On the home page where the top menu items are I'm seeing someone else's username. I'm also seeing that same username in the section that shows count of messages, reactions etc.

Screenshots available.
 
I also noticed this banner appearing at the bottom of the page:

Apologies for that! I was doing some optimisation which obviously went wrong!!
Should be OK now.

Yes I ran into that ”security issue” also about half an hour ago. Now ok.

Seems to be teething problems with new server or system?

No it was me! I was adjusting caching headers which impacted on browser cookies. Forum permissions (such as access to personal details, messages etc) are not based on cookies, so nothing was compromised.

Seems I am various people again this morning :) But aside from that, it said this post will be be posted 'in 14 minutes'
 
Apologies for that hiccup! Was making some changes which resulted in unexpected consequences and misbehaving cookies! All should be OK now. As per my previous post, no confidential/personal information was compromised.
 
Apparently I was @OATEK for a few minutes this afternoon.This game is fun. ;)
