WHY AM I LOGGED IN AS SOMEONE ELSE!!!

[NestaFiesta]

This is not me, Im lisad123, but logged in as NESTA!! HELP MN, I think your site is going nuts!

[Malvapoeding]

You are one of many - maybe you are all on a MN 'list'??

[NestaFiesta]

yes but that means someone is likely to be accessing mine!! ALl my inbox, my profile OMG

[IDrinkFromTheirSkulls]

If you log out and log back in it should fix itself. It happened to me just now, and yes I am worried about someone being me!

[silverfrog]

there have been a few threads on htis (and comments on threads where posts appear under random names and the poster is confused)



this is seriously concerning. there has (afaik) been no comment form MNHQ, but this sort of thing shoudln't be happening (especially as if you go to threads i'm on it shows up all threads, whatever the username/namechange - there goes confidential namechanges for embarrassing problems...)

[silverfrog]

hadn't thoguht about inbox issues.

seriously, this is not on, MNHQ.

[NestaFiesta]

yes the threads im on, are not my threads!!

Hi there,

We are aware of the issue and Tech are looking at it is we speak.

We will posts when we know more...


Not great though! Needs to be sorted asap, especially if inboxes can be accessed...

[lisad123]

phew it worked :) I promise I didnt post any weird posts Nesta

[silverfrog]

tbh, if this problem is as widespread as all the panicked posts suggest, then they should suspend posting/access while theysort it out.

lots of private info can be accessed by the wrong people right now (seemingly) - not saying anyone would do so, but eg I know I have passed my mobile on via pm, and don't want that info accessible by all and sundry...

[HelenMumsnet]

Hello. Huge apologies about this - should all be fixed now.

[moosemama]

This has just happened to me as well.

I was merrily typing a post under my own name, then pressed post and it suddenly switched to someone else's name and posted my message under their name instead of mine.

I have reported the post - its in Big Slim/Weightloss - under Starting today ..... 2st to lose.

I do seem to be back to myself now I've logged out and in again though.

[crazynanna]

Am I Crazynanna?

[OhYouBadBadCrookshanks]

am I me?

[Valpollicella]

Are you the weather Kitty OYBBCS?

[alienbump]

No its not bloody fixed. I am disasterpiece but posting as alienbump.

Who the fuck is me? Someone could have access to my profile.

[Tech]

Hi, if anyone else sees this happen from this point forward, please post on here and let us know. Thanks.

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Long night Tech?

[threefeethighandrising]

They said earlier that others won't have access to your profile (your name changes etc) as that's held somewhere else.

[BitOfFun]

Tech- what's going on? And how do I get to change into somebody else because it would be fun?

[MrsRhettButler]

Oh its so disappointing to be me...
I wanted to be someone fun

[ThumbsNoseAtSnapewitch]

Bloody hell there's some serious stuff going on here at the moment! I keep losing posts because I press post and MN has mysteriously dropped off line again for some obscure reason. Is it about to crash and burn in spectacular style? Are the fridges overheating?

[ThumbsNoseAtSnapewitch]

Good-oh, still me then :)

[madhattershouse]

Time to pack the OFRS..we are being infiltrated by the zombies, we all saw this coming!!
