ORIGINAL: Bittenkiss I am beginning to think its a cache problem - when you view a profile, the site is possibly building a page to view and storing it in a cache. Then, when someone else views the profile (and nothing has changed) instead of building a new page with all the same stuff, it simply shows you the one it did earlier - from the cache. Trouble is, you get the cached display from the user who first viewed it, and their name appears int he top right corner. I think its the site admin trying to improve the site performance and not a hack or security issue at all. So Bittenkiss, if I understand you, might the answer be something as simple as ... refreshing the page? Thanks. No, chances are the page is built on the server and stored there. Refreshing will simply fetch the same pre-built page again. What might need to happen is for the page you're looking at to change in some way, like the user you're looking at changes their details (or possibly just wait, as the cached page might be discarded and refreshed after a set time - that's quite common). Either way, apart from the name, it doesn't seem to be a problem. Don't put any personal details on the site if you're worried, but that's probably good advice regardless!
