    Keep seeing this mysterious John (is this a bug?)

    I keep seeing this mysterious John but neither his posts nor his threads can be seen.
    Just his username and erratic avatar icon on the forum home indicating his presence.

    Is this a bug or just problem with my browser?
    Just wondering since I don't see anybody else talking about it.

    There are millions of individuals bearing the same name, I don't recall seeing that once but, possibly I am familiar with the name John and it just doesn't register?

    Other than his wobbly avatar, does John say anything?

        Is he serious about the co-founding VB?

              I'm sure Mr. Percival is reading up on what's going on these days with the company he started 13 years ago and doing this:



              By the way is the "Go Advanced" button supposed to do anything? If not, it should just be removed.

                No version of vBulletin ever had native [youtube] tags.

                Embedded videos do work if you use the [video] tag with the full video URL.

                    If my hunch is correct, he may be posting something all these time but we just can't see them.
                    Then again, maybe just a bug.

                        ...and that company is ready to be sold for a bargain price...



                        vB5 is unequivocally the best forum software, but not yet...

                          It amazes me how Johns lack of input can cause so much intrigue. Thank you John for providing a light chat forum. It is almost like watching TV.
                          A person could be ensconced in a heavy movie, captivated by the real life documentary that is VB 5, then, all of a sudden...

                            Same here. I see that error (?) very often on the home page.

                              I bug called John, only vB under IB control could produce a bug with a actual real name.
