Title: Buggy forum
Post by: DennisG on April 29, 2017, 08:21:22 AM: And I don't mean a discussion group for horse-drawn carriages.

When I click on the "Marketplace: Buy, Sell, Trade" link, the forum software puts someone else's name at the top of the page. In this case, it says "Hello Crgoddard", and every post indicates it hasn't been read, even though it has. This occurs only in the Marketplace forum. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Post by: captainamerica on May 01, 2017, 12:57:24 AM: When I clicked into PMs I was another poster, who had a long, long list of PMs from the mods - and was a very bad boy LOL. That poster had lots of temp-bans, infractions, etc.

Can't name them since I am senile and can't remember what their ID was, but as a gentleman and with respect to the forbearance of reptiles - I wouldn't name them anyway. ;)

The engineer in me is curious, though, about what caused it...? And part of that curiosity is driven by a little healthy internet paranoia that wonders whether I need to check my computer for a virus that may have been lurking on the forum, placed there by a Chinese hacker...? :o

I saw that behavior over the weekend as well, but I'm currently accessing from a different computer and all seems well at the moment... If you're still seeing problems it's making me squeamish about my own computer... ???
