On clicking "edit", the initial comment character count is incorrectly displayed as "0 / 255" When clicking "edit" for a comment, the character count is initially shown as "0 / 255", with apparent disregard for the length of the comment. Making a change, the actual character count is updated correctly and the maximum character count is changed to reflect the 1000 characters maximum for a c... (more) |

HTML, especially modern HTML, is supposed to be *semantic*, not presentational. (It's the CSS that's presentational.) Using a lower-level (more sub-) heading carries different *semantic* information about the document structure, so using a particular [`<h1>`..`<h6>`](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/mult... (more) |

A: Introducing the Vote Summary [status-completed] Is it just me, or does that view assume that people are half blind?

A: Get a [faq] tag, mods! By definition, if a question is frequently asked, then it's also a duplicate. It seems to me that the proper way to handle frequently-asked questions where each question post aims to be the one place where that question is asked and answered, is not to have a "frequently asked questions" tag, but ...

@#8082 It's working now, yes. It *was* failing in the manner I described in the question. I got the same result from several different hosts, using different software, and also with a brand new browser profile, so I dare say that it was *not* caching on my end. (more) |

Accessing scientific-speculation.codidact.com over HTTPS is serving a certificate for collab.codidact.org, triggering browser security warnings When I try to go to https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/, I get a certificate warning. Looking at the certificate details, it turns out that the server is actually providing a certificate for subject alt names `collab.codidact.org` only, issued by Let's Encrypt and with a not-before time o...

Comments that contain math are not re-rendered after editing Comments can contain math code that is rendered by Mathjax, just as posts can.

However, if a comment is edited and the comment, after the edit, contains such math code (whether or not it did before the edit), that is ... (more) |

There's actually another benefit to this: it puts the answer right next to the question when one links to a specific answer, instead of the answer possibly being somewhere in the middle of the page surrounded by other answers. If one is referencing a specific answer for some reason, that makes it muc... (more) |

I would be in favor of a self-hosted solution. At presumably low but possibly nonzero cost, it removes an external dependency, let alone one that has had problems at least twice since Codidact got started (I remember seeing a similar issue with avatars once before); and albeit a small issue, especial...

Also, the license usually applies to the *content*, not to the *idea*. To protect an idea, one would usually turn to some kind of a non-disclosure agreement, a patent, or trade secret regulations; but none of those make much sense for publicly available content. Putting the content under a restrictiv... (more) |

@#8046 Seems to be working OK now, at least from an end-user perspective. For collab, I'm now getting a certificate issued by Cloudflare, which the browser accepts, serial 0A:25:C6:0B:9E:9E:0A:73:CD:0D:6F:7A:9F:F4:40:B9 fingerprint SHA-256 D9:3E:74:97:3F:07:08:E0:15:A5:90:A3:0D:60:D4:FF:76:76:D4:83:B...

collab.codidact.org is serving an expired TLS certificate for HTTPS I noticed that https://collab.codidact.org/ is serving an expired certificate; it has a validity not-after of Aug 9 2021 21:15 UTC. Even though it lists a bunch of other Codidact sites as Subject Alt Names, trying a few, collab is the only one that is having that problem. Another difference is tha... (more) |

Adding a comment to an existing thread results in Internal Server Error, but the comment gets added I added a comment just now to an existing thread to a question on Power Users. Clicking "Add reply", the response was a "500 Server Error" page with the page title "Power Users - Internal Server Error". Uh oh. When I looked at the comment thread, though, my new comment had been added. The er... (more) |

Enabled-state of the "Add reply" button, character count in comment thread view does not update on pasting into comment input field This looks similar to my previous bug report "Body is too short" error when posting middle-click-pasted answer with no changes, and I wouldn't be surprised if the fix is the same. When on the thread page for a comment thread (that is, `/comments/thread/###`), there is the possibility to reply to t... (more) |

Seems to me the only scenario for which that would help is if you have a large number of forwarding addresses, all of them forwarding to a central account, and you used a forwarding address for Codidact but forgot which one *but* still remember your Codidact password. I doubt that's a common use case... (more) |

@#8056 For that to work, would it not require that you'd know which email account to check? In which case you either know the email address already (so no need to "recover" it), or the set of possible addresses is small enough that you can easily check them all (in which case why not just try to log ...

Blocking accounts (even for just a period of time) based on failed logins is a bad idea, as it opens the possibility for a trivial denial of service attack on accounts. Let's not go there. (more) |

That's an interesting idea, and certainly might help some, but at least on desktop Firefox, it's easy enough to do something similar already. Ctrl+T (open new tab), Ctrl+Z (copy address bar contents from previous tab), Enter, Ctrl+Shift+PgUp/Ctrl+ShiftPgDn to put the new tab where you want it, scroll... (more) |

Really, this is as it should be, in my opinion. Semantically, the two quote blocks in your second example represent two distinct quotes; that they are adjacent in the content is a separate issue. If you need a blockquote to include multiple paragraphs, the proper way to do that in any medium is to al... (more) |

There is no need to resort to HTML. (And even less so XHTML; [`<br/>` is XHTML](https://www.w3.org/TR/2002/REC-xhtml1-20020801/#h-4.6), while [HTML uses just `<br>`](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/text-level-semantics.html#the-br-element).
