PLEASE - post them here.

Include a link, and if possible both the screen name it's supposed to be and the one that's showing up.

We're working on getting this worked out and can use your help.

thanks,

Not exactly a "screen name switch," but I've been having problems logging in for the last few days. I get a 404 error with a message that someone with that screen name is already logged in.

Clearing the cookies worked at first, but then it stopped. I cleared the cookie and unchecked the "remember me" box on the log in screen and haven't had problems since.

And it's not someone logging into my account because I can log in right away after getting rid of the cookie.

The post linked below was started about a week ago by J3nnJ3nn05. As far as I can tell, the names are still changing on it. Read the post for more info and some of the names that changed. I believe J3nnJ3nn05 emailed you when this started. Also notice the comment near the end about how the problem appears to be more prevalent when posts are being deleted by a moderator. I've noticed that also in the past. If I see anymore names changing, I'll be sure to let you know.

Good Luck

One other quick comment. You may want to consider posting this request as a regular thread on some of the other Mythbuster's forums. I think a lot of people that may have seen name changes do not visit the water cooler. And as you know, many of us never read the "stickys". I know you are not supposed to duplicate post across forums, but I think you could get away with it.

Yeah I've had the same problem that Kim has had just today I tried and it kept on saying "404 error," I kept on trying then eventually it worked... Smile. But i haven't noticed any "screen name switches," though.
