Actually I rely on the notification *not* automatically getting marked read when opening in a new tab. Yes, technically I've read it. But I often don't have the time to react immediately, therefore I want it to stay “unread” until I've reacted. Yes, I could manually mark it as unread again, but that ... (more) |

Anyway, I don't have a problem with the claim “not worth the effort”. I only object to the claim “not possible”. (more) |

@#8049 Do people really have so many email accounts that checking all of them is hard? On the other hand having several email addresses to the same account is not that uncommon. In particular, some providers allow you to stick some almost arbitrary stuff at the end of your user name to get an essenti... (more) |

A secure way that works with still valid and read email addresses would be if at the user page a password-protected (with that user's password) link “I forgot my email” would send some standard email to the email address. That way nobody else can get at the email (you have to have read access to the ... (more) |

Adding random integers to SE links isn't a good idea either. While you don't see an effect as the user who follows the link, other, unrelated users may see the effect, as the extra number is supposed to be a user number indicating who posted the link (this is used in particular for some badges). That... (more) |

One contentious topic on SE was whether to allow “Identify this Movie/TV show” questions should be allowed. I think with categories, Codidact has the perfect solution for this: By allowing those questions but giving them a specific category, people who don't like them can easily ignore them by just n...

Just a random thought: Maybe a better way to indicate ability to write understandable and helpful posts (which is *not* the same as expertise!) would be the median (not average!) scoring of the posts. That way a one-hit wonder won't skyrocket your rating (unless it's your only post; but then, one mig... (more) |

@Lundin: You still can write a C++98 answer to a C++17 question without answer tags. The only difference is that it is not quite as obvious without that tag. Anyway, if the question is only tagged with C++17 (which implies C++ anyway), then an answer cannot use the C++-98 tag (because that one obviou... (more) |

With the restriction to child tags of the question tags, your offtopic scenario couldn't happen, as surely the Java tag isn't a child tag of the C++ tag. (more) |

| Answer | — |
A: Should we be able to tag answers? This should probably be per-community configurable. Since even on Code Golf, not all tags are meaningful on answers, one might say that only tags derived from question tags are allowed, but a site can define “category implied tags” that cannot actually be used, but are treated as if they were used on...

Saving post after ALT text warning still treats the draft as unsaved This is about a bug I've encountered a few days ago when I wrote an answer to the new design question, and which I had not yet gotten around to report. The bug ultimately led me to double-post my answer. Here's what happened: In my post, I included an image, but forgot to add an ALT text. When ... (more) |

Thank you for your answer. While I'm not happy with the workaround, I can live with it. However I disagree with one statement: You'd not have to pass it through an HTML parser; a search/replace adequately can handle entities just fine (and also allows to decide which entities to handle). I however to... (more) |

A: Taking our design to the next level: feedback wanted Another observation: In the new design, the search bar is on the side, which automatically makes it shorter. Which IMHO is unfortunate. Shorter search bars make it harder to do non-trivial searches. If you go to SE, you'll see that the majority of the top bar is occupied by the search bar. The ... (more) |

@mattbrent: I just did a little experimentation. If I reduce the title font size from 20px to 17px and the font weight from 700 to 600, and at the same time increase the width for the post details to 88% (shortening the score part to 12%), then I get back to the 8 visible posts from the current desig...

A: Taking our design to the next level: feedback wanted I definitely do not appreciate the bigger fonts. This makes much less content displayed at the same time, which is bad especially on overview pages. At the current design, two-line titles are the exception. At the new design, they are more like the norm. Also, I don't like the titles to be in bol... (more) |

What about a separate category in electrical.codidact.com? That way it would still be somewhat separated (you won't see the battery questions on the main category, nor the main category questions on the battery category), but would still be on the EE site (where it topically fits), and prominently li...

One thing other sites (including SE) do, and which I've heard is specifically because of SEO, is to put the text of the title in the URL even though the server ignores that part. For example, using that method, this question's URL might read `https://meta.codidact.com/posts/281799/questions-themselve... (more) |

While I do not miss reputation as such, I do miss being notified about up/downvotes on my posts. Reputation changes were a proxy to that.

Should HTML entities be supported in titles? I just noticed that HTML entities (such as ℵ for ℵ or — for —) seem not to be supported in titles. Should they be?

Show question when editing answer. When editing an answer, there's sometimes reason to look at the question again (I just had such a case). Therefore I think it would be a good idea if the question would be shown on the page where you edit your answer, so the edit of the answer can be checked against it. The page should still be po...

More importantly, a question can have answers that don't solve it, or only partially solve it; as is, someone seeing that the question has an answer might consider it solved, and not take the time to read/answer it, although actually the question is still open. (more) |

A simple solution would be to put a close or collapse button on the text. If the categories page hadn't been removed, I'd say it's enough to list the descriptions there (as an aside, I actually miss a way to get a quick overview without clicking on all categories; if anything, I would have increased ...

@OlinLathrop: Did you put quotes around the search term? If not, Google treats it more or less as independent words. Also Bing and Google use different algorithms, therefore Bing's order doesn't tell you anything on how the site's size affects Google results. Note that Google's PageRank algorithm (di... (more) |

@OlinLathrop: There is no proof that deleting the 99% that was not touched on Codidact is not sufficient to reverse the effect. So what's wrong with first deleting the stuff that was not touched on codidact, to see if it has the desired effect? Also, do you have *any* indication of the claimed spill-... (more) |

@PeterCooperJr.: IIUC the ending of APNG files is PNG, and the file formats are compatible (that is, a program supporting PNG but not APNG will see it as normal PNG image showing the first frame), so APNG should be automatically accepted if PNG is, unless special checks are done that filter them out....

I don't think this site is technically a good fit for this, as there is no post type with threaded answers. Now in principle such post types could certainly be implemented, but that would be a *much* bigger task than just adding a new community. (more) |
