That happened to a guy on another site I visit, turned out his new IP address was the same as someone else's.

Have you changed ISP providers recently?

Or maybe big john changed his.

BTW your post says patriot from where I'm sitting.

Sounds like it might be a database problem. Your 'identity' is controlled via cookies (if you do not log out each time you are done). It doesn't make sense, but it could be that the TDR database is mapping your ID number to the wrong name.

What happens if you log out and log back in?

Yea, I noticed that it posted as my real ID. I wasnt sure it it would at the time.

This is happening at the work puter, I think there's something up with the cookies.

I had to sigh in on severl sites last night.

If it continues, I'll have to dump the cookies and start over.

We'll see.....

I'd be willing to bet that your office has installed some kind of internet caching software on their file server that is caching the pages and that there is another person in your office that is on the TDR. I'll look up the username and compare info and get back to you.

Yep, looks like you both work at a company that starts with a b and ends with an f - you both have logins from IP's at that company. Try holding your shift key down and clicking on refresh and see if it then logs in as you. If your company is caching pages you may run into lots of problems on the site because when new posts are added you'll get the old cached page, etc.

You are correct Steve. BASF.

I will try it and see what's up.
