THIS WAS NOT POSTED BY ME, animagic! Something amiss with the forum again!

I posted the above

animagic here (regardless of what the forum indicates as user). This has happened before. I have no explanation. Some sort of bug in the forum software.

UPDATE: Apparently I’m me again, which is a relief!

So we can try to understand what is going on, can you clarify that you posted the screenshot but it appeared as if posted by Animagic?

And if so, did you just click Reply when posting or use some other method? Thanks.

i posted and replied to my post and then i saw both were animagic
