Thank you. That helped me find the cause. It's like this: If the page is a pmdev-patchable type, and the current user is _not_ in pmdev, then the owner is displayed as "gods". Otherwise, the node's true owner is displayed. In this case, which is a good example, the "Comment on" and "preview page" pages _are_ pmdev-patchable types, so that means non-pmdev will see "gods" and pmdev will see the true owner, which in the case of these two files is PublicAccess. That still leaves the question of how we keep anonynewbies from thinking the node they're replying to is owned by "gods" when they're on the comment drafting pages. One idea I think would be most useful would be to remove the "attribution" altogether, rather than say the node is "by gods". Update: Done. :-) Update2:** I also have it suppressing the _date_ part of the attribution whenever the _author_ part is suppressed. In general, it makes very little sense to think about the creation date of infrastructure nodes like Message Inbox and PMUS. I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.	[reply]

Intended or not, that change has also affected the Perl Monks User Search. Not a problem, but stood out when I refreshed a cached page. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :) In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply]

I'm not in pmdev. screenshot. Did this change happen when the format of the post/edit screen changed?	[reply]

The 'by gods' link is top left and first thing after the header on my page.... ... and then changes to 'by you!!! ' after stumbitting... ...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it... A solution is nothing more than a clearly stated problem... wjw	[reply]
