@luap42 I meant to imply that with the "all sites", but yes, it's probably a good idea to call out specifically. It did come as a slight surprise to me. (more) |

A: Claiming posts sourced from StackExchange I'm surprised that we don't seem to already have a Meta question about this specifically. You claim your posts by linking your Codidact account with your Stack Exchange account. To do that, click on your avatar in the top bar to go to your profile, then the "Edit" tab, and then look under the "Lin... (more) |

@PeterCooperJr. That's definitely *possible* in some sense, but it would also likely be fairly heavyweight. I get the feeling that @celtschk's suggestion of a toggle switch might work reasonably well. (more) |

| Question | — |
What does "post positive reception" mean in the context of abilities? There is reference to "positive reception rate" for posts in the discussion on how to earn some abilities, for example the Vote on Holds ability. What exactly does "positive reception" mean in this context? Does it, for example, mean any upvotes? More upvotes than downvotes? No downvotes? Greater ... (more) |

I realize that everyone involved is basically doing this in their spare time, but seeing that at least votes are still missing, could we have an update on the progress of the data recovery? Are we looking at days, weeks, months before everything is back in place? Losing data always looks bad... (more) |

A: Should users without the ability to review suggested edits see the 'suggested edit pending...' text if they cannot see the diff? > Should I be able to see the suggested edit? I would suggest not. It's better to interact with the post in its current state, whatever that is; doing so makes it much clearer after the fact what you were, in fact, looking at. > I would say: either show the suggested edit, or do not show anyt...

A: Future planning: what user preferences would be useful? Sort posts in one's own profile by score or age The profile main page includes a selection of posts (currently top 15 by score), which highlights contributions by that user. It would be nice if it was possible to select whether to show, say, the top 15 by score or the most recent 15 posts. The ... (more) |

Why not just, below the list of earned abilities, a link to "see all abilities" or some such? I doubt that making one word in a few-words heading a link is going to be particularly obvious. (more) |

@MonicaCellio https://web.archive.org/web/20201128085444/https://meta.codidact.com/categories/10 suggests that it might have been *Factual History* and *Defining and Defeating Tyranny*. Does that sound reasonable? (more) |

Here's another: votes are missing at least on all answers to [*Bit-rate vs Baud-rate* on Electrical Engineering](https://electrical.codidact.com/questions/279484). IIRC the tallies were +3/-0, +1/-0 and +1/-0, but they are currently +1/-0, +0/-0 and +0/-0. (Edited to add a link to some [corroborating... (more) |

With abilities here, where did my Software Development question (posted Saturday 13:58 UTC) go? I recently posted a question on Software Development, How can I write an egrep (grep -E) regexp that matches lines containing two stanzas in arbitrary order? (Internet Archive copy). (Addendum: it's now back, under a different post ID.) It seems to have disappeared off the face of the Earth -- or ... (more) |

@FoggyFinder Unfortunately, for a brief while, the redirection was done as a permanent redirect instead of as a temporary redirect. This was fixed pretty quickly by the team, but permanent redirects are allowed (and encouraged) to be cached in various ways by the browser. Clear the browser cache, che... (more) |

User posts list "Age" button appears unselected in sort-by-age view At the top of the complete list of posts for a user (accessible through the user's profile) there are two sort buttons, "Score" and "Age". When sorting by "score" is selected, the "Score" button has a gray background and the "Age" button has a white background. This seems to be meant to indicate t... (more) |

Cloudflare breaks typing tag names (results in HTTP 403, ultimately preventing posting questions) when accessing Codidact over Tor Someone at Cloudflare doesn't particularly like Tor. And because Codidact is apparently hosted behind Cloudflare, that means that by extension, Codidact is at least moderately anti-Tor in practice, if not in intention. I've had occasional issues with things like loading more comments where, instea... (more) |

| Question | — |
URLs in category feed should match URLs on category front page The category questions list page (including each site's front page) uses the shorter URL paths, such as `/q/1234`, to link to posts (usually questions, but sometimes articles). However, the category RSS (actually Atom) feed uses the longer version, such as `/questions/1234`, for the same purpose. ... (more) |

It's not an *exact* duplicate, but (a) I'm almost certain this isn't user-configurable at present, (b) the "site default" and "category default" can be changed by an administrator, but that applies to all users; and (c) I'm closing this as a duplicate of my post where I suggest adding such a user pre...

@Lundin **Thank you!** That doesn't solve the problem, and I still think this needs to be fixed, but only opening the dropdown from the index page does seem to at least be a solid workaround. (more) |

A: Importing StackExchange dumps We've tried something pretty much like that. Specifically, both Writing Codidact and Scientific Speculation Codidact were seeded with content from Writing SE and Worldbuilding SE, respectively. (The former with what essentially amounted to a full copy; the latter with a subset of posts.) It sou... (more) |

@Mithical That, too. I considered that a subpoint of the "people want a break with the name they've been using" point, but it's a good example so I added an explicit mention of that case. (more) |
