So I came onto ZU and I was logged on as GerudoSpirit (No idea who that is) I had to refresh twice to log out of the GerudoSpirit account. I hadn't logged in either when I was GerudoSpirit. What is this new glitch all about?
It has not given anyone powers, but this is essentially the case.
Basically, you're receiving page information from the server you're not supposed to be receiving. And if I read Scott's post in staff on it correctly, it has to do with the cache servers serving pages that use cookies when they're not supposed to.
You cannot access this person's account or use it for any sort of mod powers or anything like that and the error will correct itself with a refresh.

But that is just residual cache data that is stored incorrectly (likely what you are seeing is what they saw immediately after sign in, when there might not be cookie data being referenced), and does not give you access to anything at all, other than seeing how many PMs they have in their box.
It's on my list of things to fix, but not very high priority.
It's an issue that we're aware of and our coders will have it fixed eventually. There's not much else we can do.
