I received a message from someone the other day, and by the time I read it, this site said the person's "account has been deactivated" whenever I tried to view the profile or reply to the message. However the user's picture still displays in the message. Does this site randomly deactivate accounts or have a bug where it pretends they're inactive?

whoever messaged you must have deactivated the account

People sometimes deactivate and then reactivate later. As far as I know, there is no bug here that would cause a false deactivation message, and I know the admins do not randomly deactivate accounts. The most likely scenario is that the user deactivated for reasons of their own. They may be back.

I thought of that, but it seems unlikely both because of the timing and because the profile picture is still viewable. It seemed more likely to me to be a system error, so I was interested in whether anyone else's profile spontaneously deactivated.

The person simply deactivated their account...and it does happen....nothing the site itself has done...and yes, the pic remains on the emails and posts, you just can't "mingle" with them until they reactivate the account

I am also having the same problem
Person are shown online but when I want to see the profile it says the account is been deactivated
How is it possible that a person is online and been deactivated at same time

Hope someone has the answer

they either got booted or quit themselves... not a big deal, just go on to the next... not much you can do either way...
