Title: Very wierd message bug possibly
Post by: Aurelius Venport on March 05, 2013, 05:48 am
I have been refreshing my main page to check messages in the hope my message to a vendor had been responded to.
Upon refreshing my page, I noticed I had a message. The message was from a vendor I have worked with in the past but it was not to me - in fact - it was a message with another member! Someone was inquiring about a package..I also noticed some btc in my account even though it was at $0 after my last purchase and transfer from the wallet.


Just letting you guys know.

The message glitch really spooked me as it is sensitive and obviously concerning.

Thanks

Sounds like somebody screwed up and sent it to your name instead of the right person.  I don't know exactly what's making you think it was to someone else and the system delivered it wrong, rather than human error.

I could see the original message from XXX member to the vendor and the vendors reply.

upon further investigation no other bugs / etc were noticed. I was not able to reply to the message and didn't see any other data. It appeared isolated.

So basically you saw the entire message history as though your username were the name of the customer that the vendor had this string of messages with?  Yeah, that's pretty odd.  Definitely worth mentioning -- even if you're wrong, no worries.  Better safe than sorry :)
