What are our plans for image uploading?

I needed to include screenshots in this question but didn't see a way to add them directly. I uploaded those to imgur so I could post, but that's not the ideal solution. (You'll see why if you lo...

Naming of Categories

Links in the Q&A banner text give a 404

The links in the banner text for the Q&A category all lead to 404s due to (I assume) outdated links. E.g. "fiction" leads to https://writing.codidact.com/questions/tagged/1/fiction instead of h...

Questionable Promotions!

I notice we have a dearth of activity on this site. With a relatively small number of active users, perhaps we can add a tab to the "Questions" Page. We have Activity, Age, Score as sorting algori...

When someone imports their content from Stack Exchange, would the imported questions be new questions in here?

By "new questions in here", I mean it's like 20 new questions of that new user flood up the homepage at one time.

What new data should we import from SE?

When we set up this site we imported from SE as of the December data dump (the latest we had at the time). We didn't have a way to get the delta; the import code didn't use the API. We now have b...

How can we revitalize our community?

Formatting Progress while writing an Answer

On SE, as we write our answers the formatted text appears below it; a what-you-see-is-what-you-get image. That helps me, at least, tell if I have unclosed Bold or Italics, if my links are working,...

Upvoting imported comment - wait for user to join?

Will upvotes on imported posts be included in the authors reputation when that user joins? Or does it make sense to wait with upvoting until the user actually joined?

In SomeOther systems, there is an easy way to mark an Answer as the "accepted answer". I don't see an obvious way to do that here. Is there a way? If not, should there be?
