No longer seeing poster's name in threads but can see link to an avatar in RSS feed?

Question
-
This has been happening for a few days now. I only just noticed the RSS feed workaround. I do see attributions for Edits which at least let me infer the author of those otherwise unsigned posts. ICIM I still am not using the threaded view and won't try it until there is a fix for the signature problem.

Is this still happening?
Oops. I just remembered an experiment with avoiding TLS 1.0. In resetting Advanced Settings that one came back on. I thought there was supposed to be a security vulnerability associated with it?

Use of lower versions of TLS could allow an attacker to perform man-in-the-middle attacks and recover plaintext from encrypted sessions.

I do use threaded view and did see the same missing poster's name issue in a couple of isolated incidents.

Mike, for me it was very isolated. I think I only saw that condition twice.

It did happen a few times for me as well. Right now I'm seeing the author of the post at the bottom of the message.
