What sorcery is this?!

Yet this doesn't explain SweBow. Then again nothing does.

It's most likely a derp on his end involving his internet connection, or he was messing with SMF again, or both. Either way, this discussion is getting fairly off-topic, and I am of no help in that regard .

You can convince SweBow into talking, he won't trust me. You on the other hand are considered a reliable... person, yes person, very reliable.

Also "Of-Topic", I've been trying to get to the bottom of this so the creator of the topic can finally sleep peacefully.

Swebow talked to the programmers, who then got SMF to do it for the lulz?

I love you.

Potato, Potahtoe. I do that out of ease since I do know HTML and CSS. It also makes it easier to use external tools, like Lua scripts and regular expressions. With that, I'd like to drop the whole "edit the forums and make it say funny things" and continue this thread on-topic if that is at all possible.

I guess i've had my fun 

i've been trying to wrap my head around how he really did that though, i thought it would be something simple like logging into your account at the same time with 2 different ip addresses.

It's not, btw

Nah it's simplier than that.

Just login on two different browsers at the same time. That's how I manage to recreate the dual account logged in bug.

Funny you'd mention this, but I tried this myself when this came up... did NOT work.
It even gives an error. I tried again today...
Conclusion: Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Why SweBow, why would you lie to us, we your trustworthy followers.

Must be then that I got admin access. Because I can be logged in on multiple browsers at the same time.

I just opened Safari alongside my Firefox and logged in there.
I'm on just perfectly fine, my name only pops up once.

I sorry SweBow, so far you haven't done anything to regain my trust.
But not all is lost, make me an administrator so I can check it for myself and we can leave this all behind us as friends.

And, uh, I'd like to try it, too.

Because I am made of fail.

I was gonna post "Uh oh. I've been on the forum on my desktop and netbook at the same time before." until I saw the posts that it doesn't work.

You need to be on a different IP address and I've already tried that with my phone and my computer

Funny, that was the 1st thing I tried(IE and firefox).  Must have been with something not..IE

Edit-Tried with 4 different browsers at the same time, and I can log in to my account on multiple browsers, but if you try logging in to both at the exact same time you'll always get an error telling you to try again in 2 seconds.

And IE had a meltdown too btw-WindowsFail
