@user47958 We're celebrating it here. If you find that objectionable, don't view the post. It's that simple. Meta sites are for discussions surrounding the parent site and community, so it's up to the MO community to decide what they want to talk about here. They want to talk about the site turning 5, and you don't, and that's okay. We're getting to the point where this has been discussed enough - please let it drop.
@FrodeBjørdal Have you contacted us? That's the best way to get anything sorted, because we're probably going to need to ask you about some details that are better suited for private discussion. I'm sure whatever is going on will be simple to fix.
There are some concerns, as highlighted in the answers given to the post that Gerry linked to. I'm going to let one of our developers answer this, please be patient :)
All - updated the post. All that we had in stock went to sponsor / represent MO at ICM 2014, at the last minute (we didn't know we'd have the opportunity), so all we had in stock was diverted. More is being printed, should be ready shortly, and we'll have the warehouse send all of this out from that batch, then print more so we have some in stock. Sorry about the chaos, it just worked out the way that it did.
Hi Arnold, just drop us a line and we'll get your unregistered accounts moved over. Primarily, it's only important that you include the links, as they are unregistered there's a good chance you can't do anything else that the system asks. Password reset won't work, because they were disenfranchised pre-se2.0.
@EmilJeřábek It's definitely a difference between technical, and research-level sites. Stack Overflow can see 15 incarnations of the same question in a single day. On high-scale sites, closing an unanswered question as a dupe of another unanswered question does almost guarantee that neither question gets answered, especially if the dupe is very old and unlikely to churn again. It's not .. a perfect system by any means (and something we're working on). Fortunately, for Math Overflow, it's very much simplified. Just allow it, because it's expected. I'll see what I can come up with :)
@StefanKohl The moderators are in regular contact with us when it comes to things .. well .. not quite fitting as well as they once did prior to coming over to the Stack Exchange 2.0 platform. This post is precisely what I need for the impetus behind a proposed change. It allows me to (1) show that people care about it and (2) a clear explanation of why, and will likely predicate a feature specification that I'll bring to our team. It's .. as much a discussion as it is an artifact that something might have gone sideways for MO after the upgrade.
