Post Team

When I look at the first page of unedited entries of smiley - thepost team, there is one entry labelled 'From blogstephanieflanders' unlike the others that are labelled 'From h2g2'. Clicking on the entry link A73291999 leads to smiley - thepost user page.

This entry is visible in Alabaster, Classic (Goo) and Plain skins but not Brunel, see link below for print screens.

I suddenly remembered something and now I've managed to create the same kind of entry on my own list of entries. Apparently it's enough to just read the comments on other BBC pages for this kind of entry to be automatically created. This popped up after I had viewed the comments on Stephanie's blog:

It's the A-number alias for your U-number. There is one such alias for each site of which you are a member.

You don't need to post, it's obviously enough that you just read.

There must be more to it. I found a blogstephanieflanders: A70239521 No Subject (Jun 16, 2010) among my entries, and I certainly don't recall having ever seen that name before you posted it here today. I have entries from radio four and 1xtra, too. I can't exclude them, as I may have clicked on a link in some thread or other, but tehy certainly aren't blogs I knowingly visited.

Yeah hi yes there're user pages, when a logged in user visits another site/blog it creates a user page (holder) under that site. I'm looking at why the user pages are coming back in the lists.
