Octavian Damiean

No. We're all passed out.

hello

@OctavianDamiean .. i want to ask about bounty

Octavian Damiean

Well fire away, in the meantime I'm going to search for the bounty faq question.

Q: How does the bounty system work?

who do i ask ?

Octavian Damiean

There you go.

What is a bounty? What is the "Featured" tab on the homepage? How can I search for questions that have a bounty attached? How do I start a bounty? When can I start a bounty? How long is the bounty period? How do I award a bounty? Can I award a bounty to my own answer? What happens if there's no ...

10:23 AM

thanks

Can I award a bounty to my own answer?

No. This used to be possible, but it has been disabled. The user would not get the reputation back, and the bounty will be displayed as +0, “this answer has been awarded bounty worth 0 reputation”.

no way

So that mean i lost my point in my case : stackoverflow.com/questions/8877726/…

Just kidding. I think it's great it's gone.

anybody here who had the chat seizures? @YiJiangsProble?

this should now be fixed, please check (after reloading the JS) that it's really gone

@Chris?

1:25 PM

@jjj Correct (although you could award the bounty to one of the other answers if it help move you in the right direction).

@balpha Hello, have time?

wassup?

I want to merge my accounts, I changed my email but nothing happened.

what's the other account?

I registered in many SE sites with both accounts, does it matter? math.stackexchange.com/users/11549/gigili

no, that doesn't matter

which account do you want to keep?

2:31 PM

Gigili

okay, please put something like "please merge meta.stackoverflow.com/users/177429/zizi into this account" into gigili's "about me" text

as a confirmation that you indeed own both of them

Okay, I should log out first. Right? and log in as Gigili

yep

Okay, thank you @balpha. I'll do it in a few minutes.

@balpha done.

Gigili

Please let me know what happened. Thank you again.

I wanted to keep Gigili :(

2:49 PM

yeah, our merge UI fooled me here... hang on

The hamsters are working...

so it turns out that we always merge the newer user into the older one

Aha. Well then ...

were the user ids important?

there's a way to undo a merge, it's pretty contrived, though

But Gigili is newer. I used this account before the other one, then I gave up using my other email by signing out completely from my browser [...]

3:01 PM

yeah, Gigili is newer, that's why that one was removed in favor of the older one

the only difference is really what user ids you end up with

If it's not that time-consuming, I'm known on SE sites with my other account (Gigili).

is it just about the name?

@zizi You can change your display name any time

Yi Jiang's Proble_

@zizi You can change your account details on any one of the accounts and push it to all of the other accounts

@balpha I was about to ask it, the only difference is my display name now?

Yi Jiang's Proble_

3:02 PM

Also, @balpha I don't see the problem right now, but the problem isn't very reproducible

Ah yes, you're right ...

Yi Jiang's Proble_

There's also the email address, which affects your gravatar

Got it now, Thank you for your time balpha.

Thank you Yi.

@jadarnel27 You would rather spend your days surrounded by noisy, hyperactive kids in a hole filled with years of dried drool than sitting in an air-conditioned office building?

David

@PopularDemand You underestimate the level of filth in the average office building.

As well as the level of irritating noise. At least kids have an excuse for spewing forth nonsense that gives reasonable people a headache.
