Re: switching from user to user inappropriately
I don't see the glitch. What do you do? Logout in a different tab and then log in in another account and then in the old tab press the messages link?
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Re: switching from user to user inappropriately
Something wrong with the cookies.
Happens at my school, whenever someone logs on, if anyone else goes to the website we log on as them.
They cant even log off, they just have to wait.
Its going to be a real problem for scratch if they don't do something, because scratch is used in schools allot and we need to be able to know we are secure when logging in.
At-least make it so you have to re-type your password or something when deleting a project.

Actually, the problem is caused by your school's network configuration, so we don't really have anything to do with it 
You could report it to your school's IT people. Basically, when someone logs into Scratch, it needs to set a cookie on the computer to record that they have logged in. The problem you are seeing is probably because your school's network just keeps one copy of the cookie, and shares it out amongst all the computers. Anyway, if they have any questions, please let them know they can contact us. Thanks!
