I'm sure a few of us were doing double takes.

It's fine if not, just wondering

I'm clicking on some threads and getting a page where the posts don't relate and are dated in December 2011

Ie I cliked on molinkos thread " Something to think about when you hear those depressing polls" and got this repsonse:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023333

Went to molinkos profile and clicked the their lasted posted thread and got a thread and post also in December 2011.

Especially as the response I was reading kinda made sense. I didn't catch on immediately until I tried to view the other replies.

I wondered why they where showing posts from 2011. Thanks for letting us know, it saves from wasting your time in ATA.

are actually going back in time. Your mission is to hit the correct date and vote multiple time for Obama. You are off by a year. get it right, your country needs you! Oh. and by the way will you pick me up a loaf of wheat bread?

just got home and can't read some things in GD or link to my posts and OP's last night! I lost my EW thread!

LOL~ I went back to one of your Op's posted in 2011! Yikes!

Anything else you need to stock up on at 2011 prices while I'm there?

If you want a laugh go to the Home Page and click on Skinners post in The Left Column. I thought he'd finally given over to the pressure of running the sight when I clicked it!

I bought a really cool Red Sox t-shirt at a store that year. I spilled deck stain on it this summer. I can not find one like it anywhere. I love it because it is a lightweight fabric, so not too hot. Can you please get me another?

Replying to threads I never saw. Very weird

I guess we will just have to wait.

the threads are not what they purport to be and they may have close to 100 recs but no replies. i was going to watch the video of the 100 catcalls in a day. oh well.

I'll find it and send it to you.

it was very sweet of you to go to all that trouble!

I'm glad it wasn't some hacking job, as I'd feared at first.

I'm never coming back to this site again

...until after dinner.

I don't usually go to the announcements, so I wouldn't even have known about this if another DUer hadn't mentioned it.

Recs are being misattributed. If people recced one of the deleted threads, their rec has now been applied to whatever random thread the link goes to now. Even worse, random posts come up that are clearly from the middle of threads, but they come up WITH a rec box but without any link to the OP. So...it appears you are reccing the post...but are you actually reccing an OP that isn't visible?

I just followed a link to such a post, and I disagree with the post itself, but I think I loved the OP it was replying to. So do I unrec it because the post stands alone now, or rec it assuming that the rec still or will eventually apply to the thread I remember?

People should be aware of this so they can decide where they want their names attached and where they don't.

Gotta find some way to blame this on him.

clicking last post from several profiles sends me to random posts from other people dated 2011.

my Posts at all!

And, of course.. a Thread I made last on the Huge Turnout for Mary Burke and President Obama has lost all its Rec.. but, it's also infected right now. I replied to "hue" twice and it ended up under Hekate's post..

And, Major Hogwash just posted to NBachers and it ended up under a post of mine.

Help!

Good Luck in Fixing this.. and Thank You!

Op is still okay...yet I lost my EW Op.

I got home a short time ago and thought I lost my mind, Cha!

this morning I had 1.. oh well, it's up to 6 now. LOL

I've been so busy trying to get this straightened out I haven't had time to go check and see if I can get to any other of "My Posts&quot during that timeline) besides "fishwax"!

Btw, that "transcript" you posted in the EW thread was great.. I posted it around on another thread and got 3 replies but I haven't been able to get to them YET!

I tried my comment and your thread in GD. I am still on time travel mode. I go back to 2011.



Thanks for posting the EW transcript! It was indeed awesome!

Cha!

on the 1st.. and reply that way.

Just tried again.. Yep, Fishwax has all of my posts! This is the one to the Transcript.. I'm going to go find it and I'll report back.

Frustration she

can see by the thread that it was a perfect place for it..

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5731386

Fishwax is in my journal, too!

Thank you, I wondered how my post was redirected to a topic I hadn't commented on.

talking about. Interesting.

I thought this was Facebook, for a while there.

I love my president.
And I love DU, warts and all.

Happy Halloween.

Links to posts and threads that were deleted in the glitch now link to posts from 2011. Apparently, a rec given to a post that subsequently disappeared has instead now been applied to whatever thread the link goes to now.

Here's how I discovered it. While browsing "My Recommendations," I found that ten of the links to the fifteen most recent threads I recced were now mistitled and led to random threads. Then I realized that all those threads had recs from me!

These included threads I would never have recced, including a troll thread describing DU as "by far the worst website I have looked at lately" and a thread praising Obama as a populist.

I recommend that everyone check your rec lists and read the titles carefully, follow the links, and unrec whatever needs unreccing. Nobody here should risk having their name associated with a random post that may happen to be insensitive, bigoted, or reflective of political views they do not share.

Even worse, random posts come up that are clearly from the middle of threads, but they come up WITH a rec box but without any link to the OP. So...it appears you are reccing the post...but are you actually reccing an OP that isn't visible?

People should be aware of this so they can decide where they want their names attached and where they don't.

I hope the old threads will be back and easily findable soon so that re-recs can be made and our history here is intact. There were some excellent threads that deserve to be searchable and accessible to everyone.

I'm a Star Member! This shouldn't be happening to ME! Let the freeloaders who don't contribute money to this site get all... whatever.

end of rant



Oh, and in case this gets misposted.

I am reporting no problem with my rec list.

I am a little disappointed.

~ littlemissmartypants 🙇

It displayed something like 90 posts, but you only saw ten of them. And none of them were on ignore, either.

Most bizarre. You broke DU!!!!

LOL!

When would the '24 hours' start? I think a lot of good threads are getting lost.

Where the hell is this?

the body of the text had nothing to do with either title as far as I could tell.

It was a post by Third Way Manny ...

So I said, "well, OK" and never realized it was a glitch. :/

though since the weird post looked like an op of wtf sort of statements

And not to the reply that I adjudicated.

Is that part of this problem or something else?
