Here's one way I can get an unexpected result on my embedded forum, using two accounts: Steve Diamond and Steve Test.

• Logged out as Steve Test.
• Logged in as Steve Diamond.
• Closed browser.
• Waited a few minutes.
• Opened browser.
• Upper right shows "Steve Test" but clicking it reveals not really logged in, as there is no logout link.
• Posted reply to first post in announcements sub-forum. Here is the result - http://n2.nabble.com/Welcome-to-the-forum%21-tp2276161p2299050.html, attributed to Steve Diamond although it looked as if Steve Test was the active user.

Please note that this scenario doesn't explain this post, which was made by a user who had never logged in under any account except her own, yet her post showed up as if I had made it.
