It happens quite often. But who is the unknown poster and just what topic are they posting to?

It doesn't show the posters name only a "question mark.." but perhaps that is their screen name... "?"

    No, he is the only topic starter. Well not quite, other admin/s also pose under the one name.

    My point is, where was that post? i could not find it in any topic!

    Hi Paul,

    Sometimes, when the system generates forum posts from emails we recieve, it doesn't properly translate their name from the email to a username for the forum - we usually repair this pretty quickly, hence why you can't find that post again!

    You may have noticed that some posts had an email address as a username - this is a symptom of the same problem, and although we've pretty much fixed it at source (we cut anything after an @), it may still happen again.  We don't want to be publicising people's email addresses, so please report any post you see with an email address as the user!
