Change of name

[merv]

Now here was an odd thing, I loaded up Kiwibiker a few minutes ago and was greeted with "Hello, wkid_one" instead of the usual "Hello, Merv" and then when I clicked for the new forum entries it said it couldn't find any so to get in here I had to click on the main forums entry link. Any clues as to why it did this?

Strange Let us know if it continues to happen.

[merv]

Whatever it has fixed itself today and I was greeted by my own name.

That's happened to me intermittently three or four times this past month.

Very strange?

[wkid_one]

Strange, coz for 4 weeks I was Merv...........maybe an X Files thing - do we have any members called Moulder or Scully?

[SPman]

Hey! I was Merv a couple of times - just b4 the comp shit itself!.....wierd.......or maybe not!

[wkid_one]

I just thought I'd developed a third personality?  or is that a fourth?

[merv]

Just logged in again now at about 7pm and I was greeted as Wkid_one again. Well at least we both ride Hondas.

If Wkid-one has been Merv for 4 weeks that was strange as I didn't join until only 2 weeks ago. That is X-files stuff or there is another Merv lurking somewhere.

Does it say your correct name under online users when the Hello name is incorrect?

[merv]

On the home page when I log in it doesn't list my name as an on-line user at all. However when I go to other pages like entering a message here it knows who I am because the posting of messages works under my name.

Occasionally though it does get it right, that is the strange part as per the message a few back when I said I logged in and it knew it was me on the homepage.

I hope you can iron the bugs out. Why I am always Wkid_one I don't know unless that has just been coincidental that we are browsing at the same time, but I have only ever been him or myself.

Next time try doing a [ctrl]-[f5] from IE to see if it still comes back with the incorrect name.

[merv]

Hi Spank the CTRL-F5 thing didn't work and tonight just for a change I have come up as MacD.

[SpankMe]

This is not going to be an easy problem to fix since I can't reproduce it

Next time click straight thru to the forums and check the name next to "Welcome back" to see if that is also incorrect or not. Trying to track down where the problem is occurring.

[wkid_one]

I am now McD

I guess it isn't a big problem to us because it is only the home page where the problem is. Its just the first time I noticed it is when I started this thread. On the other page it does welcome me back correctly and my posts go under the right name. I wasn't sure what other gremlins this might be hiding so figured it would be worth fixing if you can.
