ForumBug: Will Member 88674 Please Stand up?

Am I the only one that periodically has personal information showing up in the forum message listing?

In the example below, it's the user number (David's info). Periodically it's peoples' email addresses. I've tried several browsers but they all show the personal information. And it's clearly a software glitch on Logos' side since if you click on it the message, Logos returns a 'can't find it' message (no sheep). Usually several refresh-pages finally bring in the correct information.

The thing with the user number happens infrequently but seems to become more common lately. The email-address thing was seen some time ago by you and me and some others, but I recall only this single event and had hoped this was eliminated quickly and forever. How often do you see it?

For me, the adress is a high-priority issue, whereas I wouldn't call the user number "personal information" - at least the bug is no breach of it, since it's displayed on mouse-over one's nameavatar picture or the Forum Activity link anyway.

This has been reported several times. It seems this "can't find it"-bug is closely related to the number thing.

David Ladiges is aware of the bug and has tried to do something to fix it but it seems to be still there. He's unable to reproduce it reliably so has not been able to track it down.

I still periodically see the email address pop up. I'm not particularly concerned with the number per se; only that the 'pull' routine seems to pull the fields irregularly and what else can it pull accidentally?

The 'can't find it' is also interesting, since it doesn't necessarily demand a visibly bad 'pull'. But that one's been pretty frequent in the last 2-3 weeks for me. I generally have to wait a little after several buffer clearings and page refreshes to finally get it to work, even trying several browsers. This one seems related to especially long threads (calculation of the page).
