The reason Discord was chosen is disappointingly simple: It's just the chat software I used and knew best when I invited some people over from Stack Exchange to start this project. The Discord serv...
I definitively agree with the premise of the suggestion, but instead of getting rid of all/most additional input fields and instead of making it a per-instance/per-community thing (which both are g...
The problem Almost three years ago we introduced Abilities to Codidact as an improved system for granting activity-based permissions, such as allowing users who have made consistently great edit s...
When this was initially proposed some years ago, I was very clearly opposed because I did not see much use in such a feature. Having, however, now used Mastodon as my main social platform for almos...
This is pretty much by-design. Zooming in web browsers is not "really" just enlarging the displayed parts, but instead changes a lot of settings/properties for the web page, such as screen resolut...
Disagreeing with that. I don't see a need for showing the title in a "preview". For the body, there is a need because something different will be shown in the final post than what is entered into ...
Disagreeing with that for two reasons: First of all, the same argument as for posts applies that title should be written after the body because it is intended as a kind of summary and you can't su...
A bit over a year ago, I proposed to add a “reactions” like feature on Codidact, which would allow marking answers as “accepted”, “outdated” or “dangerous”, providing more detailed feedback to user...
We have added a summary of votes received (i.e. votes on own posts) to user profiles. You can access it by going to the Vote Summary tab. The summary is available publicly: The votes are aggrega...
This is by design. Sometimes, for example for the Code Golf scoreboard, we need to have a direct link to the answers. Since on questions with many answers the answers are paginated and the order is...
This looks like an issue with Cloudflare, which (wrongly) assumes that what you entered is an email. They apparently have an anti-spam-measure, that requires JavaScript to uncover email addresses. ...
Thanks for your feature requests. I'm going to respond to all your points one by one: Watching tags. We already support having questions highlighted based on a set of favorite tags. You can se...
The problem is, that nothing happens with comments. Literally nothing. This means, that the comment table contains references to a non-existent user, which causes 500 server errors. This is bad an...
Pushed a fix right now, should be coming with the next deploy: https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/commit/fa009b5663412f7346346c532bb5bfe5d6929b4d Update: Changes have been pushed out.
Unfortunately, we didn't have the time to build an April fools easter egg this year. We'll build one next year, for sure! Therefore, for your own safety: DO NOT try to enter any secret code on ...
From what I can see, supporting the [dir] attribute can be safely done. However, we cannot support the [style] attribute for security reasons. CSS allows you to do a lot of things, many of those b...
I don't think it's feasible to support browser-width changes in the header dropout component. That's mostly for two reasons: The same code is used for multiple elements, including the menu, t...
I'm sorry, but to my best knowledge, the Codidact core team has no millionaires. We don't even have a common "Codidact bank account", because a certain pandemic has made it much harder to open one...
I'm sorry, but I have to decline this one. Categories are a core feature of Codidact and an important implementation of our central and long-standing policy that communities should be the ones who...
When I have 2FA (two-factor authentification) activated, I'm kicked out of my session way more often than if I haven't. That's annoying, because I need to go to my password manager and find my pass...
I would like to start with noting, that comments aren't in their "final form" yet, so it's quite likely we'll see some kind of comment voting/approval marking in the future. Besides that, all the t...
You asked for it. The site switcher component is now also visible on mobile. Happy switching.
Back in the real old days, we had a real long discussion about reputation and privileges (exhibit A, B, C and likely many other discussions in other threads). What emerged from those discussions w...
This has been fixed. The recent refactoring of the post routes caused the check, whether you could see the posts in a category, to be too aggressive. (And, as a side note: well played, the 404 im...
This is not a bug, but rather the link was removed intentionally. While making some changes to the header, I decided that the link wasn't really useful for anything, except for one specific use ca...
