Well this is odd.

My profile says I have no posts and my name isn't right; I'm missing my squiggles!

I think I might be missing a friend too, but then again, I'm not 100% I had any. :lol:

I see squiggles and 795 posts.

~Stella~ · May 27, 2009

On my "public profile?" Like, if you click my name?

PhotoXopher · May 27, 2009

Aha... nope, you're right.

Very strange.

~Stella~ · May 27, 2009

Also, I was just able to send a friend request to myself. That can't be good.

Yeah, sounds like your account is hosed up... like it's two accounts in one.

Did you get my test PM?

~Stella~ · May 27, 2009

Nope. Apparently I have an evil squigglefree twin that's stealing my identity and my pms!

Actually, the forum upgraded a few days ago, a quickie look at the members list suggests anyone with characters in their name has a problem.

Thanks, though.

It is a result of the abnormal charachters in your chosen name.

It has to do with the characters in your member name. You've not lost any post counts, I promise!

Continue reporting any oddities; little by little things are getting fixed. The recent upgrade bumped a few areas. Give our tech guys some time. Thanks!

Terri is right, its the special characters that are being used. Changing your username would fix the problem. If you would like to do that please send me a PM and we can fix it for you!

Just for fun, try to ignore yourself.

Yup. I have a link to my actual profile in my signature. Clicking on my avatar, or selecting my profile from the drop down menu take you to some other member that has never made a post. It keeps changing though - I have seen it go to at least 3 different user names, none of them mine.

Right now it goes to this guy: 89oo
It used to go here: Èíô0ðìàòîð

There was another one too, but I can't remember what it was.

You have to manually type it in the address bar.

EDIT

It has always been this way for me - it's not because of the upgrades.

...Although, now that I think about it - I think it did work right when I first joined.
