I received a comment on my answer to https://proposals.codidact.com/posts/289594 about the image size. It is a perfectly valid point. For comparison, in StackExchange it is possible to resize by ad...
In addition to the uniqueness issue, there is also the compatibility issue. Usernames can include characters that are invalid in URLs. Those characters would need to be replaced with hexadecimal co...
I am not a big social media user. I have a LinkedIn account (2 actually, because I have no reason to pay for it so that I can merge accounts) and hardly use it. I have a Discord account and don't e...
I have added a whitelist entry based on the email address used by support to contact you.
I believe Somewhere Else only high-rep. users can see Closed Questions (except their own). I think that is a pointlessly elitist attitude, for lack of a better term. On the other hand, I realize th...
If I jump to an answer directly from a notification, I get a box above the answer: You are accessing this answer with a direct link, so it's being shown above all other answers regardless of its...
This is an extremely common problem. The true geeks among us know how to resize and compress an image before uploading. The rest of the world just knows (barely) how to upload an original image fro...
Popup vs. Inline The box that pops up when starting a new Comment Thread is in the middle of the page and it is not movable. When writing a comment, unless it is very short, I often want to be...
One of the problems is Proposals that get an initial posting, possibly a quick flurry of activity, and then absolutely nothing. One option is to make a rule along the lines of: No new answers o...
We've set up a new place for exactly these types of questions: https://collab.codidact.org/
Chicken, meet egg. In many cases, the askers are much less expert than the answerers. The experts are the ones creating this site - not exclusively, but in many cases, and not necessarily academic...
This has been discussed previously. I have suggested this plus a whole bunch of other image related features. I haven't had the time to work on implementation and nobody else had jumped in to do th...
I received a Mod notification for a Duplicate Flag. In such flags (and anything similar where a Post reference is included), the referenced possible duplicate target should be a link instead of pla...
Recent comments (e.g., https://meta.codidact.com/mod/comments ) could use some improvements. Five specific things that come to mind: 1 - A reference above each comment showing the post title. This...
Echo... I just posted a question https://meta.codidact.com/posts/280045 When I started to post my next question (not this one, another one that will be soon) by clicking "Ask Question" again, the...
Posting a Meta Post about...not seeing Meta Posts! I went to my usual start-of-the-day spot: meta.codidact.com/dashboard All categories for all communities showed up as normal, except Meta: Q&...
I received a flag for https://meta.codidact.com/questions/279799 that it was a duplicate of https://meta.codidact.com/questions/279637 That is indeed a duplicate and I closed it. However, the text...
On Code Golf: https://codegolf.codidact.com/categories/49 "Hello, World!" is listed as including 20 answers. On the actual page: https://codegolf.codidact.com/questions/279147 it says 18 answe...
As @Lundin stated in comments: Because they have 100 or so of them and we don't want to create 100 ghost towns? A community needs people and quality content. Without enough people, there w...
Concept is good. A few suggestions for the details: Image should have a tag line showing where it is from. That could be the name of the post, author, timestamp. That tag line should link to t...
The Codidact community team have accepted to be the staff and run the community. So, in my opinion, if Codidact is an aspiring platform, one may expect that they work as paid staff do. Am I right?...
As noted by @OlinLathrop in a comment: The real question is why some sites artificially cap rep at 1 or 0. Some people can make a net negative contribution. Rep should reflect that. If it were cli...
OK. This appears to be a variant of the known image issues. Specifically, it is relying on extension to determine image type, rather than doing an analysis after upload. However, it appears that So...
please note that many people, who are interested in contributing to a Q&A community, do not care meta subjects like "Code of Conduct", "Copyright Licenses", firing some community staff The ca...
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...
