Coding error on "My Posts" page
When I view the "My Posts" page on desktop (Win 10) the data in the "Location" column isn't correct. I've included a screencap of what I'm currently seeing. This particular one is amusing because the "Location" of the first post is "Russian mainland" LOL! I assure you, I was NOT on the Russian mainland when I made that post.
To me it looks like the routine that populates the fields in that column is grabbing data from the subject line of the message being replied to, instead of grabbing the name of the Forum where the message is posted. Note that the "Location" is correct in a few cases, the cases where my post was an OP. So, the data being retrieved is accurate for OPs, but not accurate for replies.
As someone who cut my teeth programming on IBM PC/XT machines in Basic, Pascal, & C(++++ whatever) & first wrote HTML using HotDog back when it was little more than a text editor, this is the kind of debugging that sounds like a fun challenge to me. Yes, fun! Call me a geek, but solving problems has always been fun for me.
Now, my fellow DUers, if I post this here will the DU coding gurus see it? Should I post it somewhere else? Thanks!
= new reply since forum marked as read
