One of our user has been receiving post edit notices for a post they didn’t create (things like thread archiving, tagging, etc.). The post’s ownership did get changed a couple times in the past, but never to this particular user. When going to that user’s profile and searching for posts by that particular user, this particular post does show up. Apparently they started receiving the notifications a few months ago, but the thread was originally created in 2021.

Not really sure if this is a backend post metadata issue or not. I’ve already reassigned post ownership twice today to see if that fixes anything, but it still comes up with the “posts by \_\_\_\_” search.

Thoughts?
