I sent to a moderator but nothing yet, so I thought I'd throw it out there

[Jim 777]

When I click on my name at the top of the page, where it says "Welcome, Jim #777" it goes to the profile of member smith8777, and I can't get to the area of my stats.

Hack? Goof up?

Please advice.

Thanks,
Jim

I think that pretty much explains it.

Anyone?

That's COOL. When I click your name I get smith8777 as well.

Thanks but not helpful at all.
Why is it when I try to check on recent threads I've participated in or started, it goes to his/her page?

I thought maybe the weird chance that we had the same password, but I changed mine and it didn't help. Then I thought maybe something with the "777" in the name, but it only recently started.

I see the smith7777 also....

Ans we have had a few server crashes here lately.....

One of the admins may have to look at it. This is the first I've seen something like this.

 

[Jim 777]

well anything on a fix would be more than appreciated, 'cause I can't figure it out.

I tried to post once in this thread and it disappeared!

Anyway, the # in your user name is messing it up. Try any link that ends in -777

It's not the pound sign....He's had the account since Dec...Server crash most likely jacked the database...

 

[aminaked]

i guess that would explain my post disappearing too

It's because of the SEO software used here. The admins need to configure it differently so that it doesn't get mixed up with usernames that have numbers like that. (I used to work for vBSEO, the company that wrote the software.)

Admin: You can find more info on this issue on the vBSEO support forum if you need assistance in correcting.

this is being looked at and has been looked at. I had already sent this up the chain once. thanks

Well one of the mods changed my username and dropped the pound sign so it's good now. Makes sense though, as the querying in the php uses that and the ampersand and question mark to concatenate target URLs. My guess is that those shouldn't be allowed in usernames.

It did make it fun trying to log on not knowing the name was changed
To the mod's credit, he did PM me :wink:
