Profile Hack?
« on: February 10, 2021, 02:38:10 PM »
While logged on, I noticed a member (743AAB740) that I had not seen previously. When I checked its profile, our profile page was displayed. Any idea how this happened?

Just a glitch. It happens because the default of viewing a profile is this
https://www.freecatfights.com/forums/index.php?action=profile which says look at the current users profile.

Cant remeber the reason, but this does happen for a reason I forgot, but it pulls up your own profile not the one you thought your where going to see.

Called it a quirk of the system, but no your profile has not been hacked.

Anyone who never fails is someone who never tries

It isn't a hack. That profile was deleted so if for some reason it was still showing on the forum and you clicked on it then you would have been taken to your own profile.

If you look at the two profile links here both i clicked on of my own profile.
If you click on the one without the numbers at the end of it you will be taken you to you're own profile.
If you click on the one with the numbers at the end you will go to my profile.
That's just the way the system works. It isn't a hack or anything to be concerned about.
Have fun and tussle.
