someone is posting in my name

[-lines-]

alexd: One would need to know the old password when you make a new password for security purposes.

And MS, you aren't logged on now or you have it so that your online status is hidden. Either way, we can't tell one way or the other.

Only way that the admins would be able to tell is to match the ip's from before this started, but if you've got a dynamic ip, then it'd change, so then that idea wouldn't work. But, like you said, you never log off your computer, so the ip in the last post of yours should match to one from a while back.

Ok -lines- you are correct but I do not understand how he is logged in now without knowing the old password. If someone else logged into the account it would have "kicked" the user that was already logged in.

The only explanation I can see is something like Telos suggested (in the other thread). Unless you have given your password out to someone intentionally or by accident.

The only thing you can really do now though is wait until the admin resets your password.


Good luck

This is not so. I just went to the public computer where I was sad to say still logged in, and naturally logged out. When I came home I was still logged on. I must have been on 2 computers at the same time? How does that work. Anyway I imagine someone entered a post in my name on the public computer. My mistake, I am trying to change the settings.

Everything is OK now. Ha what a mess. I am such a space cadet, and new to computers. I reset everything, and learned a good lesson. Sorry for the confusion

Question: If someone already changed your password, how are you still able to post?

[Mustardseed]

Ha I will tell you if you promise not to laugh.....Promise? When I came back after having closed the log in on the public computer that still was open, I was tried to change the password on this one, however somehow I had gotten it wrong one and could not reset it, and assumed someone else had done so. For a day I looked for the scrap paper I had written it down on, I only had it as the black dots on the log in, being remembered by the computer. I wrote Adrian and Frank was all paranoid ha. Finally I found it under my desk ahem...and it still did not work, then I realized I had caps on   . so finally it worked and I changed it on this site and the email it referred to. What a confusion. Anyway I sure learned a good lesson and now I have it in my notebook right here.........hmm where IS my notebook by the way....well I will find it another time. Note to self, you forget passwords quickly, write them down and use a bigger notebook.
