It seems that my MO account does not appear on my network profile. Other migrated accounts appear to have the same problem, although it seems that new (i.e., post-migration) accounts do correctly appear on the Network Profile. For MO accounts of people who did not previously have SE network accou...
When I go look at my accounts in SE network, mathoverflow is not listed there. (You can get to the list of accounts, for example, from your profile page. Other SE accounts are listed on profile page.)
I have checked profile pages of a few other users and noticed the same thing - math.SE is list...
@EvanJenkins, coould be, Francois commented on your new Meta question. JBeardz seems to have wandered off, but his icon on the right is just fading. If you back out of the room explicitly in some way your icon visibly moves off.
@WillJagy so, my MO username is Jon Beardsley, and my math.SE username is JBeardz
but, i dunno, I guess I'd rather have my more sort of... adult username, haha, but maybe i should just get on math.se and change it. i haven't been on there in a awhile

@JBeardz, the instructions for starting MathJax (Latex) here on Chat are in a link on the right, pinned in place by Mariano. Maybe you've already got that working, cannot tell
$f\circ f\vert_{4}=b_4 (3 x^2 y z + 3 x y^2 z) + b_6 (-3 x y^2 z - 3 x y z^2) + b_5 (-2 x^2 y z + 2 x y z^2) + b_1 (2 b_2 x^2 y z + b_2 x y^2 z - b_3 x y^2 z - 2 b_3 x y z^2)$
You can pull $xyz$ out of everything. Homotopy, I think it's a good idea. The thing to do is get a good feel for what chat does, perhaps set up a separate room with you as owner.
If you look, you'll see the MSE chat is a single infinite thread. I think topical rooms might actually result in some mathematics being done. You may not have seen, if a question on Main leads to two people commenting back and forth, the software will (now) ask them to start a chat room together. If they keep going, it will create the room
Anyway, from watching this for the first two or three days, it is clear that few will try Chat without a good reason and some advertising. So maybe you get to lead this particular topic room.
@JBeardz, I'm not about to start a room on integral quadratic forms, but I suspect some of the people who cannot be bothered to answer email from me would probably be willing to use a chat room on it, based less on interest in me and more on interest in each other's work...I'm not bitter, no.
@skullpatrol, possible in a few cases, but there are too many others where email answers showed up months after I sent something when the other guy wanted something from me. I happen to know that spam filters were a big part with other people, because everything worked after the filter trouble was adequately addressed
Right. I think you can arrange pretty much that. You could check the Physics twice weekly chat. Also check some other SE sites that may have successful single sub-topic rooms. Yeah, quadratic forms. Over rings it is not that popular, but I like it.
I'm not sure. I think aroom exists as long as people post to it, meaning it does not take that much computer storage. But I think it is possible to hand off room ownership. I would imagine deletion of a room could be requested in emergencies as well. I guess you won't know all the options until you own a room.
Not something i would have thought of, but the existence of a successful topic room might attract people to MO who might otherwise not bother. In particular, the overrepresentation of algebraic geometry and under_rep of plenty of things has never really been solved.
advertising would be word of mouth or word of conference or email...
@WillJagy you can change your parent user on your own user profile now. The parent user does almost nothing, except for when you create rooms or you are a moderator
@Mad, good. Is the room now going to be OK, appear at the right for example, be easy for people to find? Note that I am having a redone root canal tomorrow, so things seem generally broken
@WillJagy No, this requires either a MSE mod or an SE community team member. I pinged Tim Post above, who should be the comm team member in the right timezone for now
And you should decide on one of the two rooms to use, if you haven't done so now. A moderator or room owner can then also move all messages from one to the other room, if you want to do that
I was configuring the Teacher's Lounge ping for MO when I realized that currently, the option to change chat parent user to MO is not available. Could this be added?
Also, superpings don't seem to work:
@ManishEarth Something isn't linked, I tried creating a diamond only room and assigning the mods as owners, no love. BRING ON THAT BLACK MAGIC BACKFILL!
The chat doesn't seem to appear in the sidebar on the main site (although it does on Meta). ManishEarth has suggested that this might be due to the no-ads agreement. I think it would be useful to have it appear in the sidebar, because right now I think its visibility is too low.
