Strange Things ?

Anyone notice any strange occurrences around here ?

Vanishing Profile Photos :

I signed on this morning to find my profile photo gone. All that was there was an initial on a pastel background.

A short trip down to the “Friends” section of my page brought the discovery that my friends were now without “profile photos.”

This phenomenon appeared to be transient. The profile photos would appear and disappear as one went from page to page on this web site.


Time, The Ultimate Insult :

Time travel seems possible on xRodent.

When my “profile photo” returned it was accompanied with a “Status Line” that was listed as from “53 years ago.”

Uh … I was not born then. Do not age me before my time. I would prefer a long life. :)

Additionally, my understanding is that this site was founded in 2007. This would also make a “53” year old post impossible.


So what is the problem?

As a jaded computer and software engineer, I suspect someone has been tinkering with the code. A cardinal rule in my profession is “Do not break the code.” It appears someone at xRodent missed the memo.

So, how about taking a break from consuming liquid holiday cheer, and fix the software?

Happy Holidays,
