Should [biking] and [bikes] be synonymized or perhaps "bikes" made a child of "biking"? I'm not very familiar with Codidact's hierarchical tags and what they imply for cases like this. Do you do s...
When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorr...
I hereby swear and affirm — under the pains of moderators — that I shall not post new questions to identify locations of pictures before June 30 2022. I have located most pics in my closed questio...
Yesterday a user posted two picture identification questions with no apparent prior research. The same user did this a couple of months ago too. At that time, I spent a few minutes with Google Ea...
Codidact's communities have a lot of great content that is helping people on the Internet. Our communities are small, though, and sustainable communities depend on having lots of active, engaged p...
Continuing on with this previous meta post, what is actually going on? The previous post was initially about the policy of bumping old posts to the top of the active list. However, that brought u...
It has not gone unnoticed that someone(s) have been downvoting imported questions as soon as they hit the front page regardless of whether they are good or bad questions otherwise. Question need t...
Lately some old posts that were already old when imported from elsewhere have popped to the top of the active questions list. In one case, one of the answers was apparently deleted. Two recent on...
I've seen this a few times, most recently today with this question. The question list says "last activity about 7 hours ago by Charlie Brumbaugh". But when I go into the question, I can't find a...
Today, another imported question popped up. I didn't notice it was imported right away, and ended up wasting time on it. OK, that's on me. It is properly marked as imported. It's my fault for n...
https://outdoors.codidact.com/categories/5/tags/504 Ah yeah, it's me. Howdy peeps ;)
Looking at posts tagged [status-completed], or the tags list for the category, it becomes evident that the [status-completed] tag isn't showing up formatted as a moderator tag and the other status ...
I am going through my imported posts and voting on answers. Some of them are giving me this message. This occurred with Google Chrome, right click open in new window. In the first example I also t...
What do the 'delete' and 'close' options I see under a question do? I am a normal user with ~1700 rep. I see a delete button under questions and answers (if I wrote them or not). When I mouse over...
I am using the mobile version of Codidact on Firefox (on an Android device). If I press the inbox to check the messages (as it has the notice with 1 message to read), I cannot read it, as it goes o...
How to refine search for multiple words? If I search 'Rain' I get 30 groups of answers. https://outdoors.codidact.com/posts/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search=rain If I search 'Rain gear' I get 75 gr...
Yesterday (I think), I wrote a comment to this question. I can't show the exact text of the comment since it's now gone, but it was basically about telling the asker that "Ursack" should be define...
I know from experience on other codidact sites. That if we provide a list of posts, ArtOfCode can and will import them. I propose that about monthly we use the list at https://outdoors.stackexchan...
Charlie I saw the new Gear Recommendations my first impression is that I like it. My second thought is that there are probably a lot of post in the primary Q&A that would fit nicely there. Is i...
I see "Swimming" is listed in the Help page on scope, but I'm not sure if that's that solely regarding the "sport" itself somehow, or if questions on how to maintain an outdoor pool (measuring pH, ...
Stack Exchange sites that are not beta support community-curated ads. The Great Outdoors is one such site, and obviously there's some support on meta there for this community, so have y'all consid...
I noticed that some of the posts I wrote on SE Outdoors were imported, apparently to give the illusion of more activity here than there really is. It was a little disconcerting to see that, althou...
I was thinking this morning I might manually migrate over my posts at https://bicycles.stackexchange.com to https://outdoors.codidact.com/ I can't see a reason to exclude any bicycle related quest...
Are questions about gardening on-topic on this site? It's "outdoors", but not the kinds of outdoor activity that most questions seem to be about. I know that over on SE there's another site for g...
I am not able to vote up or down on the question or answer here https://photography.codidact.com/questions/74926 I have a vote history of one vote on that site which is on a meta post. Also I a...
Counting page visits is possible, and it is an intricate part of the displayed details on some sites. I was considering asking for it as feature request, but I wonder if that is information we w...
If I click on the edit link on a question (e.g., https://outdoors.codidact.com/questions/74859/edit ), I get a 403 page. This is either a bug (i.e., I should be able to edit) or a feature (I'm not...
