Vote to close.....

Off Topic...

Belongs on other Stack Exchange network....

I get this....

meta

Question is not meta related. Actually I think the question belongs on stackoverflow.

Notice I can't vote.. the button is disabled. I can select "Belongs on meta" and then vote, but that's not accurate.

Is this merely a bug in the new closing system?

Just a dumb user error on my part?

Just to close the question out.

@Yannis gave the best answer in a comment to John's answer:

@Scott Generally speaking, beta sites do not get migration targets (except Meta). Flag for moderation attention if you feel a question is more suitable for another site. – Yannis Jul 6 at 4:24

I don't remember what it looked like before the closing changes, were you able to enter a site? Or just a generic "this goes somewhere else" option?

Here's what I see:

Off Topic Migration

In the meantime, what you've been doing is fine (entering a custom close comment reason). Alternatively, you could just flag it as "it needs ♦ moderator attention" and say where you think it should go in the box

Other sites have a list of commonly migrated-to places, but that's a feature that comes with graduation. See this example: Can we have an Off-Topic > Belongs on StackOverflow option?

  • My screenshot shows exactly what I see... no options other than Meta. Hmm.... Chrome issue maybe?

    @Scott yeah presumably mine is a "mod only" thing

  • That would make sense... but there should be a user option for something other than meta.

    The "write your own" is a moderator option only. The same thing has come up on Meta.ELU. Perhaps the mods can put some pressure on TPTB?

    Or simply remove that last step and vote after selecting "Belongs on other network" Let the Mods determine if it's meta or something else.
