General discussion

I'm showing up as someone else!

May 8, 2008 9:59AM PDT

I hope someone can help me. It seems that my posts are appearing as though they are posted by someone else! My username is NOT "KnowBuddies", it is "qazplmwsxokn". I have never registered for "KnowBuddies" and this account is registered to someone completely different. I am currently logged in as "qazplmwsxokn", but my posts state that "KnowBuddies" posted them. Does anyone know what is going on? This is very bizarre!

Don't mean to pester; just would like to know if my account is still on track to get fixed. As you can see, my name is still showing up incorrectly more than a month later. Thanks.

to be fixed. I know it's taking a long time to address your account issues, and I do apologize. Our staff is currently completely heads down on some major CNET project and very likely they will not be able to get to this for a while. But rest assure that your account and all the other folks who have encountered this issue with their accounts will get addressed.

Thank you for your patience.
