I've now replaced all occurrences of meta.mathoverflow.net/discussion with tea.mathoverflow.net/discussion, here on tea. Hopefully this has fixed the linkrot.

I'm still not able to log into my old account.

Here is the account from non-MO stackexchange: http://mathoverflow.net/users/35294/david-zureick-brown

and here is my moderator account: http://mathoverflow.net/users/2/david-zureick-brown

And I can't merge my two accounts because I can't log into my moderator account. I've logged in and out a few times and it keeps logging me into the non-moderator account. (I've emailed the SO support. It has been merged now.)

Also, I missed this thread before posting this:

I had similar problems. I think I now have unproblematic access to my proper account, but I also unintentionally created a new account. How do I go about deleting the new account? It's http://mathoverflow.net/users/35358/kevin-walker

EDIT: It turns out that the new MO account is linked to my other stackexchange accounts, so I guess I don't necessarily want to delete it.

My account is fixed; thanks.

Ok, I seem to have my account back.

2013-06-24T22:18:38-07:00

I found my old account at http://mathoverflow.net/users/7473/eric-tressler. Could you please merge it with http://mathoverflow.net/users/35336/eric-tressler?

Hi Charles,

Sorry about this! Could you post here links to your old and new user pages, and we'll try to sort you out?

moderators@mathoverflow.net still works, I think. There's also a banner on the main site inviting everyone to directly contact the SE folks with login problems.

@Charles: I had the same problem. Try logging out and logging back in again. The SE staff seem to have fixed this bug under our feet.

2013-06-24T21:55:59-07:00

Ok, I am annoyed. Logging into mathoverflow gives me a brand new account, not my old one (which seems to still exist).

So I went to meta.mathoverflow.net to ask about it, and discovered I can't even ask a question there, since I don't have enough reputation yet. WTF. (So much for "If you have any questions about the change, ask them on our new meta site."[

Other than this old meta site, I can figure out no way to communicate with moderators. There is apparently a chat room, but I'm not allowed to post there either.

This does not get enough mention:

Available loose, or as small tuo-cha pellets, or as Frisbee sized.

So did David: http://mathoverflow.net/users/35294/david-zureick-brown

It seem like most people are not having this problem. I've notified the Stack Exchange team. In the mean time, there doesn't seem to be a way for me to recover my account, since the new account has the same email address as the old one, so when I trigger a recovery email, it only lets me into the new account. The old account has a myopenID alternate, but myopenID doesn't seem to work. :-/

Anton got cloned!? http://mathoverflow.net/users/35287/anton-geraschenko

It worked! Mods don't have diamonds yet. [Fixed!]

Scott Morrison comments on "tea.mathoverflow.net" (22674)

2013-06-24T18:44:37-07:00

Ah, okay. Yes, in that case we will have to do the same re-write. Let me ping Andrew Stacey, who has far more experience than me with Vanilla.

Anton Geraschenko comments on "tea.mathoverflow.net" (22673)

2013-06-24T18:41:18-07:00

I think the solution being implemented is not to redirect meta.mathoverflow.net/discussions urls here, but to rewrite all existing meta.mathoverflow.net urls to tea.mathoverflow.net urls (e.g. look at the meta link in this post: http://dev.mathoverflow.stackexchange.com/a/44694/1).

Scott Morrison comments on "tea.mathoverflow.net" (22672)

2013-06-24T18:33:15-07:00

But Anton, won't the redirect I described above fix exactly that problem, also?

We can, more or less easily, rewrite the database here at tea, but hopefully it's not even necessary.

Anton Geraschenko comments on "tea.mathoverflow.net" (22671)

2013-06-24T18:28:15-07:00

I think François is referring to the links on this site. If people posted link on this forum which pointed to other threads on this forum, that link will now be broken.

Scott Morrison comments on "tea.mathoverflow.net" (22669)

2013-06-24T18:21:20-07:00

I think we're hoping to have a redirect put in place on the new meta, sending all http://meta.mathoverflow.net/discussion URLs over here.

François G. Dorais comments on "tea.mathoverflow.net" (22667)

2013-06-24T16:18:39-07:00

I guess all internal links here should also be edited to point to tea.mathoverflow.net since meta.mathoverflow.net will be something else.

@Steve:

Scott Morrison comments on "tea.mathoverflow.net" (22665)

2013-06-24T14:45:55-07:00

Okay, our old meta now thinks it is called "tea.mathoverflow.net", and no longer rewrites URLs back to meta.

Scott Morrison comments on "tea.mathoverflow.net" (22664)

2013-06-24T14:41:08-07:00

(To clarify, I meant all *automatically generated* links will point to tea, e.g. the navigation links. Links to meta in user content will remain as is for now.)

What will the discussion categories be at tea?

Scott Morrison comments on "tea.mathoverflow.net" (22662)

2013-06-24T12:32:03-07:00

http://tea.mathoverflow.net/ is now up as a mirror to http://meta.mathoverflow.net/, although all links take you back to meta.

If no one reports any significant problems, I'll switch it over soon so all links within the old meta point to tea. By tonight, when we do the switchover of the main site to 2.0, tea will still be available in case of emergencies :-)
