Cloned Usernames?

[Gatorboy]

I just noticed that we have THREE (3) usernames bobs online. They are Membership #s: 16341, 16342 & 16343.

Does the software allow someone to signup multiple times with the same username? #16342 has made some posts, but the other 2 have made zero. Obviously it's the same person and all 3 usernames mirror his movements. Weird.

Attached is a cropping of the Who is Online screen.

Another example is dharris894 Member #'s: 15699 & 15700.

NOPE it is impossible. Then again the Red Sox won the world series and Bush was re-elected.

Yep, there's THREE of them. That's why it's "bobs" instead of just "bob" /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I also noticed it the other day, and was wondering what was going on.
The ones I keep seeing have different "user titles".

We know. I fixed those few ones.

I'm not sure the cause. I wish I did know. I'll have to dig around a bit.

I think you must be going crazy AndyM. There were only FOUR "michiglenn" when I looked /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif.

It could very well be people like me who use Mozilla Firefox or another browser with tabbed browsing.

I regularly use TBN like this:

Open Main index in main page, open forums that I like in new tabs, open threads off of those forums in new tabs. If I wasn't invisible, it would very likely show a version of me at the main index, one inside a forum, and another looking at an individual discussion thread. Sometimes I have multiple forums and multiple threads open this way. I find it much easier to use and keep organized like that. That is also why I know when people respond to a thread I am highly interested in within seconds and resond quickly.

I'm also an information junkie and work in computers. My day job allows me time to keep up with TBN during the day as long as there are no network or server problems.
