    So I typed in Patur Aval Assur in the Search the Coffee Room thread. One of the results that came up was a thread from three years ago. The thing was that it had my old subtitle – Bar Me’hanei T’las. So I figured that maybe the glitch was that on this thread my subtitle didn’t get changed. But I immediately rejected the viability of that theory because three years ago I didn’t have a subtitle. To make matters worse, when I actually went into the thread it had my current subtitle. So there’s a glitch but I don’t know what it is. (It was only on one thread; the others had my current subtitle.)

    I’ve seen this sort of thing before (in fact, I had a post about it rejected today) – I think it’s caused by Google accessing pages and storing them for search results as they are at that time. Whatever your subtitle (and presumably username) is at that time, that’s how it’ll be in Google.

    It’s a Google glitch, not a CR glitch.

    Not a glitch at all, but as Randomex said, Google is showing you words from their copy from when they last crawled that part of the net.

    Yes, Randomex and HaLeiVi, that is what I thought as well. We have enough glitches in the Coffee Room, we do not need another one.
