LOL...this is interesting. Looks like I have an anonymous admirer. When I go to my account settings and see who is following me, I have one user that is called "Anonymous" and there is no other info about that user. Wonder how this happens?

Yes, I have one of those too. I have a sneaking suspicion that I might know who they are (my anon follower, not yours).

Curses! And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids! Cheers! -- Smug

LOL :-)

They are followers who no longer have a buzztouch account. ;) David https://buzztouchmods.com

Once (a year ago) I posted in the forums, and it did not post as my name, it posted as Anonymous User. Jake

@MrDavid that makes sense re the unregistered users. Can you explain why I have in my account view "Followers (1)" yet when I click in to it I get "You have no followers. If you're searching, try changing your search criteria." other than the fact that nobody loves me do you know who or what this could be??? Would this be the same thing?

Sounds like something needs a little adjusting on our end :-) --If an account is removed they should not be following anyone anymore, right? LOL --If your left menu shows (1) follower, clicking it should show you (1) follower - right? LOL I've added this to the growing list of gotchas we need to find and fix.

David, should it be possible to even have anon followers? Its a little spooky...

@AlanMac: No, it shouldn't. Technically, this just means that you have a "follower" in our database that does not have any user-details. This can only occur in the case where somebody followed you, then removed their account (because you have to be logged in to follow folks). We'll iron out why you're still seeing these, you shouldn't. I shouldn't either, an do! Ha.

@David Good to see you are still taking an active view of minor bug fixing but... Please don't take my one (albeit non existent) follower away #quietlyweepinginthecorner I was enjoying the concept of a mystery admirer. I've been away from the app world for a while so I am loving all the new features and capabilities of buzztouch. Keep up the good work :) BTW I passed through Monterey last november, I wish I'd have looked you up but I didn't realise it was the same place until too late (I can be a bit slow on the uptake sometimes). Beautiful harbour, loved the seal and otter watching.

Thanks David :-) Looking forward to the updated self-hosting software...Cheers! :-)

I now have two anonymous followers. I have a theory that it might be that people who change their buzztouch names (for example MrDavid/MrVanbeeren) confuse the following/followers code and they become anonymous. Feasible?
