Getting someone elses My Forums

Going in through a clean session of Internet Explorer.

Passport normally remembers email, but not always. I have tried setting it to remember both but it never does, and at best reverts to remember email only.

My private machine.

Accessed the site within the same day, maybe from a different machine.

Sometimes I get an empty list of My Forums.

I am also getting this - just now I got Mike Baro's My Forum. Maybe Mike Baro gets Darren's? This is the first time I've gotten someone elses, but on several occasions it has been blank. Usually if it doesn't work, I can try several times and it will never work, but if I wait a couple hours, it will work.

Browser version & OS: internet browser is IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519. MS document explorer is unknown (help/about doesn't work)

Are you navigating directly, through the VS client or from the MSDN Dev Center? Through VS (c# 2005 beta 2, community/check question status)
Do you have Passport set to automatically remember email, password, neither? Both.
Are you using a shared machine? No.
Was it more than 10 days from the last time you accessed the site? No

Sorry for all the questions, but hopefully one of these will help us narrow down where to look. --Lisa

Browser: IE 6.0.3790.1830 64-bit
OS: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 SP1

I was navigating from a other site.
i opened other site by clicking link on this forum (opened in new window) close the window of the forum, went outside for bout 2 hours. When i came back the other site was still on my desktop, so typed the address to the forum ...
I was suprised i was still loged in (tought the session expired after while if not connected to the site).
First thing i did was clicking on My Forums and i saw the forums of Patric C instead of mine, after refresh i saw my own.

This aint a shared machine

Last visit was few hours before
I have tried to reproduce it myself, but dint work ... close all windows, opened new windows, came to forum, logged on, went to my forums, clicked on the topic with the link to other site, clicked the link, close the forum window, came back to forum from the other site, went to my forums and it was normal.
Will try it again, but will leave the other site open for while without having any other browser windows open.

As for the post order, it's not a bug, it's a feature. :) Actually, the forums currently don't display in purely chronological order. They are a "flattened" threaded view. We are changing that behavior so the threads are displayed strictly in chronological order in the future.

Thanks for your help with all of this!
