Missing usernames... sometimes...

24 replies

For the last few weeks or so, I've been having an odd problem on the desktop site, using Chrome. In that, every so often when I open a thread, all the usernames are 'blank' (See screenshot)
If I refresh, they appear....

Weird. Does it only happen on Chrome, Binary?

well, I only use Chrome. I did try and test it on IE, but it's intermittent, so if it happens I will screenshot it, but... ooo errr

I've had the same, also on Chrome, on laptop.

GrouchyKiwi · 18/05/2016 15:53

I have it too. Ditto Chrome on PC.

cozietoesie · 18/05/2016 16:40

It looks like some sort of Chrome disjoint then.

Hmm I've just had this on my Chrome too! We'll send it over to Tech. More screenshots would be amazing if possible. Thanks everyone.

When it happens, I will screenshot it, and try and work out what is going on.

It only appears to happen 'one time' on the page/thread opening.

GrouchyKiwi · 19/05/2016 10:54

I sometimes get it when refreshing a thread.

I do like giving tech people a nice intermittent problem to deal with

Tech are working on it! Fortunately, this is an issue that's pestering me too so Tech can see it happening first hand.

00100001 · 19/05/2016 13:35

ah, have they worked out what might be happening?

Naturally, it hasn't happened to me since posting!

cozietoesie · 19/05/2016 14:32

That's to be expected, Binary.

Oooh, is it better for everyone?

It's not better for me

00100001 · 19/05/2016 15:43

Well, I won't know until it happens again... or doesn't

If it happens again, I'll respond here

OP posts:

GrouchyKiwi · 19/05/2016 16:04

It hasn't happened to me since posting either. Gotta love technology.

Sorry Becca.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 19/05/2016 18:08

I haven't had this problem for a few days. It happened a lot over the previous couple of weeks though.

GrouchyKiwi · 26/05/2016 12:03

If Tech is still looking into this it's just happened to me again when I refreshed a long thread. Screenshots here. On laptop with Chrome.

GrouchyKiwi · 26/05/2016 15:18

And here's an interesting variation from the same thread.

it seems to happen when the page takes a long time to load (as MN often does)

Funnily enough I've just had this too Binary - it seems to fix when I refresh the page.

We'll get Tech to take another look, thanks very much for flagging
