Post by Maude Fealy on Feb 22, 2020 8:45:27 GMT -8
Until now, a former member's mini profile to the left of their posts still showed that person's screen name even though it was no longer clickable. But now every single former member is showing up as 'Deleted' on both of my forums.
Even though those former members chose to remove themselves, it was nice to know who made which post. And former members sometimes come back. If they do, will their old posts still be attributed to 'Deleted'?
I'm wondering what the reason was behind that change.

Would you be open to sharing a link to a post made by a deleted member so that I can take a look?

]Would you be open to sharing a link to a post made by a deleted member so that I can take a look? I could copy and paste a post but I'm not sure what it would tell you. If you have deleted members on your own forum(s), and you can easily find posts that they made, you'll see what I'm talking about.

If you scroll through this list of threads, you still see the names of deleted members. support.proboards.com/board/3/general-forumsIf you are referring to your Sk****d forum, I am able to see what you are talking about on page 20 of the Historical thread. However, I am not sure whether or not this is something new that Proboards has changed.

Do you have an example? I still see usernames of deleted members here and on another forum where I am a member.

My name is usertest. I'll delete this account. Let me know if you still see my name.

Hmmm. Well, they definitely didn't register in 1970. I remember there used to be a bug where some of us ended up with blank private messages from 1979 or around there.
Is it possible that their registered name was "deleted"? (Probably not.)
If you view your forum in its default theme, do deleted members appear the same way?

Have just checked a forum,and deleted members are now showing as 'deleted ' instead of user name.
Can only surmise,but this may have something to do with https.
But not an expert.

Hmmm. Well, they definitely didn't register in 1970. Definitely not. The person whose post I quoted wasn't even born at that time. LOL! This January 1970 date for deleted members is not a recent change. I've been seeing it for quite a while. Is it possible that their registered name was "deleted"? (Probably not.) No it wasn't. If you view your forum in its default theme, do deleted members appear the same way? Yes, same thing on one of my forums. The other is entirely private so there's no way to view anything without being logged in.

Can only surmise,but this may have something to do with https. But not an expert. That was my first thought. But the post above by the person who deleted their account still shows their user name, with the word 'Deleted' underneath. This support forum is on HTTPS, as are my two forums. But I'm not an expert either.

My only thought,that action is after the change on a secure site.
So perhaps changes before the transition make a difference.
As it is the weekend,it is unlikely there will a definite answer for 48 hours or so.

I registered usertest 5 minutes before I posted and deleted it.
Also, bigballofyarn's link shows a bunch of deleted members on this forum where it still shows their name.
This is a puzzle.

It is. But has El Hombre says, we're not likely to get an answer before Monday. Good thing it's not a burning issue.
