What's going on?

I was composing a response in the Obama: Plan to Bankrupt Coal Industry thread. When the time came to post that response, the thread had gone bye-bye. And in the posts I've read since that attempt, there are parentheses after some iVillage members' names, abbreviations of their handles or long numbers that weren't there this morning.

Is anybody else seeing these changes or have I snapped after one too many political robo-calls?!

I have a parenthesis after my username. My username is so old that I think it may even predate ivillage and be from one of the sites ivillage bought. I have never been a CL, and I have never been a paying member. I have however contacted people from this board through the e-mail function and been contacted once or twice by a CL through the ivillage mail system. In addition, ages ago I had posted in a thread that got pulled and I received a warning. So, I suspect that all the usernames with parentheses are ones with a "file" at ivillage police headquarters.

Must not be that - I have done 'all of the above' from your post, and my Username remains unsullied.

Hi Everyone..


As another poster shared above (thank you!), we were indeed experiencing a technical issue that added italics and odd symbols to membernames. I assure you, there was no code or anything in there, just a technical glitch in the board software. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Oh thank you for letting us know. I thought those numbers in parenthesis were IP addresses for some odd reason.

Normal here too with the added features Sopall1953 mentioned. Interesting.
