For some reason all the posts by new guest Everybody Loves Monkeys are showing up strangely - their name isn’t a link, and their Post Count/Location fields are odd. Here’s an example, but all posts by this poster are the same, though I am able to see their profile by clicking on their name in a forum’s thread listing.

Just curious as to why, or if it’s some bug…

**TMINC** , you’re not crazy. I came over to this forum just to see about the monkey business.

Sorry, that was bad.

Just sayin’ I noticed it too.

We’ve looked into this and it appears to be some sort of database error with how she went in the system. We’re going to see if reregistering fixes her posts.

Everything should be cool now.

I think that was a corrupted database entry, of which we have had exactly . . . three in over 55,000 posts. That’s not too bad, though it’s sure annoying when it happens to you.

We removed the bad registration, they re-registered, and all should be fine now. We’re not going to fix the few weird posts, we’re just moving on.

Anyway it’s over now, nothing to see here, looky-lous, move along.
