Watch for changing identities in the forums here

Viajero · 2024-10-01T14:32:58Z

Everyone please pay attention to the identity that you are logged in with (top right corner). Thane has reported several times over the last weeks/months that for no apparent reason he is showing up in the forums as another person. He can see their profile and possibly then post as them. Now, just yesterday, he informed me that Swampfox had switched with Steve Ives. So now I think it is not just an issue with Thane and his Internet Service Provider (ISP) but could be an issue with the forum app or maybe our server ISP. I found once in the server logs where Thane and another person had logged in from the same IP address. Very curious... So please watch for this and let me know if you catch an instance. It would be very helpful if you could grab a screenshot and email it to me. Then I can check the IPs and start some troubleshooting. I just need some more breadcrumbs...

Have not experienced this issue, but would using a VPN be a factor?

Possibly, but Jerry believes it might be related to web filtering software. For me, it only happens on my work computer that flows through a filtering service that may overlap with other users who then get "mis-associated" by the filtering service.

It's been a few weeks since it has happened to me so here's hoping it's been remedied.
