FWIW - I've noticed that people that have posted in personal Freeola forums(MyForum)have these posts included in the 'recent posts' shown in their user profile.

But following these links always fails.

Is this supposed to be like this?

You're completely right. These names shouldn't be appearing there at all, it's of no use to anybody what-so-ever.

I shall speak with the programming team and get this sorted.

Well that bit looks fixed, b u t...

Looking on the 'Who's online' page and picking a user I can see they've made posts, with for example 35,000+ words but as I'm guessing they are all in a personal forum rather than this Freeola one the 'recent posts' is empty.

Wouldn't it be better not to show users from personal forums in your 'Freeola who's online' page?
It looks like it's all in a cookie so should be easy to implement?

As personal forums(MyForum) grow this will only get more confusing over time... There could also still be some room for abuse as I'm not sure if Freeola are monitoring the tag lines and gaming data for personal forum users.

I'm only trying to help - but if you think I'm nit picking and would rather not have the feedback just let me know. :¬)

Yeah I mentioned this in my recent thread. I didnt know whether it was customer forums or the staffies doing some testing. As a lot of the thread titles were a bit silly and one even had swear word :O
