"View Your Posts" Issue

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Ion on Wed May 01, 2013 5:55 pm

So, weirdly, every time I click "View Your Posts" from the drop-down menu, I get someone else's posts. This has happened three times already and it's been a different person each time-- one person I knew and two I'd never even seen before. I'm using Firefox, which is the site's recommended browser, I think, so I don't know if this is a problem that Chrome or Safari users would be having, but at any rate it's kind of odd and makes me feel slightly like an accidental creeper.

It's easy enough to replace their username in the address bar with mine, but I think maybe there should be a more permanent fix than that that I don't know about?

That is exactly what I was going to say. I'm partially glad, partially not to find this is a community wide problem, a bit of a double edged sword there. Thanks, though, for trying to fix it Jag and all the coders.

In the meantime, you can manually edit the URL. When you click View My Posts and you get someone elses name, just replace their username with your own and you can access your information.

Note: If your username as a space in it, type %20 where the space would go. If you have an underline, just type an underline.

I can't view my posts

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby nightwolf on Sun May 05, 2013 1:41 pm

So every time I click on " view your posts " I end up viewing someone else's posts instead of my own, is anyone else having this problem.

If anything, this might get a hint:

I've experienced the same problem on this very laptop I'm using, although, when I was in my music class, I was able to log in the website through the teacher's computer. What was strange is that I was able to view my posts by the same link that seems to not work on my personal computer.

I've been experiencing this phenomenon for a while now. I've switched from multiple computers, and still the problem persisted. For a while it would work fine, and then revert back to displaying others' information. The last time I was on, it did eventually load correctly, but I just checked now (JUST got on and checked my PM's and received this link from Jag) and there it is again, not working.

Hopefully they figure out what in the world is goin' on. I really am glad I'm not the only one with this problem @_@

Also, I'd like to mention that on one occassion, the link did fetch a username I had already seen once before (it had shifted three to four different names in one sitting, and then went back to a username I had seen before). Anybody else?

Oh!

Like I said earlier, I don't think that actually works. I experienced the problem on three devices within the same sitting.

Sometimes the link will work properly, other times it will route you to another user. No update on a timetable for a fix. You can manually edit the URL and put your name there to see your posts.
