scale from thousands up to millions. Been there, done that. Most of the actual disk spaces gets taken up by the indexes. No matter how you slice it, its a mess. Not worth doing IMHO. Personally, the way I read (here or SE) is I go to the relevant site/community/category and then start at the top and ... (more) |

@Moshi Whether it is UserId + PostId + Boolean or UserId + PostId + Timestamp makes very little difference. Timestamp would make for slightly larger records. Boolean would make the update process more complicated (because you would have to update all the little records each time). There are some othe... (more) |

I don't know how things are tracked right now. My gut feeling (sometimes wrong) is that there is a per-user-per-category timestamp which is used to generate these magic dots. If you want it per-post then that jumps from users x categories to users x posts - potentially a huge table. (more) |

A: Allowing arbitrary image links causes security warnings Codidact is set up for image hosting. It doesn't cost much at the current level of usage. However, if a user puts in a link we don't currently prevent that (may or may not be advisable to allow 3rd-party image hosting, that is a separate discussion) and that combines with, in this case, the 3rd-party...

This logo idea does not make any sense to me. At all. Sorry. Word + box? No. Mathematics has some many wonderful symbols. This seems to be the opposite. (more) |

Actually, that behavior is generally correct. The first page doesn't have the token (terms may vary - session variable, etc.) needed. When you refresh the page, it gets that and then voting, etc. work. It is a side-effect of making things work via AJAX rather than full page reloads for every click. (more) |

| Question | — |
Sign In vs. Sign Up Sign In and Sign Up are two different functions, with different buttons & pages, and they should remain separate. However, there should be consistency in how they reference each other, as well as improved visibility. Specifically: Sign In has small text links at the bottom for Sign In and Sign... (more) |

Voting while not signed in (Persistent irrelevant comment: I jumped down to the title field and entered that first and then went back up here to enter the actual question.) I tried to vote on an answer and nothing happened. No change to the count, no visible error message. After several clicks, I realized that I might no... (more) |

@luap42 There may be a good reason, but can you explain **why** we can't use a FA icon for this instead of unicode? The code is not embedded in someone's name like [Prince](https://www.bustle.com/articles/156480-3-ways-to-type-princes-symbol-name-from-a-font-to-old-fashioned-unicode) (more) |

A: Can we move questions? I have raised this discussion in the past, particularly in the context of "one database per community" vs. "one database per instance". We are currently in "one database per instance", where moving a question between communities ("migrate" in SE terminology) would really be only very slightly more co... (more) |

More for skimming. The idea is that it would add more information without taking **any** additional space on screen, and in a way (e.g., same color as "voted" indicator on individual post page) that would be really obvious to the User without taking away from anything else. (more) |

Show User's Vote on List of Posts Since Codidact shows + and - votes on the list of posts, would it be possible (practical...) to show if the currently logged in User has voted on each post?

@pnuts That would certainly help. But my idea is to make it so that anyone looking at the page can instantly see open vs. closed questions. Personally, I usually want to see **both** but just want to be able to pick out the different types easily as I am reading the list. (more) |

Hide Deleted Comments In places where I can see deleted comments (admin/moderator, possibly also comments I wrote myself and deleted (not sure if that's the case or not)), they should be secondary to the active comments.

Style for [closed] (but this post is not closed) While ```[closed]``` is clear and unambiguous, it really doesn't stand out in a list of posts. Can we have a colored background (like the reddish background for a deleted comment or answer when viewing a post, but a different color) for posts that have been marked [closed]? That would make it super-e... (more) |

Character count does not show on Comment edit. When adding a new comment, there is a helpful character count (x/500). If you exceed the count, it is clear that is why the comment can't be saved. When editing an existing comment, there is no character count. The count is apparently still taking place because the comment can't be saved if the co... (more) |

It seems to me that the simple fix for this is to include a very short statement about it at the top of per-site Metas and a bold/warning/reminder statement about it when Asking a question on per-site Meta.

*alt text* is highly recommended and serves multiple purposes, including:

* provide a preview for those who don't load images automatically - i.e., so they know whether they should bother t... (more) |

The specifics will depend on how things evolve. I know in many places (in the real world), for example, Hebrew gets lumped with some Asian languages. Why? Because they're written funny? Because they are not European? I don't know. Sometimes groupings come out of strange places. I think the best thing... (more) |
