I just created an account at [outdoors.SE](http://outdoors.stackexchange.com) (via MyOpenID) to answer a question migrated there, and noticed that I had **1** rep, despite having over 200 rep on several other StackExchange network sites, which [should](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/faq#reputation) let me start from 101 rep.

My [user profile](http://outdoors.stackexchange.com/users/382/ilmari-karonen) does list several linked accounts (including my SO account with 5k+ rep), so that's apparently not the problem.  However, I did notice that the e-mail and website fields in my profile were not automatically filled, so I had to add my e-mail manually to get my usual gravatar.

Just to confirm that it wasn't an isolated problem, I went and created an account at [cstheory.SE](http://cstheory.stackexchange.com), where I also didn't have one before (this time via StackExchange OpenID, since MyOpenID wasn't working), and experienced the same issue.  So it appears that this bug is reproducible.

**Addendum:** While writing this post, I went back and reloaded my profile page on outdoors.SE, and it appears that I now have 101 rep there (and a message bar congratulating me for gaining "create chat rooms and 9 other privileges").  However, cstheory.SE still shows me at 1 rep.

**Edit:** I just noticed that the new reputation page now shows the "Association Bonus", so I checked it out.  Apparently, I created my outdoors.se account at `2012-03-12 21:07:59Z`, but only gained the association bonus **one hour and 47 minutes later**, at `2012-03-12 22:54:33Z`.  On cstheory.SE, my reputation events list is still empty.

**Why isn't the association bonus applied immediately upon account creation?**  I'm pretty sure it used to work that way, and the current behavior seems like a significant user interface regression.  If I create an account on a new site, it's because I want to _do_ something on that site that I can't do just as well without logging in — not because I want to wait two hours and then come back to do whatever it was I meant to do.

**Edit 2:** It's now been over 12 hours since I created an account on cstheory.SE, and I _still_ have only 1 rep there.  Apparently, something more than just waiting is now needed to trigger the bonus.

**Edit 3:** My 100 rep bonus on cstheory.SE was finally awarded just one minute before Nick Craver posted his answer below.  However, [my stats.SE account](http://stats.stackexchange.com/users/9808/ilmari-karonen), created 20 minutes ago, is still at 1 rep.

**Edit 4:** Just created an account on [dba.SE](http://dba.stackexchange.com/) and got the association bonus immediately.  Looks like [this has indeed been fixed](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/a/125477).  Thanks, Nick!
