@micsthepick oh wait, I was missing the context, maybe there is still something that needs to be fixed there

I'm not convinced, you must create a user to even take a practice test and then you are offered to buy access
yeah sorry, context and me have been problematic, I'm working on it

getting excited for a moment
the spammer page on metasmoke doesn't link between the same user's profile (I think the word is?) on different sites
it would be convenient but IIRC there were some issues around how that is presented in the SE API
while we are dreaming, it would be really nice if we could somehow automatically add "janedoe.fi" to all posts which mention "JaneDoe Finance" but I have done that manually now

@tripleee Yes, there were issues. However, the SE API has been changed, specifically at our request, to make that information, the user's SE account ID, conveniently available (i.e., supplied with the post information, so we don't need to more than double the number of SE API requests SD makes). At this point, the ball is in our court. I've moved a small way down the road to implementing it, in that I changed the filter we use to make the SE API requests, so we're at least requesting and getting the information, but we don't do anything with it at this time. To have what you describe, tracking in MS, we would need changes to both SD and MS (both code/pages and database), obviously.
@tripleee Erratic operation of "live" updates for SE pages is expected at this point and has been quite prevalent since late May. At this point, for SE pages that I keep open to get updates (e.g., the "/questions?tab=Active" pages on MSO and MSE), I keep two tabs open, so I know when one breaks. SE's WebSockets, what's used to transmit all the "live" information, have been flaky since SE moved them Cloudflare. SD has had > 5,100 dropped SE WebSockets since that time, late 2024-05, compared to less than a total of 500 in all prior years.
Note 1: A significant portion, 709, of those 5,100 WebSocket disconnections were timeouts, which I only recently implemented. We don't know if the WebSocket was actually down, but after 7 minutes we didn't get the "ping" that is expected from SE at 5 minutes.
Note 2: In the past, there have been other issues with the SE WebSockets where pings from SE continue, but no actual data is sent. SD didn't, and currently doesn't, detect that, but it doesn't appear that it's been happening, at least significantly, since 2020, however a count of those issues is not included in the "compared to less than 500 in all prior years" above.
