Past editor showing as active on a category

S

Shaun

I encountered an error when I went to email a follow up message on submission done to the category:

http://dmoz.org/Computers/Data_Communications/Ethernet/Optical_Ethernet/

When I clicked on the editor's profile it loaded and showed 4-5 other categories that the editor maintained. When visiting these other categories, however, the respective other categories did not show this editor as responsible for the category at the bottom of the page.

When proceeding with emailing the editor using the email form off of the editor profile, I received an error:

Error

No such editor modemman

Just a weird glitch.

One of the quirks/features of the system is that editors who are no longer with the ODP still show up on the categories they edited until someone else comes in and makes a change.

I believe that this is what you are seeing.

It's a known bug, minor enough so it probably won't be fixed any time soon. Old editor names stay listed on the category until something else changes in that category and the public page gets updated.
