On to my question: some users have an "Accept Rate" followed by a percentage underneath their names. What does this mean?

From the main Meta site:
See How does Accept Rate work? which is part of the FAQ for Stack Exchange sites.
See also Is 58% accept rate bad?.
This is a very relevant meta.SO thread. In particular,
- The accept rate is the percentage of answers accepted based on the questions asked by the user.
- The accept rate is calculated on questions that are older than 3 days.
- The accept rate is heavily cached and can take 24 hours or more to update.
- The accept rate is only calculated when the user has 4 or more questions.
See the thread for more info.
