Answer A: Writing challenge #3: Something new
New 999 call! Answer &mdash; clammy, has chest pains? First day on the job. This one might require some context: I'm starting a new job this month as a call handler with the ambulance service. Apparently day one of training is... intense.

Answer A: Rep score inflation
[status-not-a-bug-but-looks-like-one]? Rep scores have actually just been corrected - we found a couple of voting anomalies on Outdoors yesterday, so I corrected the votes and ran a rep recalc across the network. Rep gets out of sync more easily than it appears...

Answer A: Strange import artifacts.
This is a fun one. This is a bug, but it's also not something we can retroactively fix, so... [status-known-about], I guess? We discovered when we ran the import for the new stuff from Ebooks that importing stuff into a category that's already in-use is... to put it succinctly... a really bad idea...

Answer A: Import Request.
I've imported everything on this list at the moment and edited your post to strike through the URLs. Feel free to keep adding to the list - I'll check back in a few days, or you can ping me when there's more stuff to come in.

Answer A: Accepted Answer?
Let me refer you to a forum thread on the subject, from when we were defining what we wanted this project to look like. It's not the most clear-cut thread ever, but I surmise that the plan is to have some sort of author acceptance. How exactly it works and whether it's similar to SE or our own tak...

Answer A: What happened to the Questions Tab?
Inadvertently developing on production happened. We've had this change to categories in the works for a while now, and I was setting it up yesterday to deploy to our development server so some folks could test it. But... I forgot that I connected the development server to the live database to run ...

Answer A: What questions was my new rep for.
> Is there a way to add this? Yes. It's not the easiest thing in the world, but it's not impossible. More relevant: Is it worth it? The answer to that is probably no. The software this site is running on is now in maintenance mode, meaning it'll get bugfixes and critical new features. Beyon...

Answer A: Unable to select tags beyond the mid C's
There's a limit (100, IIRC) on the number of tags that appear in the list to stop performance going down the drain. That means it only extends into the C's by default. However, if you start typing, the list should start showing you tags that match what you're typing. If you want to create your own ne...

Question Design changes are a-coming!
(Okay, design changes have a-come.) If you're wondering what happened here, the short of it is that the site's design has been updated to use the Codidact design framework, which will make the eventual switch to the Codidact platform a little easier to cope with. The long version is this. The s...

> I think among the team, there are very talented frontend devs, who can finish this within few hours. Why thank you. I do appreciate the vote of confidence... but that said, I'm the only developer on this project. Have a read of this introductory post for some information about what this project ...

Answer A: Please gray out the usernames of automatically-imported accounts on the main Users listing
So this is kinda tricky. On one hand: what you said. I don't believe it's a breach of the license, because an attribution necessarily involves citing the author's name (or username, in this case) - §4.c is about false endorsement, not simply "this person wrote this". Something that implied that im...

Answer A: When someone imports their content from Stack Exchange, would the imported questions be new questions in here?
No. When you "import" your content from Stack Exchange, you're actually just claiming content that's already here - when this site was set up, I imported the December 2019 data dump. That means two things: Any content you claim is already here. The owner is simply changed to your correct user...

Answer A: Email subscription
This is [status-completed]! I've added a few different types of email subscriptions: Everything: get all the new questions. You'll get some duplicates, because this is just a reverse chronological feed. "Interesting": questions with a score over a certain threshold (currently 1, but config...

Answer A: Email subscription
Emails are an item that's been on my backlog for some considerable time. There's some problem with the setup for sending emails on the server, which means that we've been unable to send any emails at all (including important things like password reset) for a while, let alone things like subscriptions...

Answer A: Questionable Promotions!
This is technically difficult to do without being horribly slow. I can do you a random sort easily enough, but the "keep it around for a day" is where it becomes more challenging. As a compromise, how would it be if the lottery page was only one page? That is, there's one page, and there's only 25...

Answer A: Reclaiming you content if you no longer have an SE account
Deleting your SE account removed all association with you from your posts. If you happen to remember what your user ID was on SE, it's just possible that the Data Explorer might have kept that ID associated with them, which would let me compile a list of posts that you wrote, but I don't know that fo...

Answer A: Three vaguely-related bugs
I've had a dig through the logs... 1. When you updated your profile, the text you entered in the website field was `pltavormina.com`. The site is expecting you to enter a website there with the protocol included, i.e. `https://pltavormina.com`. Since you didn't, it couldn't correctly determine whe...

Answer A: Tags: regular/Meta, and tag wikis
So here's the thing: how Meta here works is different to how it works on SE. Meta sites on SE are technically their own instances of the Q&A software, another site if you will, that just happens to be linked to the main site by that main-meta relationship. This means they're completely distinct: ever...

Question A Code of Conduct, dare I say it
TL;DR: I've just created a Code of Conduct, and I'd like your feedback on it. Let's see if we can make a better go of this than Stack Exchange, hey? It's mostly based on the Community Covenant CoC, with some adaptations to make it make more sense as applied here. Have a read through, and lea...

Answer A: password recovery
Known bug (kind of). I happened to be looking at the error logs as you did this, and I saw it pop up. There's some sort of bug in the process of sending mail - I have the server configured to send mail one way, but it ends up trying to send it differently; I'm not yet sure whether that's my bug or a ...

Answer A: Discussion: Edit history from Stack Exchange not imported - copyright problem?
From my understanding, the way I've done things here is okay. The CC BY-SA license essentially says that you must attribute licensed work in a [reasonable] manner specified by the licensor. The licensor in this case is Stack Overflow - not the original authors; they are the licensor to Stack Overf...

Answer A: Interface for showing changes in the history is not very discoverable
So this is an artifact of me not testing across multiple browsers. In Chrome, the `` element (which the history type, username, and timestamp are contained in) automatically inserts an arrow for you, exactly as luap42 suggested. Looking now in Firefox, it doesn't. I'll have a look at how possible ...

Added to the TODO list. Would it be better to mark these questions as being meta questions, or to exclude them from the list altogether? 2019-12-13@20:31: This has now been completed thanks to @luap42. This will go live with the next deploy.

Answer A: Upvoting imported comment - wait for user to join?
Relevant code is here, for those so minded. Reputation will be transferred to the correct user when content is claimed - it works technically by deleting the user currently assigned to each post, and then transferring the post and reputation change to the user who's claiming the posts.

Answer A: Welcome to Writing on Codidact!
So: a little bit of background, and a little bit of information about the site. Background QPixel is a project I started a few years ago to be a clone of SE. It got to a decent stage, and then I mostly abandoned it as I moved onto other things. With the recent events on Stack Exchange and the adv...
