losing sessions?

[Ilan Berkner]

Regarding the switching of the username via session, turns out that the page
was being partially cached by the CMS.  So as one user was calling it with
their name, the internal cache would get overwritten.  We have now disabled
this functionality.

Again, thanks all for your responses.
