Australian Politics Forum - The 'ex Member' issue.

Bewdy New Member Offline Australian Politics Posts: 39 Gender:	The 'ex Member' issue. Jan 23^rd, 2019 at 9:30pm FD...can you please post when this has been fixed. The obvious and immediate concern arises from what Setanta has posted.....that anyone could now randomly become an 'ex Member.'

How does one get to become an ex-member? Can ex-members post? Is it a virus/malware? Inquisitive minds want need to know.

Reply #2 - Jan 24^th, 2019 at 10:14am admins have the ability to deactivate accounts altogether - after which they appear as "ex member". I'm assuming though in this case it wasn't done deliberately.

I could not find a clean version of Gordon's account so will have to look for that tomorrow. For the rest, your password may have been reset to an old one.

Is everyone able to log back in? I will run some forum maintenance scripts soon. You might loose access to the forum for a bit.

If I restored your account and you lost your post count that should be corrected now. Not sure if we were still having the page turn issue on any threads, but if you recall any please check if that is also fixed.
