Strange "redirections".

[R.A.F.]

On a number of occasions while at the forum index, I have "clicked" on a user name to go to their profile. Instead of linking to that particular profile, I find myself at a totally different users profile...

Has anyone else encountered this?

edited to "attempt" to clarify...

This happens when I try to go to the user's profile from the name listed as the last post on thread, not when I try to link from the user list at the bottom of the page...

I think it might be because of a delay between when you refreshed the page and when you clicked on the user.

Clicking on a user on the index(excluding "who is online") take's you to the profile of the last person who posted in that forum- regardless of the actuall name you clicked on.

For example say Farmerjumpadon posted the last message in that forum at 8:15, and you view the index as it was at 8:15 but by the time you click on his profile the time is 8:20 and say for example Josh had left a message at 8:17 you woukd be directed to his profile...

That was exactly my line of reasoning. (I should have included this in the OP.)

I went to the last post of the thread, saw that the last poster was indeed as listed in the index, then went back to the index and it still linked me to a different poster.

And I "refreshed" at every "step".

It's only happened to me 2 or 3 times...I just thought it was strange...
