[ckan-discuss] Error in /user/edit

Mon Dec 5 12:43:44 GMT 2011

Two points:

* A piece of bad UX: if you change your username you have to logout
and log back in. We should force this by auto-logging you out!

* Re your number of edits. That hasn't gone it is just connected with
your old username. We can reconnect that pretty easily (and have a
longer term solution that involves not using the usernames but the
userids in in the Revision objects so we don't hvae this problem in
future!)
