I was wondering whether other users can see my Stack Exchange Site starred/bookmarked/favorited posts (i.e. are these public or private), and if so where can these be seen. Thanks.

What does bookmarking a question mean? How do you bookmark a question? Do users get updates on their bookmarked questions? Are my bookmarks publicly visible? How do you see your own bookmarks? How do you see other users' bookmarks? How do you see which users have bookmarked a particular question? What impact does the bookmark system have on the voting system? Can I &quot;un-bookmark&quot; a question? Can I search within my bookmarks?

We're considering adding favorite notifications to the global inbox, and are looking for feedback on the idea (as we're not completely sold on it).  But first, some history.  Favorites are kind of like bookmarks, in that they're kept in a handy centralized place.  They also follow you across browsers.  Ok, ok... "bookmarks, on the internet" is not the most compelling feature, but Favorites also opted you into notices for those questions as if you were the owner (edits and new answers, at least).  This was probably the most confusing part (though a  feature) of the old envelope behavior judging by erroneous bug reports, so a way to opt out of this .  Now, favorite updates go nowhere.  But we could* put them into the inbox.  Here's how we envision this feature working:   Every current user has their "notify me on favorite changes" preference cleared (new users start with it cleared). The first time someone favorites a question, they're prompted to opt-in to favorite notices. Whenever a question is commented on or answered (or, possibly, edited) a new notice is pushed into the inbox of users who have favorited it, and have opted in.   Opt-in would be per-site, and it would remain possible to opt-out from your profile page.   This is not a final design, but the basic idea is correct  As I mentioned above, we're not 100% sold on this idea.  We've had a policy to date that nothing goes into the inbox that isn't specifically targeted at a user; this would be tweaking that policy.  *We could also put changes into their tab on the user page, but that reduces their visibility.

It looks like the favorite sites are sorted by reputation and the feed picks up on this as well. Fair enough in general, but for me, it's definitely wrong. I used to be reasonably active on SO and am still accumulating plenty of reputation from old posts there, but now I'm primarily active on cooking. I can't actually tell whether it's using total reputation or recent gain; I still gain plenty from old posts on SO.  The favorite sites and feed should use recent activity for ranking, not just reputation.  (I found , but I'm definitely suggesting automated selection here, not manually curated tag sets.)

There are users listed under the "Users" tab. How do I know who the moderators are? Is there any specific thing to look for on a user, I mean a icon or some other sign? How do I contact a moderator? Is the a way other than using "flag" link?

I wanted a list of sub-domains of Stack Exchange that are not mentioned over here   Some of the sub-domains I found which were not mentioned are       Are there any other which are not mentioned?    Mentions by , ,             Other mentions below which are not mentioned in "All Sites" but are mentioned in the drop down menu on the top left of the Stack Exchange website         Any other website that's left out ?

Is it possible to know who voted my question/answer up or down? If not, then is it possible to include this feature? By this feature we can come to know if you are being voted up by question owner or persons giving other answers to same question or just the visitors of that question thread.  Like...  If it is a group of people giving other answers, then your answer is most correct If it is readers of that question, then your answer is more popular

I have few things on my mind:   I viewed my profile and I wanted to sort my answers by  "Accepted Answer, Votes" Wanted to know how many answers I've made that is marked as  the accepted answer. Sort by Most liked Question: I'm referring to my question who  have the most numbers of favorites. I wanted to sort the questions I created order by accepted or  unaccepted questions.    1 &amp; 2 seems useful to me but 3 &amp; 4 I don't think are that useful. But who knows, someone in this site might find it useful one day!  My POV: My answer is only sorted by Votes, I also want to see a list of accepted  answers on my profile probably not just to know how many accepted answers  I have but also to know what are the accepted answers that I have.

This is related to .  Bill the Lizard informed us that mods know who flagged a post, but does this include them?  If a mod gets flagged, do they get to see who flagged them?  Not that any of these wonderful mods would ever think of doing anything untoward, but you never know.  Bill might suddenly lose his mind one day and, if I have to flag him, madness plus "modness" could equal mayhem.

This came up in the mod chat earlier today. Would it be possible to add RSS feed support for the /review page?    This makes zero sense now that /review has been completely redone, and the jury's out on whether or not this ever made sense. So I get to status-decline my own request. :)

I cannot upvote my own stuff (questions or answers). Why is it that I can mark my own question as a favorite?  Isnt that like upvoting it?  Wouldn't common sense dictate that, as it is my question, it is one of my favorites; i.e., something that I am interested in?

On most sites including the main Stack Overflow site,  has no favorites. So far so good.  However today I noticed that on the  it got 26 questions marked as favorite.  If favorites owned by users who get deleted are "transferred" to the Community user we should have seen LOTS of favorites on Stack Overflow where I'm pretty sure users get deleted frequently.  Any insights on this are welcome.

I recently noticed a new feature, the network profile link, just under the flag weight in my user profile page. It probably seemed like a good idea but I really don't like it. Here's why:  I am very committed to StackOverflow, use my real name for the account, take a professional approach to it and hope to use it as something of a portfolio-light at some point in the future.   Every now and then I venture onto other Stack Exchange sites but I do so with mostly different names for different SE sites. I have posted some questions and answers that I would rather not have connected back to my Stack Overflow account. They've been silly or controversial and have nothing to do with software engineering. I would rather a potential employer not see these posts or even see links to other sites I may be a member of. There are sites where mere membership can be offensive to people. For example: Atheism, Christianity, Skepticism, etc. I really do not want these sites and accounts to be linked back to something that I do take seriously such as SO.   It is also a matter of privacy. I see the network profile and accounts links as something akin to using a particular browser and finding out that the browser is publishing your history for all the world to see. Some might be OK with that but not me. There are SE sites I find interesting and want to participate in from time to time but only anonymously. Had I known that all of my SE accounts would at some point be tied and published together I would have never signed up for many of them.  I would very much like to see a check box when editing my profiles that specifies whether or not my SE accounts should be displayed.  Thank you for your consideration.

I am thinking of making a site which will have a forum. I already have a lot of users (in an old forum, which I want to renew).  I like the Stack Exchange concept (voting, reputation, etc).  Can I build one of my own on my site? (I don't intend to copy any source code, just the concept itself.)  Is the concept patented or otherwise legally protected, or is it free to use?

I had a profile on a private beta site a while back that I listed under my Hidden Communities so it wouldn't show up on my profile on other sites. The private beta was closed, but my profile is still showing that I have 1 hidden community, both on :    ...and on :    But by going to /users/hidecommunities/[me] I can see that there isn't actually anything hidden anymore:     (By instinct I want to blame caching, but it's been several months.)

I have always wondered, do SO/SE employees/admins have an ability to see who downvoted them? For example, I can see my own downvoted questions on .  Does this interface look like it does to me, or to everyone else, when logged in as an admin? And if it's not built-in to the interface, do those who are developers ever look it up in the DB?  If not, why are you lying? (that's a joke.)  I ask this because I think anonymous downvotes save us from taking the downvote personally.  Even at our best, sometimes it's human nature if we know the source of criticism, and I don't want anyone to take a downvote that I make personally.  And no, I'm not making any assumptions or guesses as to why one might do this, beyond that desire  to know why they were downvoted.  Simply wondering if it exists.

I've just noticed, if somebody deletes one of his Stack Exchange accounts, his username is replaced. That's pretty nice, but comments aren't updated and still reveal the original username "@username message goes here". I think that should be updated, too.

I just posted a comment beginning with @username, and my @username part of the comment disappeared (it was the first word in the comment).  Is there a lolcat inside the Stack Exchange database nomming on notifications? May I suggest you feed it?    P.S. I'm guessing this is a brand spanking new feature, but I can see this coming up a lot
