Major problems (privacy issues) with site 2Day

in Site feedback and Forum Help
Within the last hour, twice when I've clicked on the control panel I've ended up in two different users' accounts. Also been logged off just by clicking a board and another use has posted a similar problem on the techie board (trying to log in but ending up in another's user account, last time 5 mins ago was melancholly's control panel). Are there some major issues going on with the forum today? (maybe related to the logging off issues in the other thread on this board?)

Rather worrying privacy wise, I just refreshed my control panel and clicked away to get to my account again but I presume I could have looked at their PMs and even posted as them (and vice versa are people ending up in my account)?!

    I don't think that it will be long before the site goes down for "critical maintenance"

    It's been acting very strange since last night with unexplained log outs etc.

    How do I know you're really espresso? ;)

    You don't but I've reported this thread, so hopefully admin should take some action.

    I actually literally laughed out loud because I just had an image of the abuse team just pressing "delete thread" without looking at it. :rotfl:

    In fact had you clicked on the private message buttons it would have brought it back to your own login again.

    Webby is posting on the other thread.

    I already saw that thread. The reason I made a new one was this new symptom of accessing other people's accounts which I thought was more important and it might catch the attention of the abuse/admin team better.

    2 people have told me that they got logged in as me. :( And I have been having trouble logging in for about 3 days now.
