Usernames switching galleries!

DST Daddy · January 11th, 2007, 01:03 AM

Since we upgraded, some of our users have had their galleries traded! For example:

This user, her username is Bretta. But now her entire gallery is showing up as Paisley Blues:

http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/...500&ppuser=628

All of those photos are hers but that isn't her username.

Help!

Makes me not want to upgrade. My users are possesive of thier photos.

What did you do besides upgrade? There is something more you are not telling us like maybe switching forums?

No. Our forum is not integrated with our gallery.

Here is another example. This user's name is nicunurse. But it's showing up as SherryGreen:

http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/...500&ppuser=161

In both cases, the email that is registered under the incorrect username is their CORRECT email address. The original usernames (bretta and nicunurse) have disappeared from the gallery altogether.

It seems like I can probably just change their usernames back to their originals and that would be that. But I don't know how that will affect the real SherryGreen and Paisley Blues.

I'll email SG and PB and see what they see when they click on their gallery link.

Okay well there is no ability to change a username in Photopost. So there is no way to get photos showing as some other user. The userid on the photos can not change. Did you change their name? If so then just use the scan database tool under admin to update usernames on photos and comments and we will pull the new username based off the userid
