Bit of an odd one an I dont know if anyone else has the same problem, but in the classifieds I cant see some of the users! I noticed the other day, but it was just stuff I was browsing, but now there is something I am quite interested in and I cant make contact! I posted a comment and reported it but have not got anywhere yet.

Anyone got any ideas...

Doesn't it say the "posted by *insert name*" under the post name?

e.g.

1996 Cooper Sportspack

I think this might have come up before - and it is a glitch in the classifieds program that is known of. Some users appear and some don't - Rest assured the little worker squirrels are grafting hard to get it sorted

Maybe Deathrow can shed some light on it.

[stickycreambun]

No thats the thing! Most do come up, but a few (including the one I am interested in) just have 'posted by ________'

The contact seller button brings up the PM, but with no recipient name!

Im glad its not just me going mental at least, thanks Mr 10's.

Could you take a screenshot of what you're seeing and which classifieds item it applies to?

This will allow us to see whether which usernames are viewable is different for everyone and it should help us start looking for the fault in the right place.

It's an odd one alright!

EDIT: Just had a look, I spy an Exhaust System for sale that doesn't have a seller, the UID for that one just points to a 0 so there hasn't been any seller information stored by the software. It'll take a deeper looking in to. At the moment, I can't even see the "Post an ad" button.

The one thing I can think of is maybe the ad was deleted by the user and the software hasn't dropped the ad properly.

Maybe an idea to put a notice up instructing people posting classifieds to include their forum handle until the issue is corrected.

Why don't you have the username as one of the drop downs when you enter and advert?
I.E like the price

This would not be a problem then and an easy fix??

If I'm understanding your suggestion correctly this would allow any user to post an advert under another users username.

We'll get looking at it ASAP.

Only if you didn't include a filter to check the added name wasn't the same as the users account name.

But if the issue is that the classifieds software can't read the users details in, then the same fault will occur .

while were there. i cant seem to declare my items as sold or edit them, it is telling me that i do not have the permission, is that because i put the add up on my girlfreinds laptop at hers and now im on mine and they have different ip adresses or is it just done by accounts?

Why if you had it in the same script as the price etc?
