I was participating in this Vesnali event topic: https://subeta.net/forums.php/read/940175/Give-5-flowers-to-the-user-above-you-V2/39 I wanted to give flower's to the user above me , however, when I clicked on the user's name in the forum it took me to my profile: https://subeta.net/users/pinklory

When I change the URL to https://subeta.net/users/Rena, I still see my own profile. If I try to give flowers via the URL https://subeta.net/profile.php?act=flower&usern=Rena, I get the "You cannot give yourself a flower!" error.

I can give other users flowers via their profile or by changing the giving flower URL.

I am using Chrome on a Window 11 Pro.

This may have happened if the user above you changed their username, and the site cache took some time to display the change.

That makes sense - I can see their new name now and I could give them flowers. Thank you for the the explanation! Do you have any estimation regarding how long it takes for the site cache to change it to a new username? Or if there is any way how I can facilitate the change? Just for future scenarios like this :)

in my experience, the cache timeframe can vary every time..if anything when it comes to those sorta boards I usually wait a few minutes before I click(I usually refresh once after I claim them and then do the action)

Just as said, it can vary! Usually it's not more than a few minutes, if that helps.
