Earlier I faced a similar issue which was solved but this time I have been facing another error.

I have tried following things which didn't help:

  • Update web browser
  • Clear cache and data of web browser
  • Disabling addons

I have been facing this issue for very long time, about a year. I was hoping that the problem should be solved eventually but it didn't happen. Recently I have tried to gather mass and advertised for one site/community proposal. I fear that we will fail if can't participate in Area51 soon.

Any idea or work-around how can I overcome this problem? Or I have to forget Area51 exists!

Software Information: Firefox Quantum 60.9.0esr (64-bit) and Chromium Version 76.0.3809.100 on Debian 10 GNU/Linux.

I just checked that my Area51 profile seems detached from my Stack Exchange profile at all. Following are some weird findings:

Btw, I've reported the problem via contact us form.

  • Try Incognito/Guest mode of the browser then log in. If your existing credentials won't work, just create a new Area 51 account then at some point it may be merged if you want. Edit: noticed Area 51 redirect here to MSE to create new account. Still, try creating it, and you should be able to take part, even if using a different account.

Looks like attempting to log into A51 back in April somehow created a brand new network account for you. How? Why? A mystery I'm not sure how to solve at the moment. The best guess I have is that you perhaps used a different login credential when you were routed through Meta Stack Exchange to log in?

Either way. I merged the two accounts, so you should be all set going forward.

    Btw, can you delete the profile I've created temporarily yesterday?

    I'm having the same issue as Pandya was, do you think it's possible that the same thing's happened to me? (my Area51 profile, my network profile) | If it is, is there anything I can do to fix it? (I contacted support a few days ago)

  • @CDR Dunno if exactly the same, but certainly similar. Your account should be all set. Thanks for your patience, and please let me know if you're still seeing issues.
