That's the name that shows in my tab when I look at my "my account" page.

I do not understand.

Mine shows that name, too.


Have delightfully devious day,

Not seen here

I can't see that happening when I use the internal window to look at your login and my acconts page, either one of you.

Let me know if it is still happening tomorrow and we will have piper look at it.

If I read a blog, or similar,

If I read a blog, or similar, like this, then hit 'My Account', Stephe2006 shows up. If I then move to Track, or another tab, it changes to Bibliophage. and it then stays on Bibliophage. It seems to be a 'stuck' title.


I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.

It goes away

If you hit the "View" button on the page it fixes it.

This is ......

If you look in the top right of the pic this is what we're talking about.
(Haven't tried on my pc so it might be a tablet thing.

It's happening on mine also. (Thanks for the screen shot -- not sure I'd ever have noticed it otherwise.)

Piper is aware of this and is investigating. A new module was installed over the weekend and it appears that this is having an effect on metadata which some browsers are attempting to display. It's not a hacker.

We reported this last week already

so it won't be something that was added this last weekend!

There was a thread called something along the lines of :"Something I noticed but probably isn't important." I know that Angharad was one of the repliers to the thread, and myself - amongst several others.

I Think You May Have Attached This...

...to the wrong comment. It was the number in brackets that the "Something I noticed..." thread referenced, as Set3 commented below. That one seems to go back to last Thursday, if I'm reading my browser history right. (It wasn't there on Wednesday, US west coast time.)

The only reference in my history to a page titled "Stephe2006" came less than nine hours ago.

No Eric, I didn't

This was here last week already --- in a thread started by Set3

I included this very point in that thread.

So FAR longer than 9 hours.

that's wierder than...

...the |1| that accompanies the tab label.

I know that some said it seems to indicate a page number but it still seems weird to me that it still shows up where there isn't an option to switch to the second page that isn't there.

Also, the Stephe2006 thing shows up when I check my account too. It did go away when I clicked on the view icon but returned when I clicked on my account again. It probably is just a programming glitch like Erin seems to suggest. Either way, it doesn't hamper access and enjoyment to the site so I'll just shrug it off since it seems to only show up when I check my account.

I'm apparently now Sam Dynes.

Wellllllllllll

To be honest if someone hadn't pointed to it I would never have seen it and to be honest does it make a bit of difference? It doesn't seem to affect anything any of us do or say so outside of it being out of place like a splotch of paint on the floor, so does it really matter?

It does sort of matter, because when you work with computer systems, unexplained behaviour can be indicative of an underlying issue - including security related. In this case, it means that at least one part of the system thinks that people are _someone else_. In a worst case scenario, someone might be able to use that to fool the system into doing something as that user, to disguise their own behaviour.

I spend a lot of time hunting down unexplained behaviours.
