Q&A 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 ...

Q&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 ca...

Q&A 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...

Q&A 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, Scientif...

Q&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 ...

Q&A 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 expec...

Q&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...

Q&A "edit" link below non-Q&A post results in 404 Not Found

I tried to edit a recipe I'd posted, by using the "edit" link below the post text. That gave me a 404 Not Found error. Looking at the URL, I noticed that it says /answers/.../edit, which is wrong b...

Q&A URLs in RSS feeds wrongly assume that all top-level posts are questions

With the recently added article post type (used to share recipes on Cooking), the URL to the post is /articles/nnnnn (where nnnnn is the post ID), or /ar instead of /articles for shorter links. How...

Q&A New site setup process?

I'm not fully familiar with everything that's possible and not with the current software, but I'm a moderator on two Codidact sites (Writing and Scientific Speculation), so hopefully I can provide ...

Q&A How to do superscript markup?

I think those HTML tags get stripped by the server-side rendering, but I do agree that having some minimal such formatting capabilities would be helpful. <sub>, <sup> and maybe a few ot...

Q&A Trying to edit an answer results in internal server error; edit gets recorded, but not promoted to current revision

This is a bit weird. I spotted a typo in an answer of mine, and figured I'd fix it. I was able to edit the answer, but when I tried to save the edit, I got a page telling me there had been an int...

Q&A Don't show the option to create a tag unless no existing tags match the search.

I'm not sure this, as suggested, would be a good idea. I fully understand what you're getting at, but I think it would have undesirable, and also likely unintended, consequences. This is a slight...

Q&A More social media/online communities to link to profile.

I agree that this seems like a low-priority feature. It would certainly fall into the category of potentially nice to have, but it's not something that seems like a deal-breaker for anyone. As alre...

Q&A Can we have second-factor sign-in authentication via e-mailed one-time codes?

I realize that this might be a bit of a niche use case, but I'm going to put it out here anyway. The availability of 2FA via an authenticator app is a great boost to account security. However, th...

Q&A Posts should have a visible indication whether they've been edited, and when the last edit was made

Currently, each post is visibly tagged with a timestamp that indicates when it was posted, as well as by whom. Also, of course, posts can be edited; both by the original poster, and by other users....

Q&A Category RSS feeds should feature a post when an answer is posted

The category RSS feeds (for example https://meta.codidact.com/categories/3/feed.rss) are a nice touch for being able to follow what's going on on a site (or in a favorite category) without having t...
