The Strangest Thing Just Happened to Me on DU.

*This is a repost of my thread in GD*

I was reading a thread and clicked on General Discussion to refresh the forum, as I often do. When I did, DU suddenly looked different, different text and color scheme. I looked in the upper left corner and it read: "Signed in as JHB." I clicked on My Posts and my own posts appeared. Figuring it was fixed I clicked on General Discussion again and this time another different color scheme appeared, and now I was member 303squadron.

I have changed screens a few times since and I appear to be remaining as myself, as it were. Has anyone else ever experienced this occurrence or anything similar? I mean, what the hell?

3. EarlG mentioned recently that the admins were "working through other issues"...

...I'm beginning to wonder if we should ask EarlG for some kind of sign that it's actually still him at the wheel.

4. When it happened it did cross my mind to wonder if maybe there were some bad actor at work somewhere.

But then, I would have expected other members to experience the same thing I did, and by the relative lack of replies that doesn't seem to be the case.
