Which ISP do you use? |

It happened to me a while back. I even munched it, just incase. I logged in as kandiikane and that name appeared.

Was that Etisalat, by any means? Earlier, it was caused by a bug, but this time it looks like an ISP caching issue. |

No, 02. |

Yes, mine happened with Etisalat. Not on only Nairaland, on another forum I belong to too. |

Seun, i think you should do something about this before damage is done because anyday a malicious user ![]() |
Re: . by Nobody: 1:38pm On Aug 30, 2012 |
I taught I was the only one experiencing it. Not once but twice in less than a month of existence in this website. I can't remember the usernames but both had zero post and zero topic created. I don't use etisalat. |
Re: . by Nobody: 3:16pm On Aug 30, 2012 |
I think i've experienced this bug in the past. Implementing a column of default value of zero for everyone will fix the bug, so to delete a user, you only have to change the value to 1 this helps compared to deleting a user completely from the database, there comes a time some "delete user" queries never finish execution, especially with a website of a million user, rarely happens but it does. the result? a user with actual ID 1177 can end up having 1177 on user_auth table and 1179 on user_detail table using 1179 to select usernames sitewide will produce what just happened. I may be wrong. |
Re: . by Seun(m): 3:25pm On Aug 30, 2012 |
I see what you mean, but we don't have a delete user feature yet, so different users can't have the same Id in the current design. |

webdezzi:I don't think this will happen in a scenario where the DB is normalized and queries are in transactions. |

I experience this a lot like 3ce a week sef, but once you navigate to another page it usualy corrects itself, hope Seun and his team find a way to resolve this as soon as possible before baby hackers are tempted to hone their exploitation skills on Naija's most important forum. BTW: I use 21st century not etisalat. |

If you experience it again, please report it here. We've added a directive that should prevent the problem from happening. |
