I keep getting an error saying "It's not you, it's us" when I try to associate my StackOverflow account on careers.stackoverflow.com

anyone else having this problem?

Update: I clicked the "associate account" button again just to get the full text of the error, and got this new error.

Stack Overflow Careers cannot associate your Stack Overflow account:

because it is already associated.

but it's not. My careers account still says I don't have a StackOverflow association.

Fixed

  1. I logged out of careers.stackoverflow.com
  2. cleared out my cookies
  3. logged back in
  4. associated my account

everything worked this time. Thanks for your help.

Glad you got it working - we pushed a fix for the exception you were getting (we DO get logs :)

I'm going to refactor the crap outta account association this weekend - too much Google OpenID cruft in there.

Sometimes this happens when you have multiple accounts on the sites, like, say, multiple Stack Overflow accounts. Do you?

Edit: ah, I see it turned out to be an issue of making sure the right cookies were in the browser. Good to know..

  • No, I only have the one Stack Overflow account but I'm logged in to so, meta, and careers with the same openid.

It wouldn't accept my (delegated) Open ID to log in, but it associated my account just fine.

I can only imagine how many problems that's gonna cause on down the line...

  • note that some programmer checked in a minimum openid version of 2.0 initially, which is unlike all other trilogy sites. This has since been fixed.
