I just tested a software review on Download.com using the exact same login (i never logged out). it correctly identified me as the author and it added the review to my list of reviews in my profile.
It must be a problem with just the CNET forums
Its been almost a week (since i started posting) and it still thinks that im posting as vhetland. I am signed in as myself (nsj0806) but all of my posts go to vhetland's profile not mine. I have posted successfully on the Gamespot.com forums (i think the accounts might be linked, but im not sure).
