Group shout authorship does not change when creating new shouts

I noticed within the hour that when creating new shouts the authorship of the shout does not update anymore. This is broken on any group and for anyone who views the shout.

The audit log reflects the correct authorship.

Group should I made reflecting as my friends name/icon

I discovered it too a couple of minutes ago. The issue needs to be fixed immediately since it could get abused badly.

This is an extremely severe issue and I’m surprised it hasn’t been addressed yet.

@peraldon @skpm_plz Could we please get an update on this? :upside_down_face:

Currently experiencing the same issue. It will show “unable to send group shout” for the first time. When you click on it again, it will send the group shout with the wrong user. Group Link

(Audit logs of when I sent the shouts and saw this bug)

Honestly very strange run-in lol, just asked “EVILAltaplex” what is going on cause to hell with it, I honestly was confused

Content warning: swears.

I thought that this bugged is only happening to me

would this happen to have been caused by guilded? just a speculation.

I have been experiencing this bug as well. I have no notion as to how this could have been caused. My theory is that the Guilded announcements system might have somehow broken the traditional group shouts, but I have no idea. It’s even happened on groups and accounts that aren’t even linked to Guilded.

Hello, thank you for reporting this @Kullaske ! The issue was related to a change in the group shout logic and has now been fixed. If you still experience a problem let me know!

Great! Just tried updating group shouts recently and came up with the right account (although if I tried to repeat a group shout containing the same message it didn’t change, not sure if that’s still an odd occurrence though) Thanks again!

Happening to my group too, pretty annoying but not the worst.

This happened to me at a group called “Aquatic Pools”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmR6HWHcyP0
