About logging in as someone else...

Hey all,
Sorry about the delay in this but it took some time to sort out...
Some of you have been logging in as other users. The only way this could happen is if the 2 users in question use the same ISP. It is a problem with the proxy of the ISP.
In order to sort this problem out I've set the boards to deal betther with proxies.
Also: Would the users having this problem please do the following!
Go to the 'user cp' section and go to 'Edit Options'
Then Set both 'Automatically login when you return to the site? (uses cookies)' and 'Browse board with cookies?' to yes.
This will ensure that it's not a problem with your ISP's proxy.
if you still experience logging in as someone else, please post here with specifics and I'll sort it out ASAP!
Cheers,
Reg

Sorry - tis a bit annoying you see!
Anything else that could cause it?
Bad code?
Mine was set as all that, but someone still logged in as me and changed my profile. If it was just an accidental post under my name it wouldn't be so bad, but when they start changing your profile to nasty things it's a bit different.
This was a while ago now, but I did let you know and never got a reply. Just thought I should post it here so you know.
Exactly. I know at least one american who has logged on as me, and I once logged on as Alessandro.
Obviously it would be a bit silly to post it here but if the mods or whoever want to pm / email me I will provide details. (It's not difficult.)
only time its ever happened to me n out of all the squillions of people on this thing it was u it decided to log me in as!
No harm done
