Question for @galtsubery (creator of [Beemind.me](http://Beemind.me) – and thanks again for building a fantastically useful tool!) or others who may know their way around it: I see you added StackOverflow at some point. Yay! But I’m sadly getting a 500 error when I try to create a new StackOverflow goal. Is that a known bug? Anything elucidating in the server logs (I’m dreeves on StackOverflow)?

You’re welcome, Thanks for building Beeminder 😄  
The problem was that [beemind.me](http://beemind.me) is expecting numerical user id. This is what stackoverflow’s api is using to identity users. Due to lack of validation, the credential was persisted to the database and causes an error. I added a fix for that so it shouldn’t raise and error again.

This is unrelated to the primary thread topic, but it seems like data has stopped coming in from [beemind.me](http://beemind.me). @galtsubery, what’s your preferred place for reporting that?

This is a good place to report that. Everything should be fixed now.
