Hi On several occasions I have now been logged in as a different user in the midst of scrolling a thread. It has been the same user each time. We both have admin privileges. There’s nothing in the logs.

On second thought there was an occasion where I got logged in as a different user than the aforementioned one. That user does not have admin or mod

All occasions were Firefox mobile, android 14/lineage 21

It’s like a once every two weeks kind of thing and I don’t use other instances of discourse so can’t say

[image] Falco: Or in your instance? I Yeah this one

It happens on the instance I run. Its been happening for some time now. AFAIK he is the only user it happens to and the transition is always to the same user. [image] I checked logs to make sure hes not butt dialing the impersonate button but I dont know where else to look to track this down.

If you want to track this down and isolate the problem: Remove admin from both users Logout both users from all devices Reset both users passwords And then see if it still happens.

Ok, given this is a somewhat rare occurrence, what would the next step be if it does happen? I’d like to be able to give you guys more information than ‘still broken’ if so.

I am wrong about it being just one user he is logged in as [image] It appears to only occur while he is scrolling on mobile with firefox

Is this happening here? Or in your instance? If you only encounters this on your instance I recommend removing any custom plugins and rebuilding.

Moving to Support as there are no clear reproduction steps.
