Suddenly Signed In As Some Else

[jomtiened]

I have just opened a new tab in firefox and gone to the "forum" page from my history. I have the news thread opened in another tab, and was signed in as "whybother".

In opening the page, I have suddenly been signed in as "jomtiened" without any log in screen. I also went the other tab and refreshed it, and I was also "jomtiened" there.

It appears that my cookies have somehow been messed up.

I will close down firefox and report back soon.

[whybother]

OK. I'm back to normal now.

I closed firefox, restarted it and went to the forum page. I wasn't signed in.

I signed in (as whybother). I closed firefox again, and restarted, and went to the forum page.

I was still signed in as "whybother".

It seems to be fixed for me now. But .........

So who is "jomtiened" and how did you become 'linked' ?

[harrry]

Are the multiple nicks for two personalities or just to be bad.

[whybother]

No idea how I became linked. I opened the main forum page using my history, and suddenly I was jomtiened.

One thing that was interesting that I haven't mentioned yet, is even though the url was for the main forum page, it opened up the Bangkok forum page.

I didn't realise until I noticed I had read a couple of threads that it said I hadn't read.

Were you at home or on a public machine?

Were you at home or on a public machine?

At home.

Could be a weird cache issue with the ISP or something. The account is now disabled pending contact with it's owner. Thank you for letting us know about this.

I think cdnvic may have it.

I had a similar issue with another forum (no, not that one, thebox.bz) I got signed in as another member, turned out we share the same ISP and the caching had got screwed.

A few of us are now wondering how to sign in as the poster who's comments we would rather not see....and get 'em banned!

How lucky would that be then?

Been there, done that!

I'm hoping to find myself signed in as George one day
