Dodgeyness in user list thingie

[Gainy]

I was looking up at that "User list thingie" at the top of the Conquests forum, and for names that I don't recignoise, I normally click on 'em and look at when they registered etc.
I was under the impression that users were in the order (from left to right) of when they registered, then I saw this...



Is this some kind of new years bug?

Note: Bejita registered this year, everyone after him/her registered last year.

Maybe you were wrong and they are in a random order.

Or then it was a new year's bug...



Edit: What color theme are you using? That doesn't look like Ancient CFC at least... That's much uglier. Or did you just pack it too much so the picture is awful quality?

Yerp, it's a Gif.

Edit: Thanks XIII and Wj

IIRC, there's a bug with the users listed thingie, for only certain users. Apparently these 'specials' seem to be listed in their own order. Others follow the registered-by-date sequence.

Technically users are ordered by user #, not date, although it comes out to be the same thing anyway. But as XIII said, some users are "special"--which PC-advocates prefer over calling them the ******ed users--and are out of order. I can't remember if it's because their user # is messed up or if the list is messed up.

I think it has to do with deleted accounts.

I always thought it was random. (and your nick is always the last nick in the list).

 

[Ankka]

I've actually never thought about it, I thought it was random...

I always thought it had to do with the time you arive into the forum.

 

[Ankka]

Maybe it has? And the oldest are there the first for they never leave the forum: they live there?
