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 ...
(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 eve...
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 Co...
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 tw...
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,...
Thundering water Sights, smells of the outside world Lockdown no more.
Raining cats and dogs British weather, as always, Unpredictable
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 a...
I've had a dig through the logs... 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 protoc...
Added to the TODO list. 2019-12-19: Done and deployed.
New 999 call! Answer — 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. Apparen...
[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 acro...
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 ...
Thunderbolt's brightness: All below monochrome-lit. Are we so different?
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 h...
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 fol...
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, ...
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 develope...
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 chronologic...
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 ...
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 happen...
