Hey - what happened with the user tags

Laurentiu Cristofor · 03-31-2010, 09:28 PM

I noticed that I and others are showing up as "Nikon User" or "Canon User". What happened?

You guys betrayed Pentax, it seems. The system auto-detects these things.

Hack or some early beta of an April 1st joke?

OK, I was very confused and concerned for a moment there, but now I realize what time it is on the East Coast...

OK, the system is still wrong. It should detect that I prefer Nikon over Canon. And rather have a decent Minolta film camera.

Please fine tune.

You joke but in addition to my ME Super I've got two Canon's. The intelligent user engine really does work

Peter Zack · 04-01-2010, 03:28 AM

Yeah well the sad part is, each and every one has to be manually returned to the original. Somehow the User DB was corrupted when the changes happened. So there are a little over 13,000 members with tag changes.

we figure we can edit about 100-150 per day.

So it's going to take 80+ days or so to fix everyone's profile.
