Weird SMF Who's Online names are backwards lol

[Alex10455]

Their names show backwards , some shows backwards and some shows normal.

If I decide to copy and paste a backward name , it appears in its correct order.

What should we do to solve this mysterious bug  ?

It's almost as if at least one of those online members has a name created using RTL, affecting the whole division.

Like the one before m4ercS|5C

Indeed, that's exactly what it looks like - and it's actually the empty space between the commas, though I would wonder how that got in there because that gnerally shouldn't be possible.

Any solution to this problem?

Is that pic old? the date is over a year out.

that date is the most online, which is not recent.

I was wondering how long it had been happening tbh, Is it all the time or only when certain members are online?  Can suspect names be changed in the profile to hidden to narrow it down?

This started happening around July - August , the bug last for about 1 month or so and it only came back recently.

Most likely it happens when certain members are online because the screenshot I took above was taken less than 3 minutes ago and the list seems alright.

I'll see if I am able to disable the change name option for a while and start narrowing down names.
