Someone is using my name and avatar in the post "Citizens File Articles of Impeachment Against Obama".

I was never in this discussion and was shocked this AM to see many posts in my name, cheineck, shown. I have never posted a reply here and the person who is using/stealing my name and avatar is posting views I would never have.

HELP!!!!!!

Better change your password, it would seem someone has discovered your login and used it.

Why would you change your password unless it is someone using your computer. Admin can't help you there, unless it is someone on UHH who is doing it then yes he can help and no need to change password.

I'm not sure that's true, if I had his username and password I could login into UHH using his account from any computer, couldn't I???

You can log into your account from any computer, since it looks like all his info is the same between this post and the one's he says aren't his, then someone is likely simply using his name and password to make false posts. Care to give me your password, I'll be happy to demonstrate. ;-)

I did change my password just in case. Oddly, the one replying to my supposed posts was "Gnslnger". Don't think it was him---too obvious.

I believe Admin would know who it came from by his DNS. I think that is what it is or his ISP address if it is a member. Yes, if someone did know his password and user name one could use another computer. I was thinking of someone in his own home. I thought it was a very good thread.

I am the only one with access to my computer. Admin is still working on it.

Changed avatar (sp?) too. Let's see if it shows up.
