How do I reenable Quack Overflow if I disabled it? [closed]

Question

I accidentally disabled Quack Overflow after asking it one question. How do I reenable it?

Answer 1

Check your cookies

The duck saves a quack in your cookies. Open your browser's cookie collection and remove the quack cookie for the site where you want to re-enable Quack Overflow.

For example in Firefox, right click on an empty part of the page, choose "information", then "security" and "show cookies". There should be a quack cookie with its value set to 1 for the sites where you disabled Quack Overflow. If you remove quack, Quack Overflow gets re-enabled.

Bookmarklet / code

If you don't want to check your cookies manually, you can also run the following code in your browser's console:

$.cookie("quack",null,{"path":"/","expires":3})

This will unset the quack cookie. Here's a bookmarklet:

javascript:$.cookie("quack",null,{"path":"/","expires":3})

Note that you will need to refresh the page afterwards.
