According to the mini profile shown on questions and answers my accept rate is currently 12%. However according to my profile I've asked 27 questions (including this one), and accepted 15, giving an accept rate of around 55%. Am I missing something or is this a bug? |

I think you have got the definition of accept rate wrong. Accept rate is the percentage of your answers which got accepted by the question author. From your profile, I see that you have answered 17 questions of which 2 were accepted. This gives an accept rate of about 11-12%. Sorry for replying to a question 15 days old! I did not notice the date.

You are free to answer anything, as long as it's a valid answer, and yours clearly is. That's the all point of a Q&A.

Yes, there is currently a difference in the interpretation of accept rate between OSQA and Stack Exchange. I've raised http://jira.osqa.net/browse/OSQA-779 to track this. 1
I've added a patch to OSQA-779 that changes the accept rate calculation so it's consistent with Stack Exchange. This won't be exactly the same, every accepted answer is considered, so if administrator has allowed multiple answers to be accepted the accept rate can be raised by this (which is fine I think, you want to reward people by indicating the exact answers that answered their question). It also excludes the accept rate display for contributors on everything but questions.
