Help Serious Forum Error

[KBU2]

For several minutes I tried to login to my account and it logged into another member's account from no fault of my own but from the screenshots.

Android Forums went down about a month ago and ever since it's been very glitchy.

I have to login several times per day and many times end up in some other members account. Sometimes I can't login at all and have to come back later. I just spent the past hour trying to login.

This is not good whatsoever and they should take this down before somebody's sensitive information is compromised

I moved this to the suggestion box where admin will see it.

I don't know much about servers, so I can't say. What I know is that when under another member's account you cannot do anything or view any personal data.

What was cool was being under the mods accounts as I got to see things that only they can see within threads.

Yeah I have a page up right now where I'm logged in as whitehat.

I had this happen the other day and I was able to post as whitehat. I reported it and the post was deleted.

Oh wow! I didn't think It would let anyone go that far and allow usage of someone's else's account. I don't like that at all.

For me It gives an error and doesn't allow me to do anything under someone else.

The following is what's causing this issue.

The gremlins were messing with the servers a week or so ago and I think they changed some settings.

That sounds familiar...

I think I got that from one of your threads.

 

[Unforgiven]

Listen, this isn't a hack. Whatever they did hardware wise a few weeks ago appears to have messed things up a bit. The issue has been raised to admin and ownership with possible solutions as best researched by the mods, but out of our control to implement.

I know.

 

[GameTheory]

I know.

What can I say, I like to recycle. Gotta earn those street creds with the tree-huggers.

Yeah I was logged in as cyberdev yesterday. I logged out and back in and it fixed it.

 

[Hadron]

Meh, all I get is that sometimes when I return to the home page it tells me I'm logged out (which refreshing generally fixes).

Seems that even server glitches don't trust me with someone else's account...

I saw that about a half hour ago. @psionandy had 54 unread messages.
Popular guy.

 

[psionandy]

I don't... But its nice to know you think i do...

 

[Unforgiven]

I don't... But its nice to know you think i do...

^^^That, I wouldn't trust what you see when you appear to be logged in as someone else.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

It was kind of crazy.
WTF? Was it a forum update without warning?

 

[Unforgiven]

Since this seems to be a server caching issue and not a hack, I've changed the forum title.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

So an update.
Just warn us next time.

 

[Unforgiven]

I can assure you that the moderators gave you all the advanced warning we had.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Agree.

Still haven't got my Gold VIP tag though?

Did you sign up for VIP? Rob would be the only person who sees that, and there is no way for us to know about this. If you want to PM me proof of VIP payment, I can see about getting you a VIP badge
