In reply to the discussion: We could use your help tracking down a bug... (UPDATE) [View all]2naSalit
(95,248 posts)22. Yesterday...
This happened along with pages just not loading which was happening earlier today.
I had opened a thread in a new tab and when that page opened, there was a message banner about site maintenance but at the top of the page where it shows where I'm signed in, it was showing another user name instead of mine which I found very odd. I closed it and came back to see if they were even responding to the thread, which they were but it was then showing my own acct user name.
I did notify the other user to let them now that happened on case something unusual was happening for them.
That's all I know, man.
