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...
We've implemented one part of this (that seems to have consensus and no objections): the tags. I've updated the proposal guidelines, created the three "needs" tags, and retagged many proposals. (...
Articles can be made closable in configuration (does not require a code change), but it's a global, network-wide change, so we'd need to make sure that doesn't have negative consequences for any of...
I think what you might be looking for is "resolved" -- you want to indicate that a thread has been handled, but you want to leave the door open for feedback. I would expect a hypothetical "resolve...
From the help: filtering by category To filter by category, you will need to know the unique numeric id for that category. This can be found by looking at the url shown when you click to view a...
I went through the donation workflow, starting on Software, and donate/success is working for me now. I don't know if you hit something transient or if there's some other difference between us. (...
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 compl...
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...
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 a...
I'm not sure how intentional it is, but it's a known change to fix a related bug. Until recently, if you followed a direct link to an answer that wasn't on the first page of the post, that action ...
It looks like this has changed; I just saw this: I'm inferring that the ad is now sensitive to the type of post being linked; I'd like to confirm that with the developers before marking this sta...
You can now set a preference to disable autosaving. See the "preferences" tab on your profile.
We've added a "preferences" tab to the user profile. There are global (network-wide) and per-community preferences. We've made keyboard shortcuts a global preference. We don't yet have "global, ...
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 ...
It appears that new answers are no longer being reported as new activity on the question list and bumping questions. Here's an annotated screenshot: https://meta.codidact.com/posts/280005 shows...
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...
