Are those two servers not in the same internal network? It seems strange that they have to reach out to the internet to talk to each other. (more) |

Why does the internal communication between your servers go through cloudflare at all? Shouldn't that sit only between the users and the service?
This is a genuine question. I have zero experience with that, it just seems strange to me. (more) |

Indeed, looking very hard, I notice it now. Making the line a bit darker might suffice. *Edit:* I've now edited the CSS in-browser so that border-top is black; I think that looks good and is quite visible. (more) |

It should be more clear what comment an attribution belongs to Consider the following screenshot from the middle of a longer comment thread: Screenshot of part of comment thread So which text was written by Monica Cellio, the one above or the one below the attribution line?

Yes, exactly. That way, if the button is visible (which it is if you can use it), at least part of the popup will also be visible. (more) |

| Comment | Post #292530 |
What about putting the popup to the left or right in that case? The worst it would cover is another button, which you are at that moment likely not interested in. (more) |

A: Voting on a closed question Whatever we do, I think the following points should be true in any case: Whenever you can give votes, you should be able to retract those votes. Be it because you didn't actually mean to vote (and that's not a theoretical issue; this has actually happened to me, though not yet on Codidact), or ... (more) |

Thank you for your feedback.
I agree that moving the reference to the comments right after the first sentence is a good idea and have edited that in (and in the process learned that trying to edit a post while writing a comment makes you lose the comment text you already wrote).

Honestly, I'd be far more intimidated by the large wall of text you gave than by the actual messages. The actual messages tell me exactly why the post was closed. I may not agree with the reason (for example, on Stack Exchange it happened to me that a post of mine was closed as duplicate of another p... (more) |

If you swap the content inline (I personally don't mind the full page reload, BTW), then please make sure the individual pages still have their own URL, so direct links, bookmarks and opening in new tab continue to work. (more) |

Given that the HTML is clearly marked as English (lang="en" attribute on the HTML tag), I think it is a rather poor choice of the Browser makers to ignore that. But that's of course not Codidact's fault. (more) |

A: Details tag lacks sufficient styling and summary text The text is not determined by styling, but by a summary tag that is supposed to be inside the details tag, and that is missing in the quoted question.

Actually the position criterion was meant a bit more general than "prefix": I would also show "coffee" before "stoffel" when searching for "of".
Maybe one could calculate a sort penalty as A×(before) + B×(case) +C×(after) where (before) denotes the number of letters before the match, (case) denote... (more) |

Another point to handle it would be to order the results by how well the search term matches. The exact match, if it exists, should certainly be the top result. The score for the remaining maches could then be how much of the user name matches (when typing "tri", and there exist a username "trixie", ... (more) |

A: Should we start displaying the score of a post instead of the raw votes? Just a thought that occurred to me: One problem when seeing the Wilson score when not knowing it is that it's not clear how to interpret it. I think that could be helped by simply displaying 2score-1 instead. This is a linear and strictly increasing transformation, so it would still fit with the o... (more) |

A: Why does searching with answers:0 still show ANSWERED questions? By default the search also finds answers, and since there are no answers attached to those (you cannot answer an answer, after all), it shows them as well. To get rid of them, specifically ask for questions by adding `posttype:1` to the search. Having said that, maybe it would be a good idea if... (more) |
