Mike Jones's dashboard

var GLOBAL is occasionally being incorrectly populated (making "My Profile" link go to wrong profile)

Three times today while viewing another profile ( in this case coincidently both time while viewing apparent spammer @starcitizen ), the var GLOBAL is being populated with different user's profile info. In the first case it was @hellfroze I went to when clicking on "My Profile" then @islandtiffiney, and now @abeam.

This, btw, happened in Firefox 3.5b4 and in Safari 4 (I happened to be using a different browser when it happened the second and third time).

I am including entire contents of var GLOBAL from the view source while viewing @starcitizen's profile page while logged in as @skraggy:

var GLOBAL = {"page_user": {"page_title": "Welcome to Alan's World!", "uid": 3175013, "is_channel": 0, "full_name": "Alan Beam", "id": 3175013, "num_of_fans": 65, "display_name": null, "num_of_friends": 165, "use_dark_icons": false, "theme": "boooring-theme", "date_of_birth": new Date("Sat, 25 Jan 1958 00:01:00 GMT"), "theme_db": "metal-theme", "location": "Holton, KS, United States", "theme_fg": "marine-theme", "recruited": 0, "creature": 9, "has_custom_theme": true, "relationship": "married", "has_profile_image": 1, "karma_change": 0.02, "nick_name": "abeam", "gender": 1, "avatar": "2", "karma": 90.56}, "session_user": {"page_title": "What are you fraking looking at?", "uid": 1614880, "is_channel": 0, "full_name": "Mike Jones", "last_seen_plurk": 54839704, "id": 1614880, "is_email_confirmed": false, "default_qual": "shares", "display_name": "skraggy", "default_qual_mini": "freestyle", "theme": "blue-theme", "date_of_birth": new Date("Tue, 02 Jun 1970 00:01:00 GMT"), "location": "Chicago, IL, United States", "recruited": 8, "karma": 100.0, "default_lang": "en", "relationship": "married", "has_profile_image": 1, "last_plurk": "{\"lang\": \"en\", \"content_raw\": \"api.plurk.com (thinking)\", \"responses_seen\": 0, \"qualifier\": \"shares\", \"plurk_id\": 54839346, \"response_count\": 0, \"content\": \"

New spammer: http://www.plurk.com/SandyMiller

Just started up, and seems to be an automated account as the responses are increasing at a decent rate. Responsed to my own plurk within seconds of creating it with a powerball link.


I have blocked and removed the response, but the account is spamming many others.

Selection an emoticon, selecting "Reply To" and other javascript options are not currently working (nothing happens when selecting this). Many others have commented on plurk that they are having this same problem so it does not appear to be a problem with a particular browser (I know it doesn't work in Safari and Firefox already).
