I can edit another user's comment

Someone recently commented on one of my photos. When I'm logged in, the "edit comment" directive appears for the comment even though it's not mine. When I hover over that, I get the options "edit properties" and "delete comment". I selected edit properties and I was taken to the screen where I could change the text of the comment. I did not, however, make a change or save it.

See attached image.



Someone posted a response noticing the same thing but his post is gone. Is this a feature?

Thanks Dave, that's fixed. It was actually a rare one: it only affected comments on photos within your personal photo albums.

I once had "Unassigned User" take credit for a comment I made about an area.
This happened a while back like maybe several years.
Weird: "Unassigned User" last visit was Jan. 1, 2001, but the comment was Feb. 10, 2010.
Weirder: I try to search for it and it does not come up.
The comment is still there under keyhole canyon comments.

"Unassigned User" isn't a real person, it's a special account that owns things that get corrupted in our database. I can change it back to you if you care... and give me the URL.

Thats what I figured. All is well. Thanks for the reply.
