Hi Everyone,

We just discovered a bug that crept into Version 5.15 of the UBB (which was released a few days ago). This bug affected profile updating. Basically, it was causing overwriting of one person's profile info to another (random) user's profile, thus rendering both profiles pretty much useless!

Obviously, this was a fairly serious bug, which has been corrected in 5.17 (which we will be fixing by Monday 11-30-98)... but the bug fix does not correct any profile changes thatm may have been made during the time that the bug existed.

Thus, please check your profile. If you notice that your profile is incorrect (obviously someone else's info), please email us. If you cannot even open your profile because you are receiving an "incorrect password" error, that also indicates that your profile was erroneously changed. In that case, please email me as well. I think there will not be too many cases, since the bug was discovered quickly... but I just wanted to notify you of the potential problem!

John
