Welcome to Codidact Meta!
Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.

Status completed: title length, body length, custom flags. -- Minimum title and body length are configurable per category. I'll lower the body length here on Meta; if other communities want to l...
I've been thinking about abilities again lately (and for a while), because they're too hard to earn but just tweaking the Wilson numbers won't fix it. The fundamental problem is that a single nega...
We've reworked the footer, including removing the long list of links to individual communities. The footer has an "Our Communities" link that now goes to the dashboard instead of codidact.com (whi...
There is no one, over-arching rule across the network. Communities are self-governing (within the limits of what we can host). I agree with this answer. Personally, I think duplicates should be ...
Not currently, but we are tracking an issue to allow following a post, which would include new answers (if you follow a question) and also post edits and other things. I don't know when we'll get ...
Here on Meta, if I edit my preferences to set a favorite tag, the tag is highlighted in yellow like this: However, on Proposals, it's not working. Here's the setting (I picked a tag at random t...
It's been a long time since this question was asked, and in the meantime there have been lots of changes to the platform. It turns out we can do most of what you're asking for now, although some k...
I am not able to reproduce this. I visited the "create post" page with NoScript turned on and this is what I see: Can you say more about where you saw codidact.org?
Sometimes a brain dump is a bunch of questions and answers, and in that case (as suggested in another answer) it's best to do the "dump + refine" step separately and post when ready. That way peop...
The Site Proposals category is only shown to logged-in users, the text at the top points to the new proposals site, the "post" button says "not here" and refers to the new site, and if you try to p...
When you start to flag a post that you have active flags on already, you now see something like this:
The presence of an answer already blocks deletion (except by moderators, who can override this). Allowing the presence of a comment to prevent deletion would be too easy to abuse, as pointed out i...
This is a bug in the front end (fix is under review now), but despite the incorrectly-shown message, you can in fact approve edits to your own posts. The buttons are active and they work. We're s...
I want to supplement Mithical's answer, with which I agree. Broadly speaking, Codidact has three major pieces, all essential: its communities, without which none of the rest of this would matte...
This happens because the preview is being rendered client-side by a JavaScript library, while the actual post is being rendered server-side using a Rails library. I've been told it's not feasible ...
Logo is now right: That screenshot is from Meta (I included part of the "hot" list as evidence). Unfortunately, the URL that's being generated is still wrong, so clicking will probably produce ...
Tentative characterization of the bug: this happens when a user who does not have the Edit ability makes a suggested edit and that suggestion is approved. Look at the edit history on this question...
There is now a new button, which inserts the following markdown for you to populate and expand: | Title1 | Title2 | |- | - | | row1_1 | row1_2 |
The Permalink control now allows you to copy a working URL for the post through the usual browser affordance (right-click + "copy URL" on desktop browsers, long-press on touch interfaces). Oddly, ...
Let's talk about design. Clearly we wouldn't want to allow any number of links, because having a thousand links would break the layout in some way. Unless we put it behind a "show more" control of...
Various things, not all of them understood, affect the accuracy of the reported reputation number. For example, sometimes a post is deleted or undeleted but the reputation adjustments don't get ma...
The "recent deletions" link under mod tools is consistently returning a 500 server error for me. One reference: 2ba998b1-84b1-4675-aeb8-bebcf3465b5f I've tried this on two sites. It's been a few ...
One thing that's hard for us to gauge, and is important for a new community to get off the ground, is level of interest. People might upvote a proposal out of interest ("I'd read that") or because...
By queues I assume you mean review queues like on SE. We haven't designed anything like that yet, though we've discussed the need specifically for a way to see pending suggested edits. (A lot of ...
We have a design for this; it's just not implemented yet. The user profile will show selectors (tabs) for each category plus "all" (the default). In the "all" view, posts will be labeled by categ...
