Q&A Why does the title come after the body when writing a question?

I made that design decision. If it doesn't work we can of course change it, but the reasoning is pretty much what @pnuts said in another answer. On other sites I've seen a lot of bad titles, ones...

Q&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...

Q&A Threaded comments are here!

Feature request: timestamps. Ok, I admit I can be a little obsessive. Plus, if I'm a moderator, I should try to stay on top of things that are happening on my community. This includes new commen...

Q&A Notification on edits to voted post

That could get noisy if it were the default behavior. But maybe we should consider, instead, an option where you can choose to be notified of new activity on a specific post. We already have an o...

Q&A Let moderators grant abilities.

You can. On the user's profile, click "Moderator tools" and then choose "privileges" from there. (I'm sorry about the unclear name there.) This takes you to a page where you can grant or suspe...

Q&A How do I suggest edits to the tag wiki?

It's been a while since you asked this and, sadly, we still haven't implemented suggested edits for tag pages so there would be a way to gain approved suggested edits. I agree it's frustrating. M...

Q&A Request for a Member Story feature which helps to highlight a Codidact member's topic expertise

The "about" section of your profile, as noted in another answer, provides a place to put whatever content you like, including a proto-CV if you choose. But I think there's a more general idea here...

Q&A Is gaining rep based on SE content ok?

Q&A Allow a user to edit a threaded comment's title after the threaded comment has been created

I think it's reasonable for the person who created the thread to be able to edit the title so long as the only comments are from that user. As soon as there's a comment from someone else, though, ...

Q&A What is the 'lottery' button for?

"Lottery" is a random set of 50 questions. It's a way to be reminded of older posts that have dropped off the front page. I agree with the suggestion that "Random" would be a better label; we did...

Q&A Why is there a rep system in Codidact?

We didn't set out to have a reputation stat, but because we started by adapting code that had it, we started out that way. When we brought up removing it, a few people objected strongly. (See, fo...

Q&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 ...
