I have just logged onto my username & it is showing that I last visited at 11.34 today , no one has used my PC or has access to my password .

The same thing happened recently while I was on holiday .


I know there is probably a logical answer , does anyone know it please ?

Someone else posted a very similar thing the other day if I remember correctly?

I think there are some glitches with the forums anyway at the moment?

Forum down then posts missing?

Thanks Fermi :A I will post on the other thread .

I'm not sure it's actually related. Just some oddness going on at the moment.

There was a post on another thread somewhere, where they had the exact same thing as you? I can't find it at the moment though.

Ah yes I see the other thread is not related .

I will have a look through some previous threads when I get a few minutes to spare .

Thanks again Fermi

Well I have gone as far back as the end of October & can't find the answer.

Could a member of the Forum team help me out please .:)

We experienced the same thing on another site. Never did get to the bottom of it.

Thanks for the links guys, very interesting .

I wonder if the forum team are aware of this . It is a bit unsettling , makes you think someone has been accessing you user name

I have been having these problems since the hacking thing a bit ago.

Every time I now log in I have to do it twice, its as if I am logging into somewhere else first. I am not very technical or computer savvy so thats the best way I can describe it.

It also keeps telling me I can't post without logging in despite the fact that I am as my details are at the top. I then have to log in several times. When I tried to answer this just then I logged in using both the top log in and the box that comes up 8 times!!! and it just went round in circles. I had to log out shut down everything then log back in (twice again)

I emailed mse telling them about it and got an email back telling me they were too busy to help individuals and giving me pages of instructions on using mse.

I may be paranoid but I am certain that someone else is using my account and monitoring me every time I am logged onto mse. I have no problems with any other site I visit.
