It looks like you’re all set up correctly! You should start to see indexed pages within the next few days I’ll see what I can do for speeding up that process in the future so it’s more obvious

Mind checking the "Authorized apps" (settings->authorized apps) section of your discord to see if answer overflow has permission to view the servers you're in? my guess is it may be missing that permission causing the servers check to 500 resulting in it not showing results

either way that error message should be better than "no results found" so that part needs fixing 👍 thanks for sending that over, that looks right - i'll investigate what else the cause could be signing out and back in again also may fix it

Did you ever click the "globally ignore account" button in the /manage-account menu?

In the database your account is listed to be ignored which is likely what's causing the sign in issues Gotcha, looks like your account may be in a bit of a weird state then If you use the /manage-account command and unignore your account, then try signing in that may work When you mark your account as ignored, it prevents it from ever storing your discord account in the database, which would cause the sign in flow to fail since it can't create your discord info Yep, when you sign in, it fetches your information from the Discord API, but then where it's failing is it goes to write that information to our database but since your account is in the ignored accounts table it's stopping there to not store information about a user who wanted their account to be ignored I think it's a pretty rare scenario that that occurs but still needs to be fixed up for some better UX so you understand whats happening
