OK, I don't really think anyone has been (purposefully) "tampering" with it, but I thought this title would get me the proper attention. :-)

I just checked my profile, and noticed there is a thread "Any programmers here?" listed as being one of the "Threads I flagged".

I never knew such a thread existed, and I know for sure I hadn't visited it until right now when I went there to check it. Furthermore... the thread has NO flags.
So how have I "flagged" it - and how did it stray onto my profile page, anyway?

Hey there guys and Gals, Sounds like a glitch,

We will alert admin and see if they can have a look in to it


Thanks for letting us know and sit tight while we try and sort it

OK... has anyone else noticed anything peculiar about their profile: unfamiliar threads etc.?
(I am not suggesting anything - just asking.)

Probably not connected , but my Avatar just went bye-bye, and I did nothing to cause it.

Apparently though, it is Imageshacks fault, not ATS as the whole site of Imageshack is down right now.


Funny tag though.

Just another ATS 'anomaly' like the time zone settings, its all twisted out of order. Plus when I first made this profile it said Ive started one thread, I hadnt started any.

Thank you very much, Tiloke and P-A-R-A-D-OX (did I spell that correctly? ).

D'you hear that, mods?

If you started your profile by adding the first comment, then you started a thread in the Comments section of your profile.

Just another ATS 'anomaly' like the time zone settings, its all twisted out of order.

Yes, but that "anomaly" affects all of us (those who live in the "wrong" zones, I mean ;-), whereas a thread mysteriously appearing in one's profile - and supposedly being flagged when it's not - is another thing.

Any further ideas on what might have caused this?

Maybe related...some of the threads I've bookmarked no longer lead to threads. I just get a general message which states:

ERROR: You've Requested A Page That No Longer Exists (it happens to the best of us) On July 28th, 2007, we underwent a significant upgrade to our servers and technology infrastructure. Part of that upgrade included some modifications to the information architecture across several sites. Perhaps you followed an old link, or used a bookmark to an old page, or, it may even be possible that you (or someone else) mistyped a link to our sites.

The bookmarked threads existed within the last 2 weeks (i.e were created in 2008 hence after the "significant upgrade") and worked fine up to the time of the above message's appearance.

Are some threads removed by ATS, moved to alternative locations or are they being hijacked mischievously?
