I tried logging in with an incorrect password on purpose and I don't see a link that says "reset your password" (see i.stack.imgur.com/fygIM.png). Perhaps you meant that you clicked "Forgot password?"? Either way, I suggest going to the contact page and submitting the contact form. Maybe something is off with your account: meta.stackexchange.com/contact — Cave Johnson 27 secs ago
Do you have to reset your password every single time you try to log in? If so, I would suggest making a very simple password that passes the minimum password requirements, log out, then log back in and type it in manually to eliminate variables associated with copying from a text document. On the other hand, if you can log in successfully sometimes, and sometimes not, that could mean your computer is compromised. — Cave Johnson 41 secs ago

It takes users 5 seconds to copy and paste the raw text instead of a screenshot. Honestly spending brain & compute power designing this AI would not be worth it. — user1345541 48 secs ago

"We’ve decided to [ignore our own platform and go with something that's at -400]. Thumbs up.... I actually like "what's next" because that's about how the site works not how it looks. Until it crosses the line like the new "mark as read" which has altered how the UI works and makes me have to click one more thing to get rid of the endorphin flooding red box up there. The UI is off-limits; it's been (was) perfect since the beginning. - One Q per Q, and your title should reflect w/e you're actually willing to talk about. -1. — Mazura 25 secs ago

The form says, "You can use this form to submit a request regarding your personal information that is processed by Stack." Should that be "Stack Exchange", or "Stack Overflow", instead of just "Stack"? — The Amplitwist 18 secs ago

@user1345541 If there is raw text to copy, why upload an image? Your argument defeats itself. We're talking about functionality you can make use of but you must not. If raw text is more accessible than an image why won't you use it? The fix here is to add OCR which is not yet available. — hakre 56 secs ago

@hakre "If there is raw text to copy, why upload an image?" how exactly do you have an image of text without the text? Sure, it's possible that you got the image from somebody else and don't have the text it originated from, however, how often exactly does that happen for people who post questions with images of text in them on the network? Because, I suspect it happens almost never. Usually the text I've seen in a screenshot is from something the question asker is working on anyway. — VLAZ 25 secs ago
@VLAZ It is possible to have raw text that contains lots of mathematical notation, which may not be completely straightforward to copy and paste. I don't know whether OCR+AI can help here, I'm just pointing out one case outside of coding/SO, where one often sees questions on Mathematics SE with screenshots of text. — The Amplitwist 44 secs ago

@CaveJohnson OP didn't say there is link to reset password, but rather doing it manually as the password is wrong. We can't know why, but it's not something on SE side. — Shadow The Spring Wizard 36 secs ago
@Kyle I suspect the issue is with the way you copy and paste the password from the file. If you're using some software for opening that file, copying might also copy special characters which aren't visible, but visible to the server when pasting, making it wrong. Try to open the file in Notepad or other plain editor and copy from there. — Shadow The Spring Wizard 59 secs ago

For someone who has contributed more than 400 posts and 1500 votes on a single site, is account deletion warranted? In the end, they also need to be reviewed first by CM due to the number of votes.

Sometimes you want to link to a specific part of a post, though. In this case to the

@VLAZ: Have you ever seen what the MsgBox() produces? Most GUIs have text but you can only screenshot them. Most websites have text to copy, but quite some of them make it tremendously hard to select the text to copy and this goes on. I honor your dedication to proponent the request thought as I believe it is your strong passion for text, not images. So please feel invited to consider this feature request in favor of text despite it is about imaging to improve the overall situation for more text. Cheers! — hakre 14 secs ago

Can you A-B test either of these against the themed buttons we used to have? I liked those. Neither the bare triangles nor the circled ones compare. — Raphael 37 secs ago
"First, question askers spend less time crafting the perfect title for their questions, and instead can focus on the content of the question." -- this is backwards. As you say yourself, the title is arguably the most important part of the question. Generating the post from a good title and, say, an error message (or maybe even an interactive chat-bot thing) seems far more fruitful. — Raphael 40 secs ago
@Mazura for what it's worth, the change that made inbox notifications stay there until explicitly marked as read is one of my favorite things ever. I had wanted it for years and it makes my experience on the site much more pleasant. I get many messages, as I'm sure you do, and I often see them at a time when I cannot answer, and before this change, I would forget them. Now, I can leave them unread until I have the time to deal with them properly. It is a huge improvement. So, to each their own, I guess. — terdon 10 secs ago

It wasn't "true at the ask moment". You answered a post on SO at 11:01:11Z, posted your question here at 11:30:50Z, which was only 29 minutes and 39 seconds later, and succeeded in posting your stackoverflow answer at 11:32:50Z, 31 minutes and 39 seconds after your last answer there.

I think this question is better asked on the meta of cstheory.meta.stackexchange.com because some communities have specific guidance on "follow-up" or near-identicial questions. The folks on the per-site meta are better equipped to give you a tailored answer. Here on MSE we can only give general guidance that might not be the best for your specific question. — rene 20 secs ago
What are you really asking here? You've tagged this as both discussion and support neither of which seem appropriate. As a support question your question would be read as something like "As a user of this site, is there any way for me to change the source code process or force the developers to do X?" The obvious answer to that is "No". It's so obvious that it seems nonsensical to ask as a support. — Makyen 8 secs ago
As a discussion, this question would be something like "Given the entire development process that SE uses, is it possible to establish a part of the process such that no untranslatable strings are permitted in the code?" This, again, seems very strange to be asking, because it really is asking users here to speculate on SE's development process and what changes might be able to be made to it. It's really not a productive discussion to have here without substantially more visibility into SE's development process. — Makyen 7 secs ago
On the other hand, something similar to this as a feature-request asking SE to establish, as a part of the development process, checks to ensure that the code (or at least new code) doesn't have strings which are untranslatable. Such a feature request would actually be useful. — Makyen 10 secs ago

@ShadowTheSpringWizard In the third paragraph they explicitly said they clicked a link that says 'reset your password' (with quotes). I'm guessing they meant 'Forgot password' as that also allows you to reset your password. I'm not sure what is the distinction between clicking a link to reset your password and doing it manually. — Cave Johnson 35 secs ago
@ShadowTheSpringWizard Yes. When a login says your password is wrong, you go through the reset procedure. I've done that 3 times in two weeks. — Kyle 37 secs ago

@TheAmplitwist as far as I know, it's the internal name used by Stack Overflow (the company) employees, and these days some ordinary members as well. Probably it refers to the company as whole, hence all sites, but there's no way new user or even long time user who isn't in the depth of things to know it. — Shadow The Spring Wizard 46 secs ago
@Sasha well, like I said in my previous comment, there no way for ordinary users to know that. All sites link to Stack Overflow, the logo on top of the form is Stack Overflow, and nowhere does it mentions that it can be used for other SE sites. — Shadow The Spring Wizard 40 secs ago

@Kyle Did you try my suggestion of resetting your password, then manually typing out your password character by character? Just to help narrow down the issue. I mean it still could be something with SE, your browser, or something else. But at least we would know whether it's associated with copying passwords. — Cave Johnson 36 secs ago

W/e just do it then. Moving on, I'm part of 76 % "who attempted to vote" because even having been here 10y, with 40k rep, answering over 1k Qs, you don't value my input and and now you're looking to just let noobs do it. What kind of solution are you looking at for people with less than 125 rep, voting on a site?- @terdon Fair enough, but you'd be surprised: I really don't get many.

The reply (auto) from meta.stackexchange.com/contact is totally useless. "You can use any of the following credentials (my e-mail address.)"
