all the threads are "unread" and my id has magically changed. did i get flagged by "the man" or something? i'm going to try simply changing it back, but i wanted someone to see this... screenshot follows. i did NOT change my id or in any way mess with my preferneces. haven't been in there (prefs) for a month or more.

    That's not the half of it you are now known as:

    Maybe you've gathered so many points you've broke the system or someone is mad it you.

    I can guarantee it isn't me!

    It looks like you've been a victim of the infamous account splitting...

    It looks like you've been a victim of the infamous account splitting...

    i was thinking that, but it seems to have cleared up...

    full scenario.

    i came into work and unlocked my system (had remained on all night - xp pro sp3, firefox 3.0.10).

    i noticed i was STILL LOGGED IN HERE from yesterday.

    hit refresh knowing that being on my home machine last night would have invalidated this login. nope. still logged in, at least it looked like it, even after refresh.

    so i logged off using the "Sign Out" link at hte top of the page.

    that worked and i hit login (the one that appears where my avatar and "welcome, dave milbut" appares in the shot above).

    logged in with my normal login and password. refreshed page back to start of 2 forums in seperate tabs (ps lounge and this forum).

    i went to click on a topic in the lounge about buying a new monitor ("Ezio Monitors") and got the 404. i refreshed and the switched tabs to this forum. refreshed and went to page 2 to find the 404 thread.

    posted there that the 404 issue was still happening and that's when i noticed the issue.
