I have accounts in different communities in StackExchange. Is it possible to have different 'about me' for different communities? Thank you.

We've made some changes to profile editing. The TL;DR is:        We now encourage users to set a name and picture during signup. If you sign up with Google or Facebook, we pull them in and let you edit them before you create an account.   We've made  across multiple Stack Exchange sites easier:       a. Profile editing now defaults to saving everywhere, and syncs much   faster (&lt;5 seconds, where before it would take up to 5 minutes)      b. If you've customized your profile on different sites, you can now   sync only your changes to all sites (so you can avoid overwriting   customizations if you need to e.g. change your email address)      Now, a bit more detail and a quick word on why.  New User Signup  As part of our efforts to , we noticed that a large percentage (~60%) of new users had no name or avatar -- the ubiquitous "user1859302". While this can be used as a signal of a low quality post, in general it's bad for the site because it makes it look like nobody cares, the opposite of an expert community. When they're common on the homepage or in search results, it becomes something of a broken window.  So, we now encourage users to set their username and avatar during signup. To make it even easier, if you sign up with Google or Facebook we'll pull in your name and picture and let you edit them before you create an account. Since we've turned them on, these changes have reduced the number of nameless users from about 60% to less than 3%.  Here's what it looks like, for the curious:    Note that we don't store your image unless you confirm that you want it, and you're free to change both the image and display name and go back to being "user19580329" if you really want.  Profile Editing  The old profile edit page gave you two options: save your profile for this site (the default) or copy all your changes everywhere in the network. This caused two problems:   Most users didn't want to customize their profile on every site. The default was wrong, and the thing they wanted to do (just update it everywhere) was a big scary "Copy changes to all Stack Exchange sites" button. The users who did want to customize their profile, often didn't want to customize all of it, just one or two fields. If they ever accidentally clicked that "Copy changes..." button, it would blow away all their customizations.   So, we made it a bit more intelligent. Here's the original spec which basically outlines how it works:    Basically, the system now assumes that most users just want to have one profile everywhere and makes that the default. If you want to customize, it's now a bit easier to find and when you make changes only those changes will be copied everywhere so you don't have to worry about losing all your other customizations.  To make this even work, we fixed up the syncing process so that it happens nearly instantly across all the sites. This gets rid of the 5 minute delay when you save changes on one site before they show up across the network.  That's it!  and let us know what you think.  Credit:  on the profile editing and  on the signup changes.

I'm a member of , but I'm not able to be a member of . I asked a question on here and it's migrated to Meta Gaming.SE, but I cannot handle the question because it's not considered mine. I also can't login or sign up in Meta Gaming.SE because it seems I'm already a member of it.  Can anyone help me solve the problem? Previously I thought every Stack Exchange site membership means you are member of its meta too.   This is from Meta Gaming.SE:    But I have  from here to there.

I have created my StackOverflow Careers panel, and when I click 'add a stack overflow account with over 200 reputation' the site decides that I have no StackOverflow account at all, although my current one has over 300. I log in to both with the same StackExchange Account with the same email etc so I'm curious as to why this is happening.

It would be nice if you could pick which profiles to show on your combined flair image. Or to create multiple combined flair images with different associated profiles.  I'm suggesting this because I believe not all SE sites are relevant to each other. I'd like to use a combined flair for SO, Programmers.SE and Code Review, but not other SE sites I'm active on.

I've seen a few users mention that certain SE sites like  and  are unique, as they were originally created as Stack Exchange 1.0 sites.  As a fairly recent user, I don't know what Stack Exchange 1.0 was like. The current version of Stack Exchange is the only version I've ever known.   What was Stack Exchange 1.0? What changed between SE 1.0 and 2.0?

Is this a StackExchange site? It looks and seems to function the exact same, but seems to have its own user system, and doesn't contain links to all of the other SE sites at the bottom like all the ones I've seen do.  If this is not an "official" SE site is it acceptable for third party sites to "copy" the look &amp; feel of SE to this extent or is this site in violation of something?

I've noticed that a few users have something like this on their profiles:    It shows their total reputation across all sites.  How can I add that to my profile?

What is done to prevent people from changing their display name to another persons', for example Jon Skeet, and then also changing their gravatar to match too?  In comments it seems there is no visible differentiator, and the differentiator in questions and answers is just reputation and badges.  This doesn't seem to be a problem for stackoverflow, but I'm just wondering what are possible safeguards against this?  EDIT: Also it doesn't even have to be deliberate, if two people just happen to choose the same display name, and they both participate in the same question/comment thread, that would be confusing right?

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 assume the difference in the number of Stack Exchange sites/communities is a mistake... correct?

Is there any way to remove individual SE accounts for particular SE sites?  So in other words, say I want to keep my current Stack Overflow account just like it is.  But say I want to delete my account on Server Fault so that it no longer exists and doesn't show up in my SE/SO profile.  Is there any way to do that?  Recap: Keep current login (and certain Stack Exchange sites) but remove particular SE sites' membership for my particular login.  Does that make sense?  Current Accounts Me - StackOverflow Me - SuperUser Me - ServerFault  Desired End Result Accounts Me - StackOverflow Me - SuperUser  Where the desired end result accounts will be the same user (Me) with the persistent questions/answers/reputation/etc.

I have 101 rep on  and am not suspended there. But the site switcher thinks I only have 1 rep there:     I noticed this after I .   To test this, I just added Expats and Reverse Engineering to my site switcher list. On both of those sites I have 101 rep and am not suspended. Results:    Huh?

This question has probably been asked before, but I just can't find my name. , but the reason that he didn't find his name is because he had less than 200 reputation on Stack Overflow, at the time.  Now, I currently have more than 200 reputation on Stack Overflow; but for some reason, I can't find my name in the .

Hello guys,  Whenever i visit a new stack subdomain website, i have to re-register with my google open id. Why not have one login for all sites, that way it wouldn't have to keep re-asking me for my info for a new stack overflow website. Just a suggestion.  Thanks for all the help on all stack subdomains everybody.

How do users on the new Stack Exchange sites get started? Each user starts with 1 rep, and can't upvote until they have 15 rep.  It struck me that this creates a bit of a deadlock. If a new user asks a question and a new user answers, neither can upvote the other.  Are we relying solely on existing SE users to join these exchange sites (with their bonus 100 rep) so that they can get started?

Meta Stack Exchange seems to have different rules and user behavior than the "regular" Stack Exchange sites.  How is it different?    Individual questions answered below:                Related

I've seen this question asked 3 times, but in none of those threads did I find a satisfactory answer.  I'm not asking about reputation: it makes sense that different sites should have different reputations.  However, consider the StackExchange drop-down menu at the top left of the screen.  When looking through the "Hot questions", the links are often to sister websites of StackExchange (programmers.stackexchange i.e.).  It doesn't make sense to me that if I go to one of those sister sites, I'm no longer logged in.  I feel like it's counterintuitive to click a link to go answer a question, only to find that you can't answer that question until you log in.  What is the reason for this?  Is there an option to do as I'm suggesting?
