    Not telling what to do. But if it happened to me it could probably happen to a person with bad ideas and get off scott free because he or she is under a different name.

      Should have just posted a thread under /c/JustPost that just said “penis” and THEN came back here and posted that thread.

      Maybe it would help admins figure out what went wonky.

      Plus, everyone would giggle.

        I get your point but wouldn’t you hate do to a glitch I was logged into your account and posted the most vulgar thing to get you banned? I wouldn’t but some people aren’t that honest and have nefarious intentions.

      at this point we don’t believe that this will allow anyone to act as someone else, but we are aware of the issue. it’s still unclear what is actually causing this, as the pages are not supposed to be cacheable when there is authentication attached.

      are you sure about the username? i can’t even find a user remotely matching that name.

        I may be off by maybe a p or n but damn sure it said that in the upper right. The last time this happened I logged out and didn’t realize what I could do or someone else could do until a couple minutes later. Oh just going to say this you guys and gals do a great job around here keep up the good work. No sarcasm. Next time I will take a screen shot. I am sure it just probably like a misplace letter or number.
