Gnomon - time to move on

Some more detail on this problem.

Entry A165601, which is an Edited Entry, was written by researcher Eck U34825.

I edited this entry and clicked on the Set Researchers button. The system removed Eck's name from the entry, and now I can't add it back again.

It may also be related to the problem afflicting postings by certain users in threads (which I hadn't got round to reporting officially yet).

"As far as I see only accounts not Signed In into HooToo have this problem. Any recent posting made requires to Sign In (and a corresponding Personal Space Entry on the respective site).

I think it is down to not creating a Personal Space before the the Single Sign On 13th October 2003. The 'problem' shows only since 27th September 2006.

There may be more effects (I have 'Mina' several times on my friends list) however none with 'missing' information. "

Gnomon - time to move on

This seems to be a general problem on the system - we can't add pre-SSO users to entries as authors if they never got around to creating a personal space.

Is there anything that can be done?
