Bug in CP Forum?
-
I believe I may have found a bug on the CP forum If you change your name, then submit a message, then try to modify the message you can't as the password is invalid I may have done something wrong, but I thought I should mention it after discussing this with David Wulff Basically I changed my name from: Peter Mayhew to Peter Mayhew :cool: This was mainly as I was curious if the smiley face would appear next to my name in each posted message. When I realised it didn't work, and it only printed the text ":cool:" next to my name i thought I’d remove it. But on doing so I was asked for my password. After several attempts I realised something was wrong. --- Peter M

I don't know really why this is, or whether it is intended behavior, but what happens is when you change your name on a post a random password is assigned to it. You can get this password by doing the "forgot password" link on the "enter password" page; it'll send an email to the account listed on your settings page with the password for that message, which you can then enter and edit the message.

And on the pedestal, these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings, Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains.

Since changing my name back I am now able to modify all other messages. I only sent one message under this new name which was was merely a test message. So I’m ok now. Obviously your aware of the problem I experienced since reading your reply message. Thanks for replying. On another point, I thought that we were able to change our names to post anonymously. Would that mean that you would be given a new random password each time you changed your name to make an anonymous post? --- Peter
