Someone posted under my name

Hi, there!

This is the first time it happened to me.
Don't know if it's due to a bug, a security breach or whatever.

User portland_cards posted under my name:

http://forums.adobe.com/message/5967861#5967861

in the thread:

portland_cards

Automating Bulk Scan Cropping/straightening

User portland_cards claimed, and I believe him, that he is not responsible for that.

A forum glitch? A hack by somone else?

Since I'm notified per e-mail of every post I do, I immediately checked after reading that mail.

Here a screenshot of the post together with portland_cards's reaction and my comment on it:

I don't know who is administrating this all. Maybe she or he could investigate what went wrong.

Suggestions?

Uwe

We will ask Jive to take a look at the database to see what caused that.

Got the PM from Laubender and will monitor this thread. As I said in the thread in question, I just clicked the sign in button and submitted a reply, and afterwards noticed it was a different username than my own on the reply. Being new to the website, I wasn't exactly sure what it meant, so I clicked on Uwe's username and scanned through some recent posts before quickly realizing what was going on. I never went anywhere else on their profile or looked into it any further. I immediately logged off and replied with my own account info.

Please understand, I honestly felt this was a violation to Laubender, and I just want them and the admins here to know that I have no bad intentions here and I only registered to receive help on a quicker way to scan and crop my trading cards. Thanks!

Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!

Oh these things happens on Jive forums all the time. Security has been tightened for regulars to have a hard time posting here but hackers and spammers can easily get in and post whatever they want. This is life in here and we have to get over it if we want to continue using these forums or simply move on to some where else.

I hope your email hasn't been hijacked. Adobe has the habit of living their back door open when they try to shut the user-interface for regulars to post solutions here. I was able to login briefly on these forums before the Christmas and now I can't once again. Something strange is definitely happening but we shall see what progress is made in 2014.

Happy New Year.

Uwe,

I believe this issue has been up at least once in the past.

It may be a few days before John or someone else able to deal with it turns up here.

Some think New Year Is Near.
