Welcome to the Power Users community on Codidact!
Power Users is a Q&A site for questions about the usage of computer software and hardware. We are still a small site and would like to grow, so please consider joining our community. We are looking forward to your questions and answers; they are the building blocks of a repository of knowledge we are building together.

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...
Welcome to the Power Users community on Codidact, where computer enthusiasts (power users) ask and answer questions about software and hardware usage! We're glad you're here and we're excited to s...
I have a domain and now use it for my primary email address. In addition to depositing mail in that mailbox, this address also currently forwards to my Gmail account. (Yes I know, and I want to r...
I am trying to handle the digital affairs of a departed family member. The person had an iCloud account, which I am able to log into (I have the password and the 2FA device). There's about 40G of...
I have a software application (Trope Trainer, from Kinnor Software) that I installed on my Mac (OS 10.12) several years ago. I don't use it often but it's always worked fine for me. The applicati...
I've just installed Thunderbird on MacOS 14.2.1. I've run through all the settings I could find related to fonts and sizes, but nothing I change affects the message list, meaning the list of sende...
The Android Gmail app recently (I have version 2025.06.15.773123224.Release) added sticky reply buttons (reply, reply all, forward) to the bottom of the screen when viewing an individual message. ...
I (well, my spam trap) received email that I know is a scam, but I'm trying to understand how it works. The message contains a URL of the following form: https:/example.com:2096/?goto_app=Somethi...
I have a Pixel 5A running Android 12 (I assume stock Android because it's a Pixel, but I don't know how to tell). The phone app that came with it reports probable spam or scam calls by labeling th...
When I launch new browser tabs from links on other pages, I want the new tabs to appear at the end, not right after the current tab. Chrome (desktop) doesn't have a setting for this (or at least n...
As is typical, I have a bunch of devices that charge via USB and a bunch of power adapters to use with them. I've never been sure what's interchangeable with what, so I am careful to use the adapt...
After this question was asked, there was another one that received an answer that is currently +6/-0 and argues against crossposts. Based on activity since then, it seems clear that at the very le...
Chrome has a well-hidden setting for the default (allow or don't allow sound), but I haven't found a way native to Chrome to override that from a page. I'd like to be able to turn sound off unless...
When using Discord in a web browser, on a server where I have admin privileges, I sometimes find that I've accidentally moved a channel, which affects everyone on the server and can affect channel ...
Mouse usage is a big factor (and was the culprit for my tendonitis). Learning the keyboard shortcuts for your most common operations means not having to jump to the mouse so often. Remember the a...
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...
There are several deleted questions with that tag, so I'm guessing that the tags page is reporting the number of all questions instead of all visible questions. It shouldn't do that; thanks for th...
I am on several Discord servers. One of them has, as its server logo, an image I would rather not see every time I use Discord. I had previously used AdBlock to suppress it, but it came back rece...
Promoting this from a comment thread: samcarter has contributed a lot of both content and curation and would be a good addition to the moderator team -- and has confirmed in that thread that cats a...
samcarter gave me a clue in a comment by asking if the same thing happens if I'm not connected to the Internet. The software does detect that and proceed, fortunately, with the following message: ...
I would like to export the entire history (thousands of messages) of a conversation from Microsoft Teams. There is no "save" or "export" functionality evident in the Windows client. I found some ...
I would like to use a static site generator to create a personal blog. I'm new to SSGs (but not to blogs). Following some initial research and recommendations, I chose Datenstrom Yellow for its a...
This is one of the use cases that motivated tag hierarchies. If we make windows-10-21h1 a child of windows-10, then anybody searching for windows-10 will also see the questions from child tags by ...
A starting point is the proposal. I'm going to quote from the question and from this answer. Again, these are starting points. Our current short description: Power User Codidact is a communit...
I am a new iPhone user and have encountered the "blue versus green bubbles" problem in the Messages app. Messages show in blue bubbles (background colors) if they were sent using the iMessages pro...
