"Post As" request
Not sure if this is related to the latest fix, but one of the players in one of my games was having issues last night with editing a post written as one of their characters forcing their -other- character into the 'Post As' section. Which, as you can imagine, was noticed by realizing that a post changed authors after being written in a most awkward way... <.<
I've tried to replicate this myself, and can't. Editing is working properly for me, but the affected player confirms that even after multiple relogs this morning, attempting to edit a post (regardless of which character initially wrote it) is automatically switching to their other character for the 'Post as' drop-down in the edit window. Both the affected player and I have 'By default, post as your primary character' turned to OFF in Game Preferences. All of our characters have access to the threads tested in. Both of us have relogged
The only difference we can spot is that the affected player only has 2 characters, and I have multiple under my control.
The affected player revealed they had this issue happen in another game on the 17th of Feb (coincidentally the day the latest fix went in), but had just chalked it up to user error at the time. In that game, they have more than 2 characters, but only 2 had access to the thread that contained the post they were editing. I suspect that I can't replicate it because I can't find a single thread anywhere where I only have exactly 2 characters with access to it (and our GM is unavailable to set one up for testing at the moment).
Edit: Got the GM to make a thread that I only had two characters with access to. Can confirm that in that case, attempting to edit a post is forcing the 'Post As' to the other character automatically. This does -not- happen with posts in threads where more than 2 characters have access.
