Identity Problems
A while ago, I was looking happily at some games on scratch. I found one I liked, and went to the creators My Stuff page. I found that I was logged in as that person (even though that person had never logged in on my computer). I was had (but did not use) the options to delete that users projects, create galleries from him, and post comments from his account.
I immedatley logged out, but if other users have this glitch i'm affraid that they might not do the same. This could lead to users getting banned because of other users, and that sort of thing.

Thats never happened to me and no wonder I would have been freaked out too. They could have the power over all your work. This should get fixed immediately to prevent this banning from happening. Lets see what others have to say

Yeah! We need the scratch team to know about this.

Re: Identity Problems
Very odd. Did you see any new menu options that you hadn't seen before (like an Admin person would see)? Or did it just look like your normal options when you are on your own hope page?

No, I had no extra menu options.

Re: Identity Problems
You know when I logged into the Scratch Connections site I was randomly logged out. This should be fixed immediately. I don't care if one person had it happen to them this should be fixed immediately. I'm going to try to get this glitch to happen on my computer. And if it works I'll report immediately back here. (I'll just do it on a wanted person that is being a cyber bully.)
Off topic: Zbugni, I have a group (Magnie's Detective Group) and what we do is search is find out how things happen how to stop it and get rid of the current stuff.

Re: Identity Problems
I have no idea how this could have happened to you. Can you tell me the username and project you were on?

Re: Identity Problems
Were you at a place where many people share the same internet connection? Like a school or library? It still should not happen but that's the only thing I can imagine. If it happens again please take a screenshot and send it to us at help@scratch.mit.edu Thanks.

I was actually in at school, but I was on my OWN computer. This glitch has happened twice now, but I never thought about taking a screenshot. I will next time I get a chance.
