Something screwy on the forum

...and I think this may be related to Wraith808's posting issue that we talked about over the weekend.

I just posted a message, but now when I look at it, it appears to come from joiwind!

That's potentially quite bad isn't it? I would not like someone else to be able to post as me.

it def sounds like it could be related to the wraith problem -- sounds like almost same thing.
wow.. how is this happening..  looking into it now.

Sounds like DB corruption.

[mouser]

did you delete the post? i don't see it.

This is what I see for Reply #49

My prime candidate for fix is:

hiding the auto complete window when typing more letters and no accordances are found.

Fixed, coming up in the next build.

Sorry, what was happening is that I was splitting the topic - maybe that's part of the problem? I put joiwind's post back as best I could.

i think i know what may have happened.. perhaps.

you know you are a MOD on that forum, which means you can MODIFY other people's posts.

i think you may have modified someones post thinking you were replying to it.

when you do that, you dont change the poster name, you will just end up with a line at bottom "modified by..."

the reason im pretty sure thats what happened is i can see that you did it
well at least i think i can.

i see you modified a post by joiwind and turned it into a reply to his post.

i've actually done this myself once or twice, thinking i was replying but i was really modifying.

some people just aren't ready for mod powers  

[mouser]

i have his original post, i can put it back.

just show me where his original post is.

Bet you anything you like that's what happened  

I'm not too proud to own up

If you remember, the first time you made me a mod, I freaked out about the extra links added and thought I might accidentally mess things up...and asked you to remove my mod status. 

I still hesitate when hitting that quote link, making sure I am clicking "quote" and not "modify".

Unfortunately I think mouser removed the message I posted as you — it was a corker!
