Ask HN: Do you ever randomly seem to be logged into HN as a different user?
every once in a while, randomly, it looks like I am logged in under the account for "jrockway".
- jroes 16y agoI don't know jrockway, but somehow it seems like I'm logged in as him/her for a split second. Usually if I refresh a few times it goes away. I wonder if the first three letters of our usernames being the same has any relation to the issue. I never find myself logged in as anyone else.
- jgrahamc 16y agoI suggest you email pg and let him know.
- jroes 16y agoAh. I thought it might be an easter egg, not a bug. I will go ahead and drop him a line though.
- thamer 16y agoThis has been reported before; I seem to recall that it was due to aggressive caching by proxies. Someone reported the same thing happening with gmail, as well (before they switched to all-https).
- abyssknight 16y agoAll the time, and not just one user. We're all on the same network though, which may account for the issue.
- macms 16y agoi sometimes see that also. i looked up and found a j.rockway in my corporate directory and just assumed i was seeing a cached banner of his.
- jroes 16y agoyep. we all work at the bank it seems :) I e-mailed pg about it, he says it should be fixed.
