Odd topic list observation

Post by Flump »

There is a curious difference between the lists of topics shown depending on whether I am logged in or not. Logged in I see the Rum and Rhums topic, logged out it doesn't appear on the list. :? Hardly the end of the world as we know it, just one of those odd things.

Thank you for flagging it.

Just had a look. This is a difference in how the list is created.

As a "guest" you have no privileges so get a bland /simple result from the database query.

As a known user you have a higher privilege and the software runs a different query, which returns different result from the database.

Will spotted that man.
