Answer 19

^yupp good idea

Answer 20

Fixed

Answer 21

hm it just changed

Answer 22

It fixed

Answer 23

wonder why it got that pic in the first place

Answer 24

she said she never uploaded it

Answer 25

Probably linkd to the wrong pic because of a mistke in the ID etc.

Answer 26

But she NEVER uploaded it before

Answer 27

Sadly the image was too small to ID it properly. Would have needed the larger version to find the source.

Answer 28

But the thing is it did uplod the picture, it uploaded both for some reason.

Answer 29

No, it probably crosslinked a setting on the account for the different uses. With the way you do things in MogoDB, there is some replication of things that can happen and if they don't have journaling on, then this is not unusual. A bad write pellets one bit in one setting and it is looking at a different ID which is lined to a completely different image.

Answer 30

A bad write shifts one bit in....

Answer 31

LOL that typo, anyways I see what you mea but how did it upload a pic that was on her computer?

Answer 32

Ah, it is actually on the machine? Hmmm.... Now that is odd.

Answer 33

That's what I mean, she hasn't uploaded it before.

Answer 34

I can only think that maybe when she sent in one file something happened and OS took the wrong one or something :/

Answer 35

One time I had something like this, I ended up with some other user's photo.. :/

Answer 36

That could only happen at the time of upload... unless the JavaScript on the site does a lot more in the background than you know.... hmmm.... Because it was seen by others, it is not like the browser cache was making a mistake.

Answer 37

Well that is understandable KC, the server could of messed up and switched them but not take it from your PC and upload it.

Answer 38

It also followed her around, she had to reupload the pic to refresh the pictures

Answer 39

But it was weird, it just uploaded to be that user's photo, I was like :O And then if I went to questions and all it had that photo even when I chatted!

Answer 40

That's what happened to her except she had 2 pics

Answer 41

I mean I have seen some weird bugs on OS but that one is just.....creepy..

Answer 42

I really like it...

Answer 43

Yeah it is.. @JA1

Answer 44

Its time for the FBI of OpenStudy to step in.

Answer 45

I already tagged Shadowfiend, if anyone has an answer it's him.

Answer 46

@farmdawgnation

Answer 47

Why are you tagging all the admins?
Calm yourself! lol

Answer 48

Well farm was logged on right when I tagged him but I guess we weren't worthy of his appearance on here :P

Answer 49

Yeah, the timestamp on it probably didn't get updated, so it didn't fetch the latest version from the server. It should eventually settle, and for most people it should have worked correctly.

Answer 50

@shadowfiend , I bow down to thee

Answer 51

LOL ^

Answer 52

still confused as to how it got it in the first place...

Answer 53

Some things can't be explained... Well they probably can but you'd need to dig really deep to find out what went wrong. And I don't think it's necessary since this rarely happens and it's also a temporary bug/glitch so eventually it'll fix itself.

Answer 54

Yes what happened happened but it will forever haunt me that OS has the capability of pullling up pics from your computer O_O

Answer 55

@thomaster the real issue JA1 is concerened with is near the top. This post:

love_jessika15 "How id it get that picture from my computer?"

It seems this is some other image that love_jessika15 never used on OS, but that is on their machine. So OS went into their computer and pulled a different image from it. All without permission.

Answer 56

^^^^^^^^ I can't write enough of these: "^"

Answer 57

No need to write. Just let this run forever:
```
while true:
print('^ ', end='')
```

Answer 58

hehe perfect!
