Kent Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I became Andy Clayton - I'm sorry Andy!!! I logged out and now am me - what a relief. Is this an alternative to changing your name by deed poll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Stephenson (Archant IS) Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Unfortunately as part of the forums upgrade we had to move some user's accounts around, which seems to have confused the system a little. Logging out clears the old data from your computer, and logging back in resets the cookie with the correct account details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Stephenson (Archant IS) Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 All - if the system has logged you in as the wrong account, please log out and back in again.Firstly, there hasn't been any sort of security breech etc. What has happened is that during the upgrade work the user database from the "old" LivingFrance forum system has been merged with a larger userbase on our main forum system. As a result we've had to update all the Living France user account identifiers to fit the new system. Consequently when the new system tries to automatically log in anyone with a cookie containing their Forum user ID from the old system, the ID doesn't match the new set of accounts and the wrong information comes up.The user isn't fully logged into the system as the cookie's user ID doesn't match other security records. This is why some functionality works, and some doesn't.Unfortunately the only way to resolve this is for the people affected to log out of the system (which clears the incorrect cookie), and then log back in - which resets the account details.Thanks for your assistance,Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tresco Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Oh how I would have loved it if I had been 'logged on' as 17 sex godess, or even spangle squirmything, alas, it was not to be. Still, I hope everyone else can laugh at their temporary names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 That will teach me not to read Forum's posts. I thought I had broken something!Just re-register Tresco. Spangly squirmy sweet sixteen should get 'The Lads' straightening their ties. Bit long to type thoughWell, re-registered and even remembered my password so well chuffed!

Will Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Well, I was William Blackledge yesterday, logged out, back in, closed down everything, deleted cookies and I'm STILL Wilbur Wright. Before the upgrade I was Will the Conqueror. I quite like being Wilbur Wright - who has my e-mail address, password etc - but it means I'm not a moderator any more.Must be a punishment for putting that naughty quote from Living France magazine on the forum before yesterday before the upgrade Edit - back to normal now I see , thanks to James and Tim for their help. We know why this happened, hopefully other users should only experience something similar if they have ever registered at another Archant forum.
