well, after the forum re-arrangement i can't find my original message, so. . i'm posting it again. does it have to do with a 6.1 mod? not really. . but i don't really see any general help forum, so, i'm gonna try this again. .
i have been experiencing a very odd issue the last couple days. . it has happened 4-5 times now. for whatever reason, a users profile overwrites another users profile. . for example, i've had my profile (user #1) get overwrote with user #25's profile. . user #25 then has 2 profiles. and just a second ago, 2 peoples profiles got overwrote by the same problem; leaving 3 copies of that users profile.
i have been able to fix this issue by restoring my members/00000001.cgi file, for example. . but i have no idea why this is happening and it's problematic. any insight whatsoever is greatly appreciated!
oh, and my board is 6.1.0.2. the only change i did the day i began experiencing this problem had to do with the text output'd for the chat summary on the forums summary page.
