| Question | — |
Tags shown on a question can differ from tags shown when editing that question I noticed that How can I shorten a piece of writing without losing its original essence? on Writing Codidact appeared to be tagged writing-instruments, but the question does not relate to writing instruments (pens, pencils, computers, typewriters, ...). So I figured I would remove that tag. Howeve... (more) |

I agree that this would probably be more usable with a single-column format. Still, nice! (more) |

I would even like to suggest that we should have something similar to https://math.meta.stackexchange.com/q/5020 here. That's a *hugely* useful reference not just for Mathjax but for LaTeX in general. (more) |

@ArtOfCode I don't think such a list needs to update in real time. Tag relationships probably wouldn't be changed all that often, so to batch-generate the data or even the whole page for something like this should be workable. O'Reilly's *SQL Cookbook* has a recipe that comes awful close to doing wha... (more) |

Post action links that cannot be used should be hidden When I'm signed in, I see a set of post action links such as the following (this is from a question): > Permalink | History | Suggest edit | Close | Delete | Flag The "Suggest edit" changes to "Edit" if I am able to edit immediately. However, when I'm not signed in, the corresponding set of ... (more) |

@ArtOfCode Not to be a downer (I like the idea), but... I don't think it's appropriate to use the SE logo. It comes with all kinds of potential legal issues. Might I suggest something like an appropriately sized U+2398 ⎘ or U+2945 ⥅ or U+2B8A ⮊ or U+2BB3 ⮳ instead? (more) |

@manassehkatz I agree that having something like this which works as an actual filter would be even better. However, that would probably require a bit more UI work if nothing else; because all of the *other* buttons there act as sort selectors, not filters, it would need to be clearly set apart from ...

What I don't have any plausible explanation for is what caused that, especially since (according to the page footer) there was no release in between my reporting this as a problem and my being able to confirm that the software was no longer behaving that way. (more) |

@ArtOfCode I'm definitely willing to go so far as to say that something caused my browser to treat the non-unicorn avatars as mixed content, which prevented them from loading because my browser is set to block all mixed content (not just mixed active content). (My avatar, which is sourced through uni... (more) |

@ArtOfCode Both posters' avatars in the first linked question. I even went so far as to double-check the DOM before posting this. However, I can't seem to get the same behavior now. Makes me wonder if my browser had somehow got into a weird state, and what I was seeing was a reflection of that; I'm p... (more) |

| Question | — |
Permalinks should be HTTPS Each post on Codidact has a "permalink" link under it, which points back to the post. The general format seems to be `http://.codidact.com///` where the first ID is the top-level post's ID, and the second ID is the follow-up (answer) post's ID. For question and article posts (as currently opposed ... (more) |

Some user avatars are referenced over HTTP when the page is loaded over HTTPS, triggering mixed content handling I noticed that visiting Using accents while staying legible on Writing triggered a mixed content warning in my browser. Another example is How to train readers in Argot or Slang (full disclosure: I have posted an answer to the latter question). It seems that some user avatars are referred to throu... (more) |

Comment character count does not reset when posting the comment Whenever you are typing a comment on a post, there's a live-updating character count that shows how many of the allowed 500 characters you have used so far. However, when you post the comment, the indicator doesn't reset. So if I write a comment "Hello world!", the character count quite correct... (more) |

Votes on posts is the primary (but not only) source of reputation on SE, but if your goal is to see how others vote on your posts, reputation is only a means by which you're notified of new votes. I do believe that we should focus on the goal, rather than the mechanism. (more) |

| Comment | Post #276334 |
@OlinLathrop In general, I'm inclined to agree that some kind of metric that indicates how useful/correct a user's contributions historically have been is useful. However, your question appears to me to talk not about *rep*, but about *voting*, which is different. (more) |

FWIW, even though I probably wouldn't frequent a judaism site, I agree with the comment by @Harel13 above. We had much the same type of discussion on Worldbuilding SE, where questions about story characters are off topic, but questions about Santa Claus would be allowed during the Christmas season. T...

A: Show me the rep! I get what you're saying. I've wanted the same feature occasionally, because I think it's nice to see at a glance which posts people like, and which posts people dislike (or, in the intermediate case, even just find neither particularly helpful nor unhelpful). However, keep in mind that reputation... (more) |

I'm starting to get used to having some variation of my feature requests implemented almost before I post them. Either the developers here have managed to hack into my computer, or I wait too long before posting about my ideas. :-) (more) |

@Lundin That's interesting; I was under the impression that "IoT" specifically *excluded* any considerations about things like security, patchability, or update delivery (let alone long-term such). That said, I agree with your basic point, and that was what prompted me to write https://meta.codidact.... (more) |

I haven't tried it, but I suspect that would let you segregate different sites *even if* signing in would be network-wide without any override. Also note that SE lumps together everything \*.stackexchange.com (including \*.meta.stackexchange.com); only the few sites that are on different second-level... (more) |

The signing in part could probably be solved with a simple-enough checkbox "Sign me in across the Codidact network", akin to the "Remember me" checkbox already there. I'm not sure what would be most reasonable for how that should interact with an existing session; something to tell the software that ... (more) |

The list of questions for a user should indicate the category the question is asked in Currently, the "Questions by [someone]" list lumps together all questions, regardless of the category. This mixes meta questions in with actual Q&A. Can we please have something in that list to indicate the category each question is posted in? I'm thinking that adding something in the details t...

| Question | — |
Signing in should sign you in on all sites It looks to me like the session cookie that holds one's user session credentials is currently bound to the specific site. The result of this is that you need to sign in separately to, say, Scientific Speculation and Codidact Meta. If that is correct, then if the cookie was set to apply to all s... (more) |

A: How should we approach a programming site or sites? I don't know enough to have a full answer, but one differentiation that I think makes sense is for embedded systems programming versus more commonplace programming (desktop, web, server, ...). The reason for that is that embedded systems programming often has very different constraints than what m... (more) |

Fair enough, but then I would argue that the response shouldn't be 404 Not Found, but rather 405 Method Not Allowed. After all, the requested resource *exists* at the URL in question; it just doesn't support GET specifically. (more) |

| Question | — |
Following the "sign out" into a new tab results in 404 Not Found I'm honestly not sure what is going on here. Once I'm logged in to a Codidact site, if I click "sign out" in the top right corner of each page, I get signed out -- which is exactly what you'd expect. However, if I follow that link such that it's opened in another tab -- Ctrl+click, middle-click... (more) |

A: Answer own question before anyone else can? I don't think there's a dedicated feature for that. However, nothing prevents you from writing up an answer separately, then cutting and pasting it into the answer form just after you've posted the question. That should certainly be doable within half a minute or so of each other, so at least d... (more) |
