Ive just had the email from you bunch of fktards about merging the classifieds and forum, usernames. If I log into my classified username im getting some one elses details including full name, address and number and email. Im unaware if any bank details are stored but this is a bit of a fk up dont you think?

Also who has my details now?

Well, that should get them onside & wanting to help you

[CraigJ]

I dont care if they are onside. They are sharing other peoples personal information with complete strangers, With out concent because some one has fked up.

[Vaud]

It is a reasonable point.

Are you saying you have logged in and are seeing all of someone else's details?

Your fastest route is to send details to [e-mail]

(I am not a mod, or anything to do with PH)

[Mattt]

Perhaps HM can confirm their data protection policy?

Just to confirm - we do not store any credit card information in any account, only name and address.

We are looking into this issue, which appears isolated just to this one account. We have not made any changes to the way login works, or to any login accounts as part of the new single sign-on.

The email and and this first step is just to record which of the accounts under the same email address a user wishes to select.

Will get back to you when we have found out the issue

Do you also deal with people in such a charming manner?

I suspect if I were PH I would just close your account immediately.

An Update.... We have fixed your account so you now have the correct login.


This was a bug introduced in July by another piece of work. We know this is limited to a very small set of users, and in this case there is no chance that anyone else would have got the OP details - we have put a fix in place that we will release shortly.

Nope try again. I now have access to details for someone called Craig Jenkins from West Glamorgan. That is not me.

Might be an idea to disable this until you understand what's going on a bit better?

Is associating them by the same email address safe? Once an address has gone out of circulation it may get re-assigned, e.g. a business where James Smith ([e-mail]) leaves and eventually John Smith joins. If James were to register for the classifieds, then eventually John registered for the forums how would you know they were not associated?

Surely the only safe way to create the association is to have the user log on under their forum identify then enter their classified details (or vice versa).

[CraigJ]

Both accounts that have joint mine to have had completely different email address not even close to the one I use.

Only the screen name has been similar

Craig J

[CraigJ]

fk me 3 times now. Just been back on the classifieds and i've been linked to another account that isn't mine.


Craigrj

Craig richter now from Cornwall.

That isn't me.

Stop picking random names that start with Craig. If you cant find one that matches my email address just leave it and I will set a new one up.

This.

He comes accross as a horrible individual.

[Mattt]

The way in which the OP comes across is irrelevant, Haymarket appear have have breached data protection rules.

Well I'm definitely satisfied by that explanation.

Phew what a fuss about nothing!

If I was a horrible person I would be knocking on your door right now but I don't have your address, but the way this is going I will be linked to your account details soon enough so will have your address full name and phone number soon enough.

Look forward to meeting you.

[CraigJ]

Right I've set up a new classified account and linked it to my forum name.

Please just leave it alone now. Don't try to help, don't try to change anything just leave it alone.
