What is meta? ×  When I got the answer for I answered a question
on one meta, and it got migrated to another meta, but I was not
associated with the answer! it was that I had to log out of
meta.SU and then log back in, and then magically the answer was
associated with my account.  Why did I have to go through those
steps to associate the answer?  What went on behind the scenes?

accepted  The re-association of posts on login is an ancient
safety feature, really in place for when you first register on a
site, but left in as a fallback for cases just like this.  Why
didn't your post associate in the first place? Because child
metas aren't in our central account database, only the parent
site needs an entry there...and this caused issues with the user
lookup which goes through that route. This issue is fixed in a
build rolling out in a few minutes.  share|improve this answer
