Does anyone have any idea why I get double pinged (the sound plays twice) each time anyone pings me? I don't have any other browser windows or tabs open in chat, I have restarted the browser and the computer, I've cleared all cookies. This does not happen in chrome, only firefox and it does not happen if I open a private firefox window. However, it does happen even if I disable all addons and userscripts in my regular session. What else can I check?
@terdon doubled?
Hmm, I think not. Could you do that again please?
@terdon ding dong
@terdon I typed this one
@terdon I didn't type this one
@terdon it can happen when one edits the message shortly after posting it. Like this.

@ShadowWizard I know, but that's not what's going on.
@terdon oh, OK. So probably Firefox issue.
13:49
It is a firefox issue, works fine in chrome.
Worked fine in firefox until yesterday too. And no, I don't remember what I did to break it :)
Latest version, I assume?
Yes.
But as it worked until yesterday, I doubt it's anything to do with the version. Especially since it works in a private window.
What else apart from addons/login info changes between a private and normal firefox window? WTF is it working on one and not the other with all my scripts and addons disabled ?
Then a fresh profile should also not have the problem. Can you verify?
Indeed. Hang on.
Back in a sec
Right. Could you ping me again please @Stijn?
@terdon test
13:57
Yup. Single ping with the new profile.
Dammit though, I've disabled everything on the old one, what else can it be?
Back in the old profile again.
So addons were disabled. Did you check userscripts?
Also disabled.
Via greasemonkey
@terdon test
idiot forgot it doesn't have the issue here :)
Now where would this question be on topic?
Not SU since it's a webpage issue. Meta.SE perhaps?
Yeah, that's what I figured. But since it's obviously something specific to me, I thought it might squeeze by on one of the tech sites.
@terdon how can you reply to yourself?

@ShadowWizard not trolling... more like playground name calling phenomenon
A maternal insult (also referred to as a "yo mama" joke) is a reference to a person's mother through the use of phrases such as "your mother" or other regional variants, frequently used to insult the target by way of their mother. Used as an insult, "your mother..." preys on widespread sentiments of filial piety, making the insult particularly and globally offensive. "Your mother" can be combined with most types of insults, although suggestions of promiscuity are particularly common. Insults based on obesity, incest, age, race, poverty, poor hygiene, unattractiveness, or stupidity m...
@Alex but on a professional site which clearly forbids those things it becomes trolling. I would flag such thing as abusive, as the user is abusing the power to ask questions in a bad manner.
oh wow that question is hilarious :D

@ShadowWizard it is offensive, I suppose there's no point putting it on hold and leaving it there, I can just imagine someone posting a link to it in a chat room to troll with
it could be argued that the offensiveness of it would merit a deeper kind of deletion, since the post is still visible to certain members, it has the potential to offend them just as much as it would anyone else who happens to see it

hmmm... I am now offered to review your flag, @alex...
with such power comes great responsibility ;)
So "Your mama codes procedurally in PHP" is the new "Your mama wears combat boots"?
I'd say that's an improvement, because my mama, quite frankly, looked ridiculous in combat boots.
@TimPost I think it all boils down to "your mama is fat", cross language. The message was quite clear!
@Lix i was never good at all that "your momma" stuff when I was a child, I've always felt that it's really awful.
i can only hope it that post wasn't made by an adult, it's really the sort of thing you expect a child to do
@Alex It was written by someone that's obviously struggling with maturity. It's not really a matter of age.

@chmod711telkitty Have you tried decaf?
@Stijn I don't think so. Retag means changing name of a tag, burninate means just burn a tag, without replacing with other.
I've just burninated on MSE :)
@ShadowWizard The excerpt of retag-request does mention what sounds like burninating: "This tag is for requests to replace one tag with another existing tag. It also applies to requests that one tag should be merged into another, or simply abandoned."
hmm... so this is a gray zone indeed. Needs an Expert. @TimPost what you think? :)
@chmod711telkitty Is diving statistically more dangerous? I'd think it would be, because you don't have much chance of error correction once you've realized it's needed.
