Alright, so i've lurked for a while and have decided to join to party...

So why are all my posts going in as unknown when i'm logged in with a different user ID? There's got to be a toggle somewhere that I'm missing...

Forum glitch...
Mar 8, 2006 8:18AM PST

Last month some major upgrades were performed on the forum software and the servers, and since there have been some issues as a result. Users appearing as 'unknown' is one that's still lingering around, randomly affecting a few newbies and older members. At this point the engineers believe they have a solution and should be deploying it sometime in the next week. Until then enjoy your anonymity, Mr. Unknown. Happy
