Hi,

I love using this site but not too long ago a problem started to show.

When people reply to my comments, there's no notification.

Where there's usually an avatar, there's now a question mark... even though the avatar still shows in the settings.

When posting a comment, my name is not blue (clickable).

And I can't edit my own comments anymore...


I guess these problems are part of a bigger problem in the background because they all showed up at the same time and they seem to be about my Planet Minecraft account not being properly linked to the comments I post.

This problem only shows with new comments, comments and projects already posted are unaffected.

Please help,

Rene Zaal

I thought it was just me.
Here is the link where my comments aren't linked to my profile: http://www.planetminecraft.com/texture_ ... k-256x256/ the comments are quite recent.
Could you please link them Cyprezz?

One thing that you need to remember is to be logged in when you comment. I don't know if it has been changed to require login but you used to be able to comment without login by just entering a name in a box above the comment. If you do that your comment will not be linked to an account because you were not logged in. I know that Swarmer2010 commented on one of my submissions before he joined the site in this way. If un-logged comments are no longer allowed then I have no idea, though it could somehow be accessing that posting method instead of the proper one instead.

Thank you Cyprezz.

I don't know if it'll help the bug tracking but I suspect the same bug hit Don_Esselo's comment on his project laputa 6 days ago

Looking into it. Saw 4 of your comments not linked to your account. I linked them. I'll look into why they were orphaned Since they weren't linked to your account, system was unable to notify you that others replied so the two issues are related.

Can you link me to a project where you commented and this issue occurred? I'll look into it. Anyone else with similar issue?
