A: Network-wide sign in created accounts for me on all sites even though I had no accounts there beforehand It's not the network sign-in that's created accounts for you - it's visiting the sites. When you visit a site and are signed in elsewhere, an profile is created for you on that site. So, with network sign-in, if you sign in on one site, whenever you visit a site that you haven't been to before, a ... (more) |

@Alan As long as we can identify which posts need to be copied to the new site, we can do that. (more) |

A: Signing in should sign you in on all sites This is [status-completed]. Signing in on one site signs you in across the network; likewise, signing out signs you out everywhere. This doesn't preclude the use of multiple accounts, you just can't do it simultaneously - sign one account out, sign in as another, and you can switch back and forth ... (more) |

A: Can there be some sort of way to save your progress when asking/answering questions? This is [status-completed] and will be deployed soon. We use Redis to save drafts, since we already use it for other things. Drafts are kept for 7 days; if the post is edited after you start editing but before you save, the edit will take precedence over your draft if you navigate away and come ba... (more) |

Hm. It'd have to function like that here too, @Lundin - there's no way without resorting to nasty hacks to set a cookie based on user preferences. When you log out or log in on one site, it'd propagate that across the network. That doesn't prevent you from using that account again, though - you could... (more) |

A: Please allow specifying license for answers I'm... surprised nobody noticed this earlier. I've added the license picker to the answer form now, pending deploy. Changing a license after a post has been created is [status-declined] for now at least - there's very real chance of creating confusion or legal ambiguity that way, which we'd rather... (more) |

You'd always be able to log out and log back in as a different account, even if the cookie is cross-network. I thought you could on SE as well, but it's been a while since I tried. (more) |

A: An alternative approach to the view order of answers With today's deploy this is [status-completed]. We now display post scores as up/down splits instead of a total, and answers are sorted by a score calculated based on vote counts, instead of by a simple vote sum. This has been on the MVP TODO list for a while, so it's good to get this out! (more) |

A: How should we approach a programming site or sites? I've had some thoughts about this, which I'll try to coalesce into something resembling an answer. > Codidact is growing, but we're still a small project. To help us grow, we're looking to build active, thriving communities. To that end, we're currently only creating sites that have a community al... (more) |

A: Following the "sign out" into a new tab results in 404 Not Found This is [status-bydesign] for security reasons. The sign out request uses an HTTP DELETE request to avoid an attack called CSRF. Clicking a link, by default, uses a GET request. The library that handles our user authentication works some JS magic to capture your click and send the correct DELETE i... (more) |

@Zerotime User content is out of scope for a privacy policy because it's not personal or identifying data. The privacy policy only forms part of the legal stuff; if folks want to know how everything is used, including user content, they need to read the ToS as well. (more) |

A: Is there a privacy policy for Codidact? There is a link in the footer to the privacy policy. The TL;DR is that: We only use your data when necessary We use a self-hosted solution for analytics so your data doesn't leave our servers We will be open and transparent about how we're using your data (more) |

A: How do I notify users with a space in their username via comments? Simply omit the space, and ping `@UserName`. I'm not 100% sure whether having characters after it breaks the notification, but I tend to avoid it to be on the safe side. Comments are due for an overhaul in any case, so this may be changing to a better system soon. (more) |
