I am inspired by this duck-based page numbers. I wish to add this to my thesis template. How do I go about it? I get it that it may be different for different templates as they may be structured differently. Is there a way to just wite a small package for it?

Luckily your template already uses the fancyhdr package, so you can simply add

to your document. As the ducks are a bit taller than normal page numbers I also had to increase the height of the header and footer a bit and decrease the textheight to make room for the ducks.

Oh, that’s great! I pinged one of the developers of the platform. I think with an email, they should be able to merge your accounts.

In theory accounts could also be merged manually, see https://topanswers.xyz/meta?q=1717 , but this would need other users to be able to tell that you are you. Now please don’t take this wrong, this is not mistrust or anything, but your English is so good and flawless that, at least for me as non-native speaker, it would be difficult to pick out anything really characteristic.

Did you add your email to your old account? This could help with recovery.

Welcome back! Unless you linked your account to your stackexchange account, account recovery is a bit tricky, because the key only stored on your computer. However you can make your new account function basically the same way as your old one. If you go to your profile page https://topanswers.xyz/profile?community=tex you can change your name to be the same as before and you can click on the bell icon Screen Shot 2021-05-19 at 10.25.50.png below your question here and you python answer and you will get all the notification. This makes your account basically the same as your old one.

(to avoid this problem in the future either make sure to store the new key somewhere safe or link your account to your stackexchange com)

It is nice to have you here! And I hope you enjoy the ducks 😃

Yes, this site tries some new approaches to things like comments. I particular like that one can reply to a specific comment – makes it easy to have multiple conversations at once. For example one could ask details about the question and at the same time as joking around with another user without mixing things up.

Thanks, @samcarter. Really liking topanswers.xyz. I basically followed you here. I had noticed for a while that you had changed your displayed name. But I was not having any question as yet to ask. Hence the delay. I am quite impressed by this ’ comments being on the right side ’ feature. It helps to draw focus to the answer fast.
