[BUG] "Former member". Or not?

[Jelena]

Something odd in the blogs today. On the home page, one of the most liked blogs shows up as authored by "former member". This is to be expected if someone didn't update their profile settings. But if you open the blog, the author's name is shown in full glory.

Is there some bug or did a transport go to PRD prematurely or something? Not a problem per se (unless you're the affected person) but seems worth mentioning.

Hi Jelena,

Until all of the implemented privacy setting functionality has been run on all Community platforms, this will pop up here and there, because some things will be out of synch. After time it will show Former Member everywhere for a person with their privacy setting set to Do Not Allow.

Regards,

Audrey

Thanks for a reply, Audrey! There is a post in Coffee Corner though that points out that even active members are displayed as "former" sometimes.

If it's the post I think you're referring to, that was an early hiccup that was fixed before already.

I've seen this in Q&A as well -- person asks question, name and everything visible - there are answers.... then it says Former member, but you click on it - it shows normal profile.

Thanks, Denis! I just found a post in the Coffee Corner about a Q&A issue. Looks like definitely something is off here. Will wait for some official response.

As Audrey mentioned, we can expect some inconsistencies/delays in the next 24 or so hours as the work on the updates across all Community systems continues. Thanks for your patience!
