Default is there an explanation for this?

i got an email from [email protected] that someone had posted in a thread in the off topic section of the cars, trucks, buggies forum. i clicked the link to check it and the thread has been locked sense 2011.
so out of curiosity i did a search for the user name listed in the email. nothing comes up. it's like the name doesn't exist.
so im confused. is there a problem on the forums end or was this just some kind of cleverly disguised spam email? cause it looked like a 100% legit RCU notification.

Its legit, there was a new post on a thread that I thought had been closed ages ago, I deleted it and closed the thread again.

You had several posts in that thread.

2 or 3 posts although thanks to photobucket the images i posted didn't show anymore. i went through every page of that thread to investigate the situation
good to know it was legit and i didn't fall for clever spam.

It’s too bad we can’t edit old posts to update photo uploads/links, fix spelling errors, or add info to a specific post. You only get a short time to edit posts after posting them. Reporting posts to get them edited falls on deaf ears as well.

Sorry that's not true at all.

yes, it is quite true actually. Here are some screen shots of a post I made on 9/7/2024. I could edit it the day I posted, but I cannot edit it now. The decision was made to disallow post editing for some ridiculous reason, and since that decision was made, I have reported posts that needed edits with NO RESPONSE. I don’t make a big deal if it is unwarranted. Been here for a long ass time - only in recent times were old post edits revoked. So, if you want to say it’s not true, please show how it isn’t so. Being a moderator gives you options the regular users do not have. Please remember that.
Since photo uploads don’t work either, here are links to said post I reference above.
