Can't "Check References" on myself?

Just wondering if something is up with the Check References feature. I am able to check references on other people but when I go to check a reference on myself it always comes up blank. Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks

Weird. When I click on the ref number by your name, all your refs come up. When I type your name in the Check Ref username field, nothing comes up. When I type my name in the Check Ref username field, all my refs come up. There has to be some kind of pattern to this on why it is doing that.

If anyone else has seen this happen, list the names you have tried that it didn't work for.

However, if you find an actual post from nightlord; you can click on his ref number and get his references.
See:ref_view.php?user_id=75

True.
I was just adding in a name to the "Can't find references when manually typing in the User Name" list.

Well it sounds like I am not the only one at least, I wonder how many names don't work. Looks like the site code might need some investigation. At least now I have an active post where I can view my current references. :-D

If it is a program code issue, then it will be awhile till it is fixed. The site owner, Trademaster Adam, is a very busy man.

I just did the same for myself and I get nothing as well. Odd. They come up when I click the number by my name however.
