Not worried.
That happened 4 years ago.
How very observant of you!! Sounded like she was not worried either, as that wasn't the point. But hey, I get it
This is sheer curiosity, not something that needs attention.
This old thread shows two different members as 'thread starter.' Of course I thought perhaps two separate threads had been merged.
But look at its #1 and #2 posts. They're from the same date, though no time is shown, and from different members. They're the two posts marked 'thread starter.'
It's clear from reading #2 that it's a reply to #1; it is not the same issue posted as a question in a different thread, which then got merged.
So, how can two people be one thread's OP? If I had to bet, my money would go on it somehow having to do with both inactive members' label of 'guest.'
So that is what it looks like when a user is deleted, or that is what it used to look like. We do it different now. But, in the old delete account thread, before I started making the deleted users have unique names, they all showed as 'thread starter' as well. It has to do with forum identifying the users as the same due to the state of their account. So yes, it looks odd but just one of those weird quirks of the forums.
