no worries, please let me know if anything else is broken

samcarter replying to Jack Douglas

And thanks a lot for fixing the notifications!

samcarter replying to Jack Douglas

I got one email for this chat message. If this means that mails for future notifications will work, that should be fine, shouldn't it?

Jack Douglas replying to samcarter

I think I've worked this out now - have you got all the pending messages?

Jack Douglas replying to Udi Fogiel

thank you - that's now fixed

samcarter

@Jack Update on the email notifications: yesterday, I got one email notification for an older chat message, but none for the contemporary messages.

samcarter replying to Udi Fogiel

Just for curiosity, I tried to post an answer and face the same problem. It is not just you -- in case this is any consolation.

Udi Fogiel replying to Jack Douglas

Thanks for all the work Jack! for some reason the answer page won't load properly as of today, all I see is ![blob](/image?hash=cd9f8b7c6c004ccccecc018cda67c0395aa76457a06c051aee59a61e85e5be14)  
I don't know if it is related or not.

Hi Jack. Thanks for the upgrade.

Jack Douglas

I've migrated TA - it should be faster now, but if nothing is broken I'll be a bit surprised

Monica replying to Jack Douglas

If you'd like a meta post or a github issue, let me know.  My memories are vague enough (and I haven't tried to reproduce since that could be disruptive), so it's not a very good bug report right now.

Jack Douglas replying to Monica

thanks that does sound like it might be a bug!

Monica

NP.  It was a case of "if you happened to remember", but with all the activity, that would have been a matter of luck.

samcarter replying to Monica

Sorry, I can't remember, there were so many flags...

Monica replying to samcarter

Thanks.  Do you know if you clicked the button twice or three times there?  I'm trying to figure out if clicking it a second time undid the first.  If it's always additive, then I don't need to aim for an odd number (and clutter up the history a little more).

samcarter replying to Monica

(just for checking if it registered: the flagging and counter flagging seem to be visible in the answers history, e.g. https://topanswers.xyz/answer-history?id=7611#h12350 )

Monica

@jack yesterday I saw some unexpected behavior with flagging, and I don't know if it's a real bug or an effect of those circumstances.  When I flag or counterflag a question, the icon changes color so I can tell I've done it.  I tried counterflagging two or three answers and there was no change in appearance.  I tried to make sure I clicked an odd number of times, in case I was toggling it and there was just a UI bug, but I never figured out if it was registering but not lighting up, or not registering.

Monica

Thanks for all the cleanup, Jack and Sam!  I saw and flagged a bit before getting interrupted, and hadn't realized the extent of the problem until way later.

Jack Douglas

strangely enough I was in the middle of a big migration for db<>fiddle - TA is next

samcarter replying to Jack Douglas

Thanks! (that's probably not how you imagined your Sunday evening to be - thanks for reacting so quickly!)

Jack Douglas replying to samcarter

done, thanks for spotting that too

samcarter

(I hope I counter-flagged all their flags on TA/tex, but in case you can see a list of their flags, maybe double check, if I missed one)

samcarter replying to Jack Douglas

Could you add a counter flag to https://topanswers.xyz/meta?q=5056 and https://topanswers.xyz/meta?q=182

Jack Douglas replying to samcarter

thanks very much for letting me know!

samcarter

(and sorry for spamming you with messages on several mediums)

samcarter

@Jack Thank you very much for the clean up! <3

Hi Jack, today I got an error while posting a response in chat. Not sure whether you have to look into it at all, on the next try it worked instantly. Anyway, this was the message I got:

Hi Jack. Was trying to repro something on dbfiddle.uk and got an error message.

samcarter replying to Jack Douglas

Thanks a lot - it works great again!   
  
A happy new year to you!

Jack Douglas replying to samcarter

now fixed - sorry about that

Jack Douglas replying to samcarter

oops, I'll look into that!

samcarter replying to Jack Douglas

Merry Christmas to you and your family! And thank you very much for hosting this fantastic site! It is so nice to have an independent place for a TeX community!

निरंजन replying to samcarter

Same, I have also stopped receiving email notifications.

samcarter replying to Jack Douglas

Since some time, I'm no longer receiving emails from TopAnswers for new notifications (flags, chat replies etc.). I already tried a different email address. Do you happen to have an idea where the problem might be?

निरंजन replying to Jack Douglas

Thanks

Jack Douglas

you can either link another device so you have a backup or save the key

निरंजन replying to Jack Douglas

Thank you very much! Skillmon mentioned that there is a way to preserve the login information and join the website with some other technique. I know about key-generation, is that the sole method?

Jack Douglas replying to निरंजन

all done :)

निरंजन replying to Jack Douglas

I am so sorry, once again the same problem! :cry:

Can't find my passkey. `anj` are the 7--9 characters. Can this be redone please? (one last time)

zetyty

Thanks for your responses to you both. Yes me too I don't really want to ask questions on several sites. My position would be to ask my questions in priority on TopAnswer. But suppose I don't get an answer fast enough, it is possible that I have to ask on SE and I wanted to have a kind of "general behaviour advices" in this case (for the sake of giving visibility to TopAnswer). @samcarter, I think you answer my concern. Thanks!

samcarter replying to zetyty

Welcome to TopAnswers :)  
  
Form the technical perspective: If the question already exists on SE, it can be imported to TopAnswers (including one, some or all answers). Answers can also be retroactively imported if the question was already imported.  (I did not use this mechanism in some time, so assuming this still works...).   
  
See for example https://topanswers.xyz/tex?q=357 how such imported questions/answers look like.
  
Personally I'm not a big fan of asking the same question on several sites. I would pick one site and ask there.   
  
If you do want to make a manual cross-post, I suggest to   
- mention all other versions of the question in all versions of the question  
- if you get an answer on one site, you could ask the author of the answer if they would also like to answer on the other sites as well or you could write your own answer, including a link to were you got the solution from.

Jack Douglas

@samcarter could perhaps try importing it for you
