Amusing forum bug.

[Gleeok]

...that I keep forgetting about or ignoring for the past year or two. Check this out:

Ever wonder why a bunch of random threads spread across seemingly random forums over the last couple of years have a thread rating of 5 stars, while others don't? (ie; zc bug threads is the most hilarious.) It's because any thread that I reply to since the forum upgrade get's automatically set to that. Presumably because I am so awesome that vbulletin simply cannot process so much awesome at one time.

So, starting now, you may send me $5 via paypal and I will reply to your thread, guaranteed, or your money back. But wait, that's not all. For the first 50 callers I'll also include a one-of-a-kind hand-crafted ASCII artwork at the end of each post. I call this one "the birdy".

Step 1. Click Go Advanced to reply to this thread.
Step 2. Find "Rate."

Is it checkmarked? If Yes, go to step 3. If No, go to step 6.

Step 3. Uncheck it.
Step 4. Reply.
Step 5. Repeat from Step 1.
Step 6. Reply telling me that it is not checkmarked.

[Gleeok]

Nope. It's not checked.

Thread's not rated. I think you have a stalker that really likes any time you post.

[Gleeok]

I hope it's not Kathy Bates. But seriously, I have confirmed this by trying to rate previous threads. I get the message that I've already rated this thread, even though I have not. ...I don't know.

I have noticed a lot of threads lately do this lately though I've never noticed that it does it when Gleeok post?
Hmm... I guess someone likes Gleeok's post?

Seriously weird. Go look at the first couple of pages in any forum and you can see it.

[edit] lol. I swear I didn't just rate this thread.

[Ventus]

Okay I'll admit that is strange on how its doing that. XD I guess the forum has a soul and it really likes Gleeok
