Something a little wonky here

#1 Post by GreyWolfVT »

So I login to the site and go to my inbox suddenly the unseen servant site says logout rredmond i click logout as I am not rredmond and it now says logout greywolf but if go to my inbox once again i get logout rredmond and apparently see his inbox for pm's not my own? What on earth is going on here? I even rebooted my laptop logged out of the site entirely and re-logged in but it's still doing this glitch to me.

FYI this is only happening when i go to my inbox then it shows me even on the board index as rredmond.

Oddity with my account

#3 Post by Rusty Tincanne »

I don't know why, but when I am accessing this site from my phone, the main page has me logged in as dmw. It has his name in the upper left corner and I can see all the secret forums of a moderator. When I click any topic, it changes back to my account* and when I click an area I shouldn't have access to, the site tells me so. (No secrets divulged!)

* The exception to this is when I click on the North Marches sandbox forum. Then it says I am Marullus and can see forum titles I don't normally (and shouldn't) have access to. Same results though, with the site telling me I don't have access if I click on anything I shouldn't, and if I click on something I should have access to, it shows me as Rusty again.

Send like a hand glitch, but I thought the admins would want to know in case it is system wide and/or members start having access to more than we should.

Alebelly and I are having the same type of issue. Though for me on my computer it says I'm rredmond and on my android it said I was dmw71.

Whoops. I didn't see this a moment ago and made a different thread for the same reason.

I did look out as dmw. It prompted me to log out as Rusty Tincanne, so I did. Then logged in again and I'm having the same stuff happen.

I think this is an issue only Greg will be able to look into/resolve. I'll ping him to make sure he's aware.

Hey, cool! At the board index, I'm Dram!

The status line at the bottom of the board index seems to think I'm Dram but only when I'm at the board index in my view of the board index but not someone else's. The board index properly shows me as hidden to someone who isn't logged in.

I'm using the regular web interface, BTW.

Also interesting: after I posted this, the thread doesn't show up in "View your posts," which otherwise looks as expected.

I also noticed that, while I received an email notification of a response to this thread, the 'Help and Support' forum didn't show any new replies, and your post didn't show as new, either.

A few other observations:
  1. I logged out of my account, then logged back in, and I do not show up in the list of current users online,
  2. I also clicked the 'Mark forums read' link and it did not clear out any of the game forums; most of which still are flagged as if they have new messages.
  3. My "Dave's Mega-Dungeon (LL)" game shows as having new posts, but there aren't any.
  4. I also just realized, upon being logged back in, I am logged back in as 'Inferno.'

Alter egos appear to be sticky: on logging out and back in, It still says I'm Dram.

I somehow ended up being logged in as Inferno. This is what happens when I attempt to logout:

When you are logged in as another user, can you post as that user?

Even weirder: When I list new messages, this thread shows up with 4 replies and me being the last person to post. When I click on it, I get an older version of the thread. If I click "View unread posts," I see this thread with dmw71's post as the most recent post.

Just to be clear: I went back and looked at the "View new posts" version and it still shows the shorter version (with a previous edit of dmw71's post) *after* I saw the longer thread.

Sounds like database corruption (he said as a wild-assed guess).

Researching the error message, I found this: SOLVED: Random User Switching.

Hopefully it will help.

No. Every time I post, it always shows up as being from me.

Though, while it shows I'm logged in, if I click on my "0 new messages" to view PMs, I'm shown the inbox of (but can not view) the messages in Griffith's inbox.

I do see his Inbox contents, but did not include those in a publicly shared post. And, again, while I can see the message subjects, I can't actually view any of them (I did try, as a testing step only).
