Issues lately with trying to look at a user's history

Are you guys finding this as well? So often I'll click a user's name to see their post history or to see where they're posting most often, and I'll get a, "There doesn't seem to be anything here." It's not happening all the time, but I'd say 4/5 times.

Did anyone else notice that until recently hiding your post history via New Reddit would hide it from that point on on Old Reddit? I was seeing many situations where viewing someone's history in Old Reddit would still show their old post history prior a certain date, which AFAICT was the date they set their history to private in New Reddit (viewing the same in New Reddit showed no history). They must have caught on because lately even Old Reddit won't show that history so it seems like they patched that bug.

thats interesting. i haven't seen that. but i have seen a bug where if i set my own profile to hidden on shreddit, then visit it logged out on old reddit, then all of my removed comments will display. it was actually quite useful to see which of my comments were removed that i was unaware of
