sure why you want it, but you can explain it there. We don't need 3.0 here to support using 3.0 content from elsewhere; we just nee...

Answer A: CC BY-SA 3.0 license doesn't show
The imported post is CC BY-SA 3.0 because that's how the source (Stack Exchange) licensed it. That notice reports a license. The list of licenses you can choose when posting here is unrelated. That list is configurable (per-community), so if people want 3.0 to be an option we can add it. So far...

Comment Post #281893 And if there's a larger issue about a particular question, one that requires more discussion, raising a question on the community's meta is a good next step. (That will also be more visible.) Usually if a closure is controversial it's because something about the community's scope or policies isn't ...

Answer A: Why isn't there a "contact us" button in the footer of this website?
You're right, and that's been on our to-do list for a while, sorry. You can send email to support@codidact.com. We have a support portal under development; email actually flows into that now and the back end works, but I think you need to create an account on that platform and we'd rather wire that...

Answer A: send mail for new community
Apart from the email question, which as Art said can be controversial, we want to have a better way to notify people who expressed interest when a new community launches. We'd need to write a whole new "proposals" framework to do that right, which is a lot of work and we have higher-priority tasks r...

Comment Post #281781 @celtschk‭ agreed; that's important feedback that is currently missing. We plan to add information about voting activity (time-based) to the user profile, filling the same niche as SE's reputation tab, because it's important to know which posts are getting attention. Once we have that we can figure...

Comment Post #281761 This is an interesting idea; a creative community could build a different *kind* of Q&A community, with other types of content being first-class elements alongside it.

Comment Post #281717 I guess that list is fed by the same JSON that feeds the list on codidact.com, which we haven't updated yet. They're in the site switcher and the dashboard, so I guess those get their info directly from the database. Thanks for letting me know.

Answer A: I can't post a comment to an answer ; jquery errors appear in (Chrome) browser console
We believe this has been fixed by some other changes made since you reported this. I marked it status-completed based on that, not because I can point to a code change. If you see this again, please let us know.

Answer A: How should we approach our (non-developer) software community proposals?
We have just launched Linux Systems and Power Users. Both communities have some outstanding scope issues from their proposals, but that's fine: there's enough of a baseline to get started, and the communities can continue to work out details on their community metas. Welcome aboard everyone. We'...
