@Shog9 I must be doing it wrong.

ay up!

I just got logged out of Stack Overflow about 2-3 minutes ago (between 8:45 and 8:50 eastern time). I logged right back in (with Google). This has been happening somewhat regularly on my work PC. @balpha (or other cool people), can you see anything in the logs that indicates why I'm getting logged out?

I'm (unfortunately) using IE8, so that might be related.

sorry, no idea. The logs confirm that you were suddenly logged out, but nothing strange happened in between

Oh well. Thanks for checking! Maybe I'll do some more investigating on this end.

I see a different user coming from the same IP address shortly before you (probably a coworker) -- do you know whether that may have been from the same computer?

No, that's not possible. It's a laptop that I had with me til I got to work. And I've been using it since I got here at 8:30 or so.

okay

I don't know then

They have GMail blocked here, so I'm wondering if it's related to my logging in with my Google account.

I doubt it -- once you are logged in, google is out of the picture

also: WTF?

I think the problem is obvious, @jadarnel27 has been replaced by a North Korean spy and is playing coy so we don't detect his deception.

goes to work

or does he?

That's highly implausible. I'm having Pop-Tarts for breakfast. It doesn't get much more American than that.

It's even funnier, because there are documents on our employee portal that talk about supporting / following the company's social media outlets, but explicitly mentions to use your phone to do it while at work.

"Welcome to the new Google+, now with more columns!"

I've gotten two random upvotes on the same year-old answer in the last 8 hours or so.

That seems anomalous to me.

That, or I'm just paying far too much attention to my Stack Overflow account today.

is it possible to resend an area51 invitation email?

I had apparently not verified my email address (which is rather obsolete anyway since I used my existing SE account to register on A51), so didn't receive an email when the opendata site went into beta

but now it does know that I committed to it yet doesn't allow me in, referring me to the email I never got...

a 'new' user on SO is googling the phrase "pain in the ass" and edits any post he can find to replace that phrase and adds 'explicit content' as explenation for his edit. What should we do in such cases? Approve or Reject?

hi, is it possible to unlink a SE site to my account such that it will not show anymore on the list of my followed sites?

yeah saw that already.. but it was way ago.. just askin if anything was changed

I don't think so, we still use the same login system. If you used different OpenIDs for the two sites you might be able to get them split, but an employee would have to do it manually, and I don't even know if it's possible

@GitaarLAB Hey, come on now, I'm at work!

@michael, but there is no way to 'unregister' to a specific site?

@reikyoushin Well, you can have your account deleted; I didn't think that was what you meant

@MichaelMrozek no, i dont want it to be deleted. i just want it to not show on my accounts list.

Then what I said. As long as they use the same OpenID you definitely can't. You might be able to get them split up so they use separate OpenIDs, but I don't know if that's possible or not. You could try contacting the team

okay.. will do. thanks!

@PopularDemand ? What do you mean?

I was implying that "pain in the ass" was NSFW.

You're going to get us all fired if you keep throwing around such explicit language

@michael: found a way. ;) here is the link stackoverflow.com/help/user-deletion

Er...what happened to "no, i don't want it to be deleted"?

but i wouldn't have reached it without your link though. so thanks a lot!

i thought you meant delete the openid account. haha

(which would mean delete all my SE accounts)

@PopularDemand I'm sorry. Never figured that that phrase (or question on tavern) was NSFW (since it's not a link/image/curse/etc). So we should accept all those edits?

Don't worry, it was supposed to be a joke.

Without looking through the actual edits, I would suspect that the editor is just doing blind replacements and not fixing any other problems with the affected posts, so I would say they're probably rejections.

@PopularDemand phiew, thank god :)

@PopularDemand I noticed that after a couple of minutes my 'peers' started to reject them to as 'to minor'. But since I want to be an asset to the community, I figured I'd ask here.

@reikyoushin Well, make sure you're clear in the message; usually when people want their account deleted they mean everywhere, not on one site

Unless you specify otherwise in the email, we'll just delete whatever profile you link to.

And we'll make you do the "please delete me" thing on all profiles to confirm even if you do want them all deleted.

In my opinion PITA is not really offensive.. is "ass" even one of the common badwords in the US?

In any case, spamming edits for this is a bad idea

@Shog9 well, its okay now. so thanks! i just dont want my hobbies and professional profiles mixed. ;)

Some people really do that? I would be super annoyed if i was photographed every time I commit.

I'm halfway through the latest SE podcast, and all of the issues/concepts/principles they're discussing about question titles are things I've already given consideration to on my own time. If that's not a sign that I need to find a new place to spend my time, I don't know what is.

@PopularDemand stackexchange.com/about/hiring/community-manager-telecommute ahem

...what's your play here, @AnnaLear?

(I am actually seeing that, but I know why, and it's on my end; no need to worry.)

@PopularDemand something along the lines of "you could hypothetically work here and be paid to consider these issues". not that it'd solve your "need a new place" problem.

That was also supposed to be a joke. Based on data from today, I'm clearly not funny enough to work for SE.

I know it was a joke. But the anti-joke chicken is my spirit animal.

Huh. I always associated you with cats before. I have much to learn.
