All the new communities that I join are using my oldest profile (Tex/LateX.SE) but I would rather they link to my profile at Math.SE.   Is there a simple way to accomplish that? I navigated the site but could not find a way to do so.  This is not the same as  as this one here does not ask about the Network Profile, but rather creating new "ordinary" accounts across Stack Exchange.

My oldest account on the network is Area 51, followed by Mi Yodeya.  I recently filled out the "about me" section on Mi Yodeya (but nowhere else) and did not choose the "update all sites" option because my blurb is pretty specific to that site.  I intended to have that blurb on exactly one site.  I was surprised tonight to discover that that blurb is now on my network profile, where I see no "edit" link.  Am I stuck with either having a site-specific blurb as my network blurb (because it's my first non-Area-51 site) or rewriting it to be more general?  Or is there some way that I can independently edit the network profile?  (Or designate a different site as the default?)   shows that someone else had this problem too, but I'm asking for support, not for a new feature, so I'm asking this separately.

Here's my issue, mostly with privacy:   I connected all my SE accounts long ago but recent events have made it much easier to jump from my profile here to my profile elsewhere. I have questions on site A that I'd rather not be associated with my "identity" from site B. I have no way to delete a question on site A since it has been answered and I have no way to anonomize it for privacy concerns.   Is there a way to:   Delete the question Anonymize the question Unlink my account from site A?

I want to put a link to my SO profile on my homepage. I remember a codesnippet i saw somewhere that would basically display my Username and my reputation. Where was that?

StackOverflow, ServerFault, and Superuser have ads. (I only see them when I'm not on my own computer where firefox and chrome AdBlock extension is not installed). The new SE 2.0 websites do not seem to have ads. Will this continue for the next couple of years?  I would like to know because ads could be a factor in decisions on whether to migrate existing SE 1.0 communities to SE 2.0 or to use an alternative Q&amp;A platform. There are free-software clones of Stack Exchange (Shapado, possibly others...). I know 1 community (Cheminformatics) that uses a clone and 1 (Bioinformatics) that is considering switching to a free platform. The clones have all the essential features but Stack Exchange software quality and quantity is in the lead.

I was able to change my name on all Stack Exchange sites, but not on the main profile at  itself.  Is there a ways to do the change on  as well?

When I was trying to help , I noticed that there is no "Sign Up" or "Login" option for a Stack Exchange account when you are already signed in.  I know it used to be there, what happened to it?  Ok, I see both the signup and login options when I am not logged in        But if I log (I tried with my test account since it doesn't have an SE account already associated):        In the second picture, there is no more SE login option.  The account definitely does not have an SE login associated, but I can't see it on my account either and I do have an SE account.

Ever since the profile redo, the age was shown in the network profile, but not in the per-site profiles. So if someone wanted to see the age, they had to go to the network profile. However.. It's vanished! The field is still there in the profile editing, however. It doesn't appear as if this was implemented:   So... Where is it?

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 know that most (if not all) SE sites have a shorthand link in comments. For example, [SO] for Stack Overflow, [Math.SE] for math.stackexchange.com, and [SoftwareEngineering.SE] for softwareengineering.stackexchange.com. Apparently these are not supported in questions and answers. Is there any plan to add this feature or is it intended only for comments?

Do we have different set of badges in different SE sites. eg. I don't see any 'Pundit' badge in badges popup in Hinduism SE.  Also, if the above is true, then can we include the left badges in a SE site at a later stage.

I noticed, when viewing a question on the , that my username and profile is not correct.  , and .  Something is weird here:   My profile "about" section is filled in and I have the Autobiographer badge. I certainly never manually filled in the about page there so clearly this account is connected to my main account as the profile text was filled in automatically. Yet, the username and avatar does not match. Also I have the association bonus there, so it definitely wasn't me logging in randomly, I must have been already logged in as myself network-wide when I created that account (assuming I created that account).  The "private information" section in that user900 profile is completely blank (no full name, no email address), unlike all of my other profiles. Only the "about me" is really filled in.   Points 1 + 2 = there's no reason why the username or avatar should be different.  Point 3 is a mystery.  Also I am quite sure it's connected to my account. When I log out of Literature it does log me out of the entire network. And when I log in to the network, that account on Literature shows up again.  What is going on here? Is this a bug? An accidental merge? Did I do something weird?   None of this makes any sense to me. There's no reason why I should have a profile with a generic username and gravatar on that site given the other observations.  Additional random data points:   I use the same Google login for everything here. Just to be sure I reviewed account activity for my Google account. There are no security alerts, no unrecognized devices, and no suspicious logins or other activity. I do not use the mobile apps. I sometimes use the mobile site through my phone, but I checked my phone's browser history (which I have not cleared since January) and confirmed that I have never visited that site there. Looks like I haven't cleared my desktop browser history either, and I can at least verify that I did indeed create the account on March 1st, there is a visit to the  and the first question I visited was , although it does not appear that I took any actions there. According to my browser history I edited my profile, or at least visited the edit page, on March 2 (via MSE) and March 4 (via SO). I would have applied the changes to all communities. According to  the Literature site profile was updated on March 3, two days after it was created. Not sure if this is a red herring, but these events did all happen around the same time. Yesterday, I had an unregistered account on the UX site merged with mine (long story), it seemed to happen without a hitch, not sure if that's related.

I'm getting the impression from reading the answers written by some of the real experts here that there are quite a few little packages that just tweak LaTeX2e's default behaviour a little to make it more sensible here and there.  Rather than try to pick these up one by one as I read answers to questions (and thus risk missing them), I thought I'd ask up front what LaTeX2e packages people load by default in (almost) every document.  As this is a "big list" question, I'm making it CW.  I don't know if there are standard rules across all SE/SO sites for such questions, but on MathOverflow the rule is generally: one thing (in this case, package) per answer.  I guess that if a couple of packages really do go together then it would be fine to group them.  This is perhaps a little subjective and a little close to the line, so I'll not be offended if it gets closed or voted down!  (But please explain why in the comments.)  Also see our community poll question:

Take for example  both at SO and SU. Now that there's , (new) users asking a LaTeX question should at least be informed that there is a new Stack Exchange site dedicated to TeX and thus increases their chance of an answer. This should happen before the question is actually posted and ideally offer the option to post the question directly there instead (without the need to copy-paste).  LaTeX is just an example, there's also , ,  etc., and it is obvious that this can only be decided on a case-by-case basis which is why I certainly do not suggest migrating questions automatically when these tags are used. But informing users of that possibility would probably help the SE network in general.

There has been some recent behavior change on SE (around July 2015).  I have two accounts I use, one Google openId based for one set of sites (call it Account-A) and another SE login based for a different set of sites (Account-B).  Used to be that I could be logged into one set of sites with the first user and a different set with the other users.    But now I am logged in with the Account-A on Site-1.  When I go to one of the sites I use the other account for and click "log in" under the SE menu, I go to a page where I only have an option to confirm creation of an account based on my Google login.  It does not present a way to log in with an SE account.    How can I log in with my other account here?  (and before you flag this as a duplicate, please ensure the other question is recent enough and that the answer is relevant.  This behavior has definitely morphed over the years... and I am having trouble finding something that is relevant.  For instance this question  simply points out how to merge the accounts which is NOT what I want  .  This question  talks about presenting different user info on each site but that's not what I want -- I want totally separate accounts).

I just tried to login to the Data Explorer and it gave me a jon.doe user.  I used the same openid...  How can I link this to my other accounts?

I just renewed my antivirus (Kaspersky's) yesterday. After that, I logged onto Chemistry.SE (which I frequent often) but then I was greeted with this  Which was definitely not how it looked like earlier that morning. I wasn't able to  Open the reputation and badges tab Vote on questions, answers and comments (even answers to MY questions) Comment on questions or answers. 'Favorite' a question Attach tags to a question Post questions  etc., etc. But when I logged on to the Physics and Biology SEs (which I also frequent), the page format hadn't changed, but I still faced the same problems as above. Does anyone know how to fix this? P.S- I'm not a computer/formatting whiz, so you'd have to try avoiding the jargon when helping me out, sorry.... (Also I use Chrome...in case that's important.) Also @Oded recommended checking out the browser developer tools and having a look at the CSS, but as I said, I'm no Software/formatting whiz...so I'm still lost....  On @Shadow Wizard 's advice I've taken a screen shot of the 'error' notification (I had to scroll down to get all 10 'errors' on screen, hence the need for separate screen-shots)

I went ahead and added my work account to my personal account's   chrome session and then revisited the google auth link from my main SO   account, and this time it gave me the 2 options, and I successfully   added it. However, I don't think it should work this way! You should   get that screen that either allows you to select an existing logged-in   account, or add a new one.      @RudyOnRails Yeah, I agree. Looks like there's a parameter we can pass   along for that, though I'm not sure off the top of my head how much   work it'd be for us to start doing that for the "add login" path.   Could you do me a favor and write up a quick feature-request for this   so we can track it easier? Thanks! – Adam Lear♦ 20 hours ago
