When writing comments, you can type certain "magic links" to link to common help pages. For example, if a new post is lacking a minimal, complete and verifiable example, I can just write  Please provide an [mvce].   And this will be replaced with the appropriate link. This is extremely convenient on Stack Overflow.  However, lots of the smaller sites have their own frequently used help pages. For example, on one of the sites I'm most active on, Programming Puzzles and Code-Golf, we have a meta post called  where users can post challenges to get constructive feedback on how to make their challenge better. If I want to point a user to the sandbox, I have to open a new tab, search for the sandbox, copy and paste the url, and enter the hotlink syntax. It would be a lot more convenient if I could just write:  You should try posting this challenge to the [sandbox].   And the same idea is applicable on all of the smaller sites. Now, there are a lot of links like this that could be useful. Each site probably has a better picture of useful links for that site than anyone else would.   I propose we add a method to customize this for each site. A moderator can add a shortcut to a list of site-specific shortcuts like this:  [sandbox] = http://meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/2140/sandbox-for-proposed-challenges/ [unicorns] = http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/37328/my-god-its-full-of-unicorns [addiction] = http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/11652/how-addicted-to-stack-overflow-are-you   And then if someone types one of the magic links on that particular site, it would hyperlink to the specified page.
I would like site specific magic links. Currently you can write [so] in a comment, and it links like this: . I would like to be able to have site specific ones, so for example: English Language &amp; Usage  [dictionary] would go to http://dictionary.com and shows as   Ubuntu  [launchpad] would go to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu and shows as   [launchpad#bugnum] would go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/bugnum and shows as   [forums] would go to http://ubuntuforums.org/ and sows as   [discourse] would go to http://discourse.ubuntu.com and shows as   [paste] or [pastebinit] would go to http://paste.ubuntu.com and shows as   [install-d] would go to http://ubuntu.com/download/desktop/install-ubuntu-desktop and shows as   [install-s] would go to http://ubuntu.com/download/server/install-ubuntu-server and shows as   ppa:peterlevi/ppa would go to https://launchpad.net/~peterlevi and shows as   There is    Ask Different  [applesup] would go to http://www.apple.com/support and shows as   Christianity  [bible] would go to http://biblegateway.com and shows as   Currently, they are all the same, for all sites. I would like devs (mods maybe) to be able to add them on a per site basis. This is just a selection of examples. People can comment or answer with ones they would like and I'll edit them into this question. I asked this because  on Ask Ubuntu Meta wasn't possible right now - because it wasn't a feature.  [The devs] said right now it isn't possible because magic links are network wide, and they weren't sure it was high enough priority to really get done anytime soon, but if you want you can post a feature-request on Meta Stack Exchange requesting site specific magic links and see if you can garner more support for the feature and maybe get a dev to champion it.  So that's what I've done!

This seems like a trivial question, but when I set up the resistive voltage divider equations they are not equal to each other. Am I doing something wrong?  My equations are \$V_A = V_1(R3/(R3+R1)) = V_2(R3/(R3+R2))\$      I tried solving this problem with an LTSpice simulation and with the superposition method, but my answers did not match (although very close to each other). Is this because the simulator uses an approximation? Can someone compare results? Flexslider view preview working but not on actual page My block is not working for the flexslider: The images are not appearing, but the view preview does work.  I don't know if it is relevant, but a similar problem would happen with just a slideshow view, although one image would appear and it would not cycle.  Could jQuery be a problem?  The following is the actual page with the block that is not showing any images.        The following is the view preview, which works. Jawa asked me this  and I didn't know the answer. So I present it to the meta SO community:     [To get the Yearling badge] Do you need to earn the 200 rep within that one year or is it enough to get 200 at some point after being a member for a year? And does 'a year' mean the very first 12 months or the last (sliding window of) 12 months?    I would assume that if you hit 200 reputation after you've already been around for a year, then you would get the Yearling badge. But I don't know. As I understand, the different voltage between two object is caused by the total different charged between two object. Thus, the higher extra electron between two opposite charged object, the higher voltage between them, isn't it? So if i have two battery or capacitor connect in parallel, the negative connect to negative, the positive connect to the positive. Caused the charge from each plate to be double. So that's as my expected, it must be double voltage, but ironically why it's out of my expected and the reality is vice-versa?

Why can't we see light travelling from point A to B?

I was viewing the  and I noticed that I've apparently only had my account for six months, which is news to me... I opened my first site account here in February of 2014.  My account is much older than this, what's causing this bug?  To add some detail... On the per-site list, it does line up the &quot;member for X&quot; text with my actual membership time on that site. For example, when I look at the Meta Stack Exchange leaderboard, it shows me as a member for 2 years, 10 months. This is expected.  Update. With some work, today, I've managed to exceed my Interpersonal Skills hat count of with my Meta Stack Exchange hat count. This has changed my account age to match my MSE account age...  Still not reflective of my actual age... but better. How do I create subdomain like  ? Do i have to access htaccess somehow?

To those who answered: Well, then, should i ask my hosting if they provide some sort of DNS access?? I am currently in a clan with three members. When we tried to initiate a clan war it said we had insufficient clan requirements. Does anyone know what the full requirements are? Is there a minimum clan member requirement? My son is almost 3 (33 months) and for the past few months, he has been holding his poop in, to the point that he won't go for many days a time. When this started, the doctor advised us to give him Miralax to make his stool softer so it comes out more easily. Even with the Miralax, he still managed to hold it for two days at a time sometimes, but at least it was coming out at all, so we continued with it.  Anyway, we've been giving him the Miralax for months now, and now he's (supposed to be) going to preschool in September, which of course requires that he be potty trained. We don't want to hold him back since he's developmentally ready otherwise, so we started potty training a few weeks ago.  He picked up the potty training really quickly – for peeing – but he still holds his poop in no matter what. If he's sitting on the potty, as soon as he's about to do it, he stands up and just keeps holding it in (and once he starts to stand, if we even so much as ask him to sit back down, he screams and cries).  We have tried everything to convince him (or distract him enough) to sit and poop: reading books, singing songs, playing games, playing with toys, offering him snacks/treats (graham crackers), giving him stickers, etc. Nothing works.  As of today, it has been a week since the last time he pooped, with the exception of a little bit today and a little bit yesterday (both of which ended up all over the bathroom floor since he won't sit down). The doctor says now we should give him an enema to force it all to come out, but even so, that won't solve anything going forward since he still won't go in his diaper or on the potty in the first place (what are we going to do, give him an enema every week, indefinitely?).  The issue isn't that he's scared of the potty itself, since (a) he was holding it before we started potty training, and (b) he knows exactly what he's supposed to do, since he has no problem with peeing (he sits down himself, points it out afterward, knows that it gets emptied into the big potty, etc.).  It's that he just won't poop, ever – not in his diaper, not on the potty – and the only reason why anything comes out at all is because we've been giving him the Miralax every day (and even then, these aren't "full" poops, just whatever happens to come out because it's soft enough that he's unable to hold it all in).  I'm at a complete loss as to why this even started, and what if anything we can do that would actually help. Is it a behavioral problem? Medical? Both?? Help!    UPDATE: I just wanted to update this question since a lot has changed since I originally posted it. We discovered there was a specific situation where he would go in his diaper voluntarily: in our bedroom closet with the door closed. So we knew then that the withholding was intentional, since it was now established that he could go if he wanted to.  So we let him continue going in the closet and, over time, found that he usually went around the same time each day. Based on that, we then had him sit on the potty when we knew it was most likely he would need to go. We also managed to find two things that distracted him enough to sit (blowing bubbles and playing with his toy laptop).  By doing this, we were able to get him to go on the potty without really realizing it (so he didn't try to fight it), and then made a big deal out of it every time he did. Over time, that helped establish that that's what he was supposed to do, and now he does so voluntarily. He hasn't pooped in his diaper in probably 3 weeks by now.  I wouldn't say he's "fully" potty trained, in that an adult still needs to go with him and distract him (and occasionally remind him when he needs to go in general), but finally we made progress. $x^2+y^2=z^n$: Find solutions without Pythagoras! I was presented with the following problem:      Prove that there exist solutions to $x^2+y^2=z^n$ for all $n$, with $x,y,z, n \in \mathbb{N}$   I showed that by taking any Pythagorean triple $x^2+y^2=z^2$ and multiplying by $z^{2(n-1)}$ we get $(z^{n-1}x)^2+(z^{n-1}y)^2=(z^2)^n$, which allows me to generate solutions easily for any value of $n$. I managed to find several similar questions on this site, such as  concerning the specific case $n=3$. I notice that all of these questions take a similar approach and start with a Pythagorean triple and use it to generate general solutions.  Is there a way to prove the statement (or better yet provide solutions to the equation) without first relying on Pythagoras?
