oh good lord this is cool

[ragtek]

is it possible that this hack is defect / not safe?

i have a problem that sometimes (until now 2 times) a user logged in with a other account
i mean:
i log in as ragtek but i'm logged in as another user which is neither linked with me, nor has been on the computer before.

[wolfyman]

that doesn't sound good.

if the wrong person accidentally logged in as admin.... uh oh.

Anybody got any strong opinions on this?

This gets me about halfway, but when I go to switch users from the vBA portal it takes me to a white page with "No Input File Specified." It also leaves off the /forum/ in the URL (it tries to access http://www.wifom.net/login.php?do=qas_switch&userid=168 instead of http://www.wifom.net/forum/login.php...ch&userid=168), but login.php is included in all 3 Replacement lists.

I can link an account but the drop down menu in the navbar doesn't work. And yes I did every step correct.
