I have never noticed this until today. Any idea what may have happened to cause this? The board was converted from Vbulletin. This is the only issue I've seen since switching to Xenforo a couple years ago.

Presumably an issue with the original import.

If its from that old, I've seen issues with earlier versions of VBulletin disconnecting user ids from posts during upgrades. I had this happen with a forum of mine a few years ago, and wrote a MySQL query to reconnect them.

It hasn't hurt anything, but it sure did give me a scare when I came across it.
