Q&A A way to prohibit creating certain tags.

Category settings include some tag settings: Required tags: a set of tags, one of which must be included in a post (this is how discussion, feature-request, bug, and support on meta work) ...

Q&A Copy Link pop up can be completely off screen

The challenge with making modals appear above if there's not room below is that they might then cover important content. If this happened to the Flag modal, for example, it might cover most of the...

Q&A Creating subscriptions with empty names breaks the UI of the accordion

If a subscription doesn't have a name, the code generates a default name on the fly to show in the list. These generated names are not stored anywhere and are not guaranteed to stay the same over ...

Q&A User profile page tabs separated from their connecting blue line

We've mitigated this problem by removing the right column from all of the profile sub-pages. Except on the main profile page (where a right column remains), this column is about the community or c...

Q&A How are site policies decided on Codidact?

The Policy and Legal sections in the Help Center are policies set by the providers of the network -- in this case, the Codidact Foundation. The Qpixel repository includes "stubs" for these pages f...

Q&A Submit same flag multiple times

When you submit a flag we don't refresh the page, and so when you flag again the flag modal doesn't "know" about your previous flag yet. After a refresh, you'll get the "you've previously flagged ...

Q&A What is the difference between the subdomain forum.codidact and the rest of the communities?

As noted in Mithical's answer, the forum was for early bootstrapping, before we had this network up and running. It used .org, not .com, to try to make that distinction a little clearer. After we...

Q&A Display post titles instead of the URL for internal links

A step toward this: if you choose "copy link" on a top-level post, you now have two options, the raw link and a Markdown version. The Markdown version uses the post title as the link text. So it'...

Q&A Trying to use Markdown formatting on detail-section labels causes unexpected centered alignment in preview

There are sometimes unfortunate differences in the preview and final rendering, due to having to use different libraries for client-side and server-side rendering. I don't know if there's anything...

Q&A Filters don't allow negative Min Score

We have removed the "needs author's attention" flag, which I believe addresses the remaining issues raised here. Marking status-complete; please let us know if we missed anything.

Q&A Could we have an alphabetic sort option for tags?

This is a good suggestion, and I thought "oh, just adding another button there -- that might be easy enough that even I can do it!". And then I realized there's something else we ought to address ...

Q&A No response when clicking on the title of a thread on a recently deleted post

I think we should match "interaction type". The person clicking on a thread title expects an in-page expansion, not a new page, so I think an in-page notification about the deletion is better than...
