If you ended up for some reason with more than one accound and want them to be merged, please post an answer in this thread (including links to the accounts to be merged and telling us which one you'd like to keep) and an administrator will help you as soon as possible.

Eventually the user should also tell us, which of the accounts he likes to keep. Only the posts (and naturally also the corresponding points) will be merged, but not the content of the user profile (wall, about, etc.).

Hi! I've got a question about the newly merged account. Is it always connected to the original SE account? I mean once I post any high-level question in SE, will it be transferred to my merged account here automatically? If so, could you please merge http://www.physicsoverflow.org/user/huotuichang to this one that I am using now?

Thanks.

There is no automatic import of questions, you need to ask moderators to do this manually by requesting it. The point of merging accounts is to get the answers that have already been imported here associated to you.

Welcome to PhysicsOverflow! I have merged your accounts and also imported your on-topic posts.

As Ron has already said, an automated import is not possible, however, you may always request a post (of yours or others') to be imported here.

Hi, I would like to merge my newly created account

http://www.physicsoverflow.org/user/Zan+Pan

 with my Physics.SE account:

http://physics.stackexchange.com/users/16015/soliton

Thanks!

Done - soliton is merged into Zan Pan.

Of course, you can change your name back to Soliton if you like. There are no restrictions about how often you can change the name.

Thank you

I posted here earlier today, but somehow the post doesn't appear. Apologies if I am creating a duplicate.

In either case, I'd like to merge this account, "jws1", with my imported stack exchange account, "jws", keeping only "jws".

Hi Hans, welcome to PhysicsOverflow!

For you to keep access to the account I had to do it the other way round than you suggested. But as the accounts are merged now, you can change your name from Hans de Vries(2) to Hans de Vries (from your profile) any time you like.
Thanks!

Hi, I come from SE (http://physics.stackexchange.com/users/21487/kai-li), and I have an imported account on Physics Overflow (http://www.physicsoverflow.org/user/K-boy), and I have also registered here as a new user (http://www.physicsoverflow.org/user/Kai+Li).

Could you merge these accounts to a unified name "Kai Li", thank you very much!

answered Feb 25, 2015 by Kai Li (980 points) [ no revision ]

Hi Kai Li. welcome to physicsoverflow! 

As we are not in the SE network, we can not associate your Physics SE account with the PhysicsOverflow account you used to post this answer directly.

But if you have asked or answered for PhysicsOverflow-on-topic questions on SE, you can request them to be imported here

http://www.physicsoverflow.org/4536

and we can then associate these posts with your PhysicsOverflow account.

In the linked thread, you can generally request SE questions you think would be on-topic to be imported.(I hope it's ok to copy your writing @Dilaton .)

Hi Kai Li, welcome to PhysicsOverflow!

I have merged K-Boy into Kai Li. And as Yiyang said (thanks), please feel free to request on-topic SE posts of yours or others you like to be imported.

@Dilaton @Jia Yiyang Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I have two Overflow accounts:

http://www.physicsoverflow.org/user/Sethy+Venatem

Marion Eduardo Hoff here: http://physics.stackexchange.com/users/61966/marion

Merge please?

answered Apr 25, 2015 by Marion Edualdo (250 points) [ no revision ]

Ok, I am correct that this is your imported account?

http://physicsoverflow.org/user/Marion

Unfortunately we can not merge to SE accounts as PO is not in the SE network, but I can merge your two PO accounts, and you can the request the rest of your posts to be imported here

http://www.physicsoverflow.org/4536

if you like them to have on PO too.

@Dilaton, Yes, this is the one. 

Ok, I have merged Marion into MarionEd.

You can change, the user name, and anything else from the Edit Profile link at the top of the page as needed.
