When in SO rooms, everything seems to be normal. But when in DBA.stackexchange rooms, like The-Heap, (@Ben Brocka noticed that) my chat profile does not seem to have a parent SE profile and shows not two links, like other users, but only one link:

Notice that other users in that room show fine and so does my profile in SO chat rooms:

Is that a bug on SE-chat code or I can correct this somehow?

  • So, when it does display it, it displays the wrong site? There must be some other criteria for determining what link gets shown there on the SE chat.

  • Looks like you don't have a parent site on chat.SE chat.stackexchange.com/users/9016/ypercube. I even used the "refresh profile from parent site" mod button, and it said "refreshing profile failed".

  • @ypercube: Seems to have fixed itself. I've set your parent profile to DBA (change it if you like).

The API had some hickups last night and returned broken data when refreshing your account (you basically had user id 0 on all your sites). This kind of issue will be self-correcting once the changes to the parent user handling are done (see here and here), but currently, this requires dev intervention.

I have intervened :)

  • The issue re-appeared again. I noticed yesterday but it may have been there longer.
