Alert System is Linking to the Wrong User

[MisterPenguin]

Hello!

So, I got this alert (the first one saying that GrandCanyonConcourse quoted me in the WDW Question thread)...

But when I click on it, I go to...

Which is not me. In fact, I have not posted in that thread at all.

This happened also about a few days ago. I shrugged it off as a one-time glitch. But for it to happen again, I'm smelling a database corruption.

Thanks.

No database corruption.

The user had originally quoted you, then edited the post removing your quote. The alert was fired from your original inclusion in the post.

Ah, OK.

Just was weird for that happen twice to me so close to each other.

Thanks!

I think sometimes multi quote is a problem. A user hits quote in a different thread, goes to another, then embeds that quote along with another. That looks to be what happened here.

Which is why I'm thankful for the new Delete Drafts button!
