Title: [BUG] Profile 38659 always redirects to our account
Post by: Freemind on May 10, 2024, 08:43:07 PM
I was reading a thread and saw two posts saying that profile 38659 was redirecting to their accounts.

Hello. Can I teleport but my name in btt is different?
New account btt: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3628666
And this is my old account : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1578678

Altcointalks : https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?action=profile;=38659

Why did you add my profile link at the bottom?

I think this is a glitch. I also click the link he posted and directly to my profile too.

After testing it I have verified that both users are right, since the link in that profile also redirects to my account, and I suppose to the accounts of all users.

It should be like this https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?action=profile;u=38659.

He deleted or forgot the "u" between the semicolon and equals in the link, that's why the link is only valid up to "...profile" and leads to the user's own profile page who clicked on it.

+1 This is what happened, I tried to run this URL[1], if what follows profile; is not valid then action=profile will only be executed

@bee, @hugeblack, thanks to both of you for the clarification, now I understand where the problem comes from. At first I thought it might be a "serious" error. but I see that it is not like that. I hadn't noticed those small but important details.

Sounds like people panicked and confused after clicking the url and redirect to their own profile :P I first thought there is an embedded different url tag but after checking it, it is in wrong format.  ;D

It's not about panicking either, I didn't say that :o. But it did seem very strange to me at first glance and without paying more attention to the details (that was my fault) from the beginning. Now that we know that it is not a bug we can be calmer about this matter ;)
