Something Weird

The_Davster - 13-7-2004 at 23:24

I was searching through the forum and came across an odd post.
http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=250
Look at the third poster, MrsBackfire. That member's rating is super administrator, but has a blank spot beside post number. I find this very weird. Is this just a result of a software error or something else?

Yes, I realize this topic is a bit inane, but this poster has got me curious.

The board software was still full of bugs back then...erh..well, it probably still IS, but to make a long story short, polverone had to edit the userdatabase by hand to delete said member.

It did this too to R1nGM45T3R (or something in the like), the explanion is pretty simple, all the user data were deleted except the username (why, i don't know). In the DB, the superadministrator state is 0, so when the code check it check for If x = 0 then SuperAdmin, and NULL (nothing) give 0 when you check. For the date well 1-1-1970 is the date 0 (1-2-1970 is 1, 1-3-1970 is 2...)
