Someone named "deathmetal" posted a profanity-laced message, which I deleted. Before I did so I noticed that he was listed as a "guest"...which was odd, since I thought guests couldn't post. I also noticed that all he had in the bar below his post was a trophy for highscores, which, when I clicked on it, took me to silver's highscore page (who was the poster right above him).

Then, looking in the Hints & Solutions board, I saw that swann88 is now listed as a Guest, for example in this post, and whenever you click on the trophy under his posts, it takes you to the highscores page for the person above him (Radiant! and bandit1200 to be precise).

Also, the General board stayed red for me until I clicked the mark all posts as read link, even though I had read all the posts. I think this is because I deleted deathmetal's post...and I think I need to fix the post counts which I know how to do, but I'm not sure so I'll let Schik do it.

Game on,

I assume one of the other admins disabled his account before you deleted the message. I'm fairly sure he didn't actually make the post when he was a guest.

Odd. This was probably due to a very odd bug, but I don't know for sure. His account is fixed now.

Yeah, this is probably because of a deleted post. Post counts aren't really important these days, so I rarely fix them if they get broken.
