I can’t see the review or help icon in the top bar. All I see is hats and some other stuff: The help icon is typically missing for me when I unlock review. But it’s blocked by hats even on sites where I don’t have review unlocked. This is happening on my tiny phone in portrait (the only layo...

No more secret hats?

Rob

@AnkitSharma Hard to say for certain. You have a couple more hats to go and one hat has been explained that is not available yet, so more secret hats is possible.

Ankit Sharma

I only need 2 more hats and one I almost got but by day end only 4 out of 6 answer got accepted

U9-Forward

Need clarity over SO Goes Flapper

How 600 word count works?

Do only end result word counts or hyperlinks too?

U9-Forward

@AnkitSharma It doesn't count on words, it counts on charcters.

Ankit Sharma

And do space count and newline???

@U9-Forward yeah I mean that only do character of links count too or only what display

U9-Forward

@AnkitSharma Every character counts i think, not 100% sure.

U9-Forward

07:33

I think i should receive the Eliza Doolots hat, not getting it.

Based on the stuff starting from:

yesterday, by Eran

Actually, one site is enough for Doolots, if you have gained lots of rep on that site during WB. The actual numbers are hard to tell, but if you look at the top monthly users on SO, you'll see many of them have Doolots.

Up to:

yesterday, by Eran

bye

Ankit Sharma

@Catija can I get clearance how 600 letter counted

U9-Forward

@AnkitSharma Now i am 100% sure that spaces and newlines and tabs and links and so on.. are counted too.

Ankit Sharma

Then I can't make a good 600 letter answer which will get accepetd over longer ;D

U9-Forward

@AnkitSharma lol, 599 you mean :-)

Ankit Sharma

yeah yeah

my best contender is 640ish with no chance to trim

Ankit Sharma

08:50

Every hat rule should apply for site meta too

@AnkitSharma Put stuff in an image ;) I'm pretty sure this one meta.stackexchange.com/a/320899/369802 gave me my hat...

Ankit Sharma

12:38

@Tinkeringbell I tried here but 99% of chances are longer answer will get accepted :D

And getting 5 accept in a day is too tough. I got 4 max this WB

Tinkeringbell

Where do you need 5 in a day for?

I'm not even going to try that one... that's quite ridiculous

Ankit Sharma

@Tinkeringbell I am trying on movies.se. I made 6 answers, 4 were sourced and 2 analytic. 4 got accepted few days back. Now nobody even asking this many questions

@Tinkeringbell I have only 3 hats left, one is for new year

@Tinkeringbell -1 you trimmed me out of the screenshot :P

Can some one please help me with the Rubber Ducky hat?

Where is the Discard button which has to be pressed?

Ankit Sharma

@TheDarkSide patience is the key

The Dark Side

@AnkitSharma Ah. Yes.

Not sure what the running theory on Clean Up Duty is but I'm wondering if it has anything to do with # of close votes cast through the VTC queue. I got this hat after hitting the max 20 reviews on SU....?

WELZ

@TwistyImpersonator I got it on meta without any reviews, only edits.

@U9-Forward It's very odd, I got it on DataScience with perhaps 200 rep during WB, but for SO, I required a far greater number.

Q: Winter bash secret hats 2018 - Sun Wukong Hat

I see there are also secret hats of winter bash. For example, I have this "Sun Wukong" hat. I can't see any explanation for this hat. It just say "this is a secret hat". Anybody know how this hat is earned?

David

anyone here who has the clean up hat?

I'm curious about a few things.

@eLRuLL I'd still really like you to give me the Scarf Ace hat. (the knitting post). Congrats on first and getting all the hats (so far)!

anther single site for the Eliza Doolots. Catija she got her hat only on meta.

Anyone notice when she got that hat? Her WB meta rep gain is 1400 by the 21st and 1700 by the 24th.

Anybody want to find a trigger for a secret hat?

U9-Forward

@EthanK You too, actually christmas is already over in my country :-)...

Ethan K

For me, it is almost over.

But not over yet!

U9-Forward

I am December 26th :D

I mean my current date...

Ethan K

Want to find a hat trigger?

U9-Forward

@EthanK Me too.

Ethan K

23:32

I got Sun Wukong on this, by the way (which you should know about; thanks for answering!)

10th hat!

U9-Forward

@EthanK Yup, i answered that MSE Question. i have 19 hats on stackoverflow, and 21 in all sites.

Ethan K

Well, 10 is good for me. Oh, and good job on top 4 on SO!

U9-Forward

@EthanK Some point 3rd :-)

Ethan K

Right

U9-Forward

Does any one know It's A Me hat, i see everyone wearing it, but not me, it says comment on a post, then the OP edits his question, then delete six comments of that question, am i right, did i misunderstand?

Ethan K

23:53

I see: "After the post owner edits their post, delete 6 comments on that post."
