#1053 closed defect (bug) (no action required)

Logging in on any profile page should route to the logged in user, not the previously logged in user

Description

Not sure whether to log this as a defect or an enhancement, but I would call it a defect, so I'm logging it as such.

When a user is logged in and goes to their profile page, if they log out (they have to log out using the userbar link, not the navigation/utility logout at the top of the page), it logs them out --> good enough so far.

But if another user logs in from this *very* page, it will log them in, but instead of the new users profile showing up, it stays on the old users profile page. Technically, this is understandable behaviour -- that's the same page we logged in from. But from a user's POV, that could be confusing. I would have the login in drive them either to their own profile or the home page.

(But only if they're on someone else's profile page...)

...of course, rerouting is a functionality question, but I found it very confusing (and thought it was a bug) when I was on the old user's profile landing page when i logged in as a different user...

Does the user bar (part that says 'ME') show the logged in user?

The way I see it, the login is just dumping you where you were before (you logged in) which happens to be another user's profile.

  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Status changed from new to closed

The userbar says "me" and has the logged in user's avatar and nav options. I don't really think this is a big issue. I'll reassess if this becomes an issue for more people.
