Mixed-up identities

[vibes]

I was looking at an old thread and noticed that a message Greg posted had my user ID on it. Another post, by Simon Weil, had Use3D's user ID on it. Could this be indicative of a serious problem with the board software?

Here's a screen shot:

Here's another example:

What thread?

[vibes]

It was in the political forum, entitled "Here's a bit of political trivia" or something like that. You should be able to get to it here:

Political Trivia

Or just do a search for "Nuremburg."

Pardon my selfishness, but as long as my posts don't come up as being written by that idiot Jazzmoose, I really don't care.

[Jim Alfredson]

I'm not seeing anything wrong in that thread.

[Brad]

I'm not seeing the issue here. Can you elaborate?

[Quincy]

I'm not seeing anything either, but on another (non-jazz) board I saw some strangeness relating to dates.

It seemed to be related to failure to program for leap days.

I just did the same search and entered the thread that way, and the same problems were still there. Perhaps it has something to do with my browser? I'm using the newest version of Netscape. I'll try IE and see what happens.

The problem was not there in IE. It must be Netscape.

I just loaded the page into Netscape 7.1 and had strange display problems too. Some lines of messages are displayed outside the message frame, and some messages are completely empty.

With Opera and IE it looks ok. So it seems to be a browser compatibility issue and not a database problem.
