I(accednditly) clicked on the last poster user name on the main page. It was in GD for the hello thread and the last poster was evo. But it brought up Chroots user page and not evo's!
Bug: Clicked on Wrong User Page (Evo Not Chroot)
- Thread starter scott1
- Start date
In summary, there is a bug on the main page where clicking on the last poster's username in a thread may bring up a different user's page. This happens because the last poster name is not updated immediately and the link is a function that goes to the last post. This is not a bug, but a feature designed to save processor power. However, this may not always match the actual last poster. Some people have found it confusing, but others see it as an opportunity to appear smarter than they are. It is unclear whether this will be fixed in the future.

I'm glad you clarified that, I was beginning to think that anyone trying to view my profile would get chroot. Actually, that's not bad, they'd think I was a lot smarter than I am.

(Actually, to be pedantic - knowing why it happens, and that there are no plans to fix it, does not make it any less a bug.)Greg Bernhardt said:
