logged out by system?

My first time at the new forum format.


Having logged in I was trying to find my way around (to answer an iTunes question) when I discovered that all my 'Your Stuff' was being displayed while I was being greeted as 'Guest' and being asked to sign in. (I tried to upload a .tiff from Grab but have been told the content is not allowed. It's only a photo of my information under the 'Welcome, Guest' Sign in prompts.)


Not good. Suggests that others can access My Stuff which should be private, I would think -

OR

a bug logs you out for screen prompt purposes but keeps you logged in for searching, creating questions, etc - if you get what I mean.


I'm sorry that I cannot give a clear description of what I was doing as I'm not certain at what point it happened. I know I had found the answer to my question and then started to check my account details for email notifications and subscriptions and so on. Then, for some reason I no longer remember, I tried to go back to the list of forums. I think it was at this point that I noticed I was being called guest but my user name and account info were still being displayed.


Another neat one is that I only had to go back in the history on Safari to get back to being logged in. Oops.


I suppose not really a question - just info for the developers. Still, it's important, I think.

IMac G5, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB HD, Mac OS X (10.4.11), Safari 4.0.3 (4531.9), Appleworks 6

You will need to use an internet-compatible format like JPG, GIF, or PNG. Just do "Save as" in Preview.


I think at some point this after-evening the hosts had to log everyone out for some system maintenance. You may have been caught in that.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to remember to change the format next time.

I hope the next time they find a way to wipe the screens so no data is left. A little disconcerting to find yourself called 'Guest' while 'Your Stuff' is on the screen.


Thanks again
