TAZ Migrating to XF

[The Sandman]

When is that screenshot of the Notable Members list from? Because that's not what I see when I view the list - that's what it looked like before we installed the addon here. Regardless, it shows that both of your accounts still exist (and aren't banned) while at the same time the noppid account also exists (not visible in Notable Members as it's banned) with over 13,000 posts - many or most of which appear to be yours.

It is possible that I set you're email to a blank field back when you made it clear that you didn't want to receive any more emails from TAZ. It's also possible I did this with the noppid account way back when. If that is the cause of the problem it's indeed my fault but not due to a malicious alteration of your account. But it still doesn't explain how the two accounts "merged" yet both still exist separately. I asked Slavik about this shortly after the merge but he said there was nothing to be done about it. I was considering trying to merge the noppid account into the azhria lilu account but I have no idea what the outcome of that would be.

But the accounts weren't merged - they both exist. They've "overlapped' somehow.

I can take a look if you want and my access credentials are still valid.

Sure - let me know what you need.

Ummmm.

Can't you simply go to /admin.php?logs/admin and see what was done with the accounts. It's only happened recently, seeing as the screenshot shows 2 accounts that are now "magically" disappeared.

 

[The Sandman]

Sheldon, the accounts haven't magically disappeared. Since they are not active (as in logged in within the past month) they don't show on the Notable Members. That's the XenMods Notable Members addon, which we were running on AdEx back when you were an admin there.

I've already checked all logs and as far as I can tell, nobody manually merged the affected accounts – it appears that the noppid user doesn't have an email address.

If @The Sandman is correct in that he removed @Azhria Lilu's email as requested, then that would be the cause – not some malicious action that @Azhria Lilu has been keen to insinuate.

Actually I made no request. I'm not insinuating anything, I'm stating that you clearly mess things up.

Not to mention that after the conversion I had two accounts, so obviously I had email addresses on both otherwise the merge would have happened when Slavik converted the database.

At least get your stories straight between the two of you before posting, it'll stop you making look so idiotic.

Yeah, if you all say so. Doesn't matter to me. Just strange a post above The Sandman "considered doing it, but didn't know what would happen", and now, MAGICALLY it has!!!!! Oh praise be all those who doubt!!!! Let the light shine down!!!!!!!!!

Sign me up for these powers of thinking what might happen and then have it happen.

Um, as I said I considered merging the two accounts together as a way to fix the problem that occurred during the merge, but I didn't do so because I didn't know what would happen. The way the accounts are now are the exact way they came out of the merge. There's no magic involved.

Probably best to discuss any of the merging issues and how to handle them on TAZ.

Can't, I'm banned ROFL

Sorry Mike... no more posting from me on here

Couldn't you check the database and check to see if the concerned IDs have been manually changed/altered?

 

[borbole]

Taz is my favorite admin forum, along with the AE. Glad to see it on xenforo. Congratulations

Have you tried logging in with either of your accounts on TAZ? Everything (account wise) looks correct and correlates with the test board I set up. You shouldn't be banned. Can you just confirm this for me.

Nothing has been manually done. It looks genuinely like this is a display bug somewhere. Since a lot of re-organizing / merging / moving of forums / posts / threads was done following the convert to XF, and on top of that they had some server issues, I have a feeling it might just be bad luck.

The good news is I should be able to fix it

Nope, can't log in... I believe my email(s) was changed (possibly my passwords as well - although I can't confirm that one) so I can't reset the passwords.

Ok, you'd need to speak to the TAZ staff to sort that out, but im confident in saying your accounts have not been merged with Noppid, the post mix up seems like a display error only. I've given the guys a command to run which should sort it out.

Wonder why it didn't happen during the conversion, but much later. Weird. Thanks for looking into it, Slavik.

I'll regard this as a password change request. The password for both accounts will be changed and sent to you via PC. The you can log in and fix your profile, email, whatever... or not.

 

[Pereira]

So has user activity increased on TAZ now that they are using XenForo?

Looking very nice. Did you make the Top Posters Today and Recent Threads, Most Likes, etc. sidebar blocks or are they purchasable add-ons?
