Alright, translation for anyone who doesn't run a Forum
Basically, I don't know if anyone knows much about databases, but the Forums are. There are lots of different parts of a database - for instance, for users, there's their username, IP Address (your computer's special number), e-mail address, when they signed up etc. There's also a unique number - the user ID. No accounts have the same number, it's the one exclusive way of identifying someone. Threads and posts all have an ID too - no matter what you call the thread, so long as this part: 27231 is in the address, it works fine.
Now, on the User ID 1051 on the 12th April 2011, a glitch occurred and all name links and some features broke.
Any UID before this date worked fine (so if you swap an inactive user with a Mod, the Mod gets the features and someone who never uses the Forum doesn't).
I thought it might have been an issue in the ACP (Admin Control Panel - the Forums don't just turn up and be all lovely and shiny, there's a more complicated bit behind the pretty front) where the usergroups (that's basically a load of different groups with different things they can do on the Forums. Admins can edit anyone's posts, access the ACP etc; SuperMods can edit anyone's thread titles, etc).
Internet coding language - HTML - could let them change each usergroup's name colour (eg. make Admin Red, SuperMod green and Mod Blue etc), but that would also include links in the name.
I thought that maybe there'd been a mistake and they'd accidentally created a new usergroup that had guest features. Just me thinking of the only thing I could.
Hope that helped explain it.
Thanks for this. I understand now! I remember that day, I was so active in the forums to reach 100 posts so I could be a Senior Member.Alright, translation for anyone who doesn't run a Forum

12th April? That's probably not possible - that would mean your account was created before the glitch, and therefore you'd have full editing features...which you clearly don't.
Whoops, I meant someday in June when I joined: I was active that day in the forums to reach 100 posts so I could be a Senior Member.
I still wonder how they haven't figured out how to fix the glitch.
This has possibly just confused me even more. All I got from that was GM can use his super powers and give CD the account of an inactive user and I'm not going to try understanding the technology behind these forumsAlright, translation for anyone who doesn't run a Forum
