this is my personal computer. i went to sleep last night signed into thaivisa under my normal user name. woke up this morning and it's signed in under a different name. i have secure wireless. i think it's a bug in the system unless someone broke into my house and opened my computer which is 3 feet from my bed.

Do you remember who's ID you got? (you may wish to PM this information for privacy). Who is your ISP.

I've had instances (on other boards not TV) of getting the wrong account suspectedly due to ISP caching.

Moving this to Forum Support where those who know can investigate.

I was logged in under "WhyBother". Chunky1 is my normal account.

I refreshed the browser and was then logged out.

Checked my router for logging and appears to be no other IP's accessing my wireless. I checked my computer and no saved passwords to Thai Visa under this account.

Pretty sure this is on TV's end, not mine.

Do not use True proxy, never ever, as they are mixing up sensitive data for their customers.

I never do use True proxy, at least AFAIK I don't.

err, this is real 'damaja' and i actually experienced the inverse myself... went to ThaiVisa to post to a topic then suddenly realised I was signed in as 'whybother'!?

Obviously I have no idea about how/why. I didn't do a sign in (usually just stay logged in) and have never even come across the user before, let alone know password etc.

Has to be a ThaiVisa cock up! Glad I don't have any important info stored on here, cos it's clearly not secure and is being messed about atm :S

You are both appear to be using the same ISP (or at least the same IP pool) so I strongly suspect it's a caching issue.

Like I noted previously it's happened to me before on a different board, in that case the other chap changed ISP when he moved house and the issue went away.

I'll ask Admin to look into it more but I don't know how much we can do from our end.

It has to do with that True ISP is mixing up user sessions on their proxy servers. On next software upgrade we will use a secure login SSL page (https), I have been told that this would solve the problem.

I've just logged in after not being on TV for some time and in ''my posts'' there seem to be a couple of posts which I clearly did not make myself.

So if the mods/admin are saying that the True proxy is no good, how do we change that? (I realize that we're not allowed to ask about using proxy servers, but could somebody PM me then about it? I mean, if it's not working out the way it is currently, obviously something has to be done about it, right?)

Afraid its a True proxy issue and something you need to contact them about, afraid its not something we can fix on our side.

Not much of an expert on this kind of thing tbh, you might try posting in the internet forum about true proxy issues and see what advice you can get, sorry :(

All Thai ISP's deploy seamless proxy servers. These are proxy servers that your traffic is automatically guided through. The purpose is to cache content so that if a user receives webpage from somewhere it is stored (cached) in the proxy server, then when the next user comes around asking for the same page he will get the cached version rather than going to the website to get the same page again. This saves traffic for the ISP's.

Normally for authenticated content such as forums, ebanking etc. it should not cache the content but go directly to the website to get the correct content. This is where True's proxy server seems to have a problem, and why there isn't much we at Thaivisa can do about it.

If this is indeed the problem in this case one way to get around it is by using a VPN which would force your traffic to bypass the ISP proxy server. Or of course, change ISP, but that is usually a bit more difficult.

The exact same thing just happened to me!:blink: I actually posted (as whybother) before I noticed that I wasn't signed in as otherstuff.

I'm using True also. :ermm:

Yep ... I (the real whybother) actually switched over to you (otherstuff) too. :o

Also using True.

      Highway Police Dismiss Allegations of “Gang Stickers” Clearing Routes

      Picture courtesy: Daily News The Highway Police have addressed claims regarding “angel stickers” allegedly used by the so-called "Unwashed Gang" to clear routes without police intervention. This clarification follows suspicions raised by the popular Facebook page “E-Sor Kha-Yi News” about the use of such stickers during a recent event in Phetchabun Province. On 24 November, the Facebook page highlighted the alleged sale of these stickers, priced between 250 and 5,500 baht, supposedly granting vehicles immunity from police checks. The post claimed part of the proceeds funded individuals who facilitate unimpeded travel. It further questioned the integrity of law enforcement in addressing such practices. In response, a source from the Highway Police Command stated that no official reports have been filed concerning these stickers. On the date in question, three police checkpoints were set up along key routes in Phetchabun: 1. Highway 21, kilometre 106, Khok Sa-at, Si Thep District. 2. Highway 21, kilometre 152, Nong Chaeng, Bueng Sam Phan District. 3. Highway 2372, kilometre 8, Na Ko, Lom Kao District. Led by Pol. Lt. Col. Worabadin Lertsuphasinsthit, officers inspected 430 vehicles, including 30 flatbed trucks and 400 motorcycles. Violations issued included: - 38 cases of missing number plates. - 16 cases of unlicensed drivers. - 17 cases of riders not wearing helmets. - One case of missing tax stickers. Authorities also impounded one motorcycle and seized drugs in a separate case. The police emphasised that no consistent symbols or stickers were found on inspected vehicles, suggesting that the stickers referenced might be part of vehicle customisation trends. Moreover, none of those stopped during the operation mentioned the stickers. The Highway Police reiterated their commitment to transparent enforcement and dismissed allegations of complicity in illegal activities, reported Daily News. -- 2024-11-25

      Father and Son Narrowly Escape Fiery Death After Car Fire in Rayong

      A father and son narrowly escaped a tragic accident after their car burst into flames following an explosion in the engine compartment. The incident occurred at approximately 16:00 on November 24, at the Somdej Ya Intersection on Highway 36, inbound to Rayong city, in Thap Ma Subdistrict. Police Lieutenant Colonel Kongthap Preedet, deputy investigator of Rayong City Police Station, immediately dispatched fire trucks from the Thap Ma Municipality and rescue personnel from Sawang Porakun Foundation to the scene. Upon arrival, responders found a black Subaru engulfed in flames. It took firefighters about 30 minutes to extinguish the blaze, though the vehicle was entirely destroyed, reduced to a charred skeleton. The interior, including seats and the dashboard, was completely incinerated. Fortunately, the driver and his son managed to escape the vehicle moments before explosion. The car’s owner, Mr. Jamnong, 53, recounted the terrifying experience. “I had just picked up my son from his tutoring session in Rayong and was driving home. We were only 500 metres from our house when I noticed thick white smoke pouring from the engine. I immediately pulled over and told my son to get out of the car. I quickly grabbed some personal belongings and important documents before exiting.” Mere seconds after they exited, an explosion erupted from the engine compartment, and flames rapidly engulfed the vehicle. Despite swift efforts by the fire brigade, the SUV was entirely consumed by the fire. The cause of the blaze remains unknown. Mr. Jamnong revealed that the vehicle had recently undergone extensive repairs, costing over 200,000 baht, and had only been back in use for a short time. Authorities have transported the vehicle to an investigative facility, where experts will conduct a detailed examination to determine the cause of the fire. No injuries were reported, but the incident has left the family shaken and serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vehicle safety and maintenance. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-25

      Day-to-day life in Myanmar

      Yes I had/have the impression that Myanmar would be a bit of an adventure or project rather than somewhere to locate to long-term. However I have to be honest on your plan of retiring in the Philippines.. that is not somewhere I would choose either. The locals are definitely looking to take advantage of people more than in than in Thailand and are less trustworthy overall. Towards the end of my stay in the Philippines I was pretty much just interacting with other expats/tourists and dealing with locals as little as possible, not to mention the absolute mess they make of their environment, the food... I will stop because I could go on. Maybe you can find a decent barangay/family to chill will but I would really take your time if I were you. Good luck.

      So you blame all Russians for what their leader is making happen there. Even the Russians that have run away from to Thailand? I suppose if your leader decides to commit genocide. We all can blame you for it.
