Welp, this site's not working properly for me, for some reason. Shows none of my recent posts, and the See my activity page isn't much different unless I select something other than All Activity. Already tried disabling my adblockers. Any ideas?

    @LukeSavenije Help - I can't tell where I was the OP ? I'm too confused!

    Are we talking about the forum doing weird stuff? I've got one for you that colonel_mortis might not be happy I discovered. This isn't a bug. It's simply how the forum was programmed to work. You can make your status updates appear on other peoples profiles.

     

    For example:

    5x5 > LukeSavenije on Den-Fi's profile

     

    Kind of neat. Makes me wonder what else I can find.

    @Windows7ge I would consider that a bug, specifically, lack of input validation and flawed parsing on content requests being the cause.

    @2FA it is something that could get patched with something as simple as a if/else condition but the best I can understand as to why this works would be because the status updates aren't held in a folder on the hosting server under your account. They're likely held in a dedicated folder which the server fetches based on the input URL since there doesn't appear to be any check if the fetched update belongs to the requesting account would be why this works.

    Maybe store a unique ID for each user, then a separate randomised string that represents status updates created via the proper form?

    • 64-bit int USER_ID (post method, not get)
    • 32-bit int STATUS_ID (post method, not get)

    That combination of user and status IDs could be stored in a db, and used to verify whether a status update should actually exist or not ? Not sure if this method would work well, though. The number of status updates on this website is staggering...

    You lost me, I don't know that much about programming. LukeSavenije posted about it in the Bugs sub-forum and first to comment stated (kind of rudely) that to fix it would be pointless.
