You're logged in as....

I've just noticed that when I'm on the news page I am logged in as someone other then me. Here's an example:

I'm not sure if I am actually logged in as this person or if it just says so but I do think this needs a fix :poly111:

Yeah this has been going on for a while. I think Adam was looking into it.

Pedro Amorim

cupsster

Taylor Hood

It's not really a big deal, Cupsster.

It's just displayed as that but you can log in and everything is fine. It's not like when you notice that you are apparently logged in as someone else you can take advantage of it and post things on that users account.

This is a known issue and it only appears on the front page.

We'll get it sorted as soon as we can.

cupsster

I know that but its anxious or it's "feature"?

d1ver

Yeah, I got logged as Emil once sorry for impersonating you, dude.

~ Seems like it would just cause less confusion if they just removed the 'welcome' code altogether.

I'm pretty sure I know who I am anyway

piippo

I tend to forget things like that.

This problem has been around for some time now...I didnt post this because it started right after they had to deal with massive spammers few months ago. So being hard on them while not being too productive is kinda shameful thing.

But it is there.

EDIT: And if you click logout button, it will give you this window dialog box asking you to enter the password and so on. When you put your id and password in it will give an error.

This issue is on the mainpage only. Not on the forums. When you click on the forums you can login as yourself.

EDIT2: Actually this issue has been on since the main page was invented, that was right after PC management had to deal with massive spammers.
