Sign in issues

[mzmolly]

Has anyone else experienced being automatically signed in as another user today?

I've never had that happen before but want to alert mods. I logged out and when trying to log in received a message that I was already logged in as "...."

I had to clear my browser cache and all is fine now, but it's unnerving.

If this is not the correct forum, my apologies.

2. I just had to reboot

to get rid of yellow notifications... Tried signing out/in before and had your same results, "already logged it..."

Appears to be okay now.

8. That's exactly what I experienced temporarily

It was brief, fortunately.

3. This is related to configuration changes I was just making behind the scenes

You were not logged in as another user, there was a temporary caching issue that showed you the wrong page. I've disabled the cache rule which was causing the problem so it should have stopped now. It was only active for about 5-10 minutes.

Edited to add:

Essentially you were not seeing live data but cached pages. The change has been reverted and everything should be back to normal now -- my apologies for the inconvenience.

It took several log outs and logins before it landed on my proper account.

9. I sent EarlG a message.

I've been posting normally, but "My Posts" brought up another user's posts.

Went away quickly.
