Q&A Translating the project

It looks to me as though there is partial support for translation. Compare, for example, the text strings output in app/views/advertisement/index.html.erb and app/views/suggested_edit/category_inde...

Q&A Deleted answers are being shown to logged-out users, but not to logged-in users without the Curate privilege

The title pretty much sums it up. It looks to me as though deleted answers are visible to anyone who isn't logged in, but they aren't visible once you're logged in (at least as a user without the ...

Q&A Cloudflare "checking my browser" results in a 404 when forwarded to the requested page

For some reason, Cloudflare has apparently decided that my browser is untrustworthy as of late, and want to do something to "check" it before allowing me to access Codidact. That's a snag, but wou...

Q&A Allow comment thread owner to delete comment threads when only comments from the comment thread owner remain undeleted

Q&A Show last user names if users change their user names

I disagree that this would be desirable. First, unless we want people to focus on the user, instead of the content, who posts something should have little or no bearing on anything. Act on whether ...
