If for example someone logs in under their name, and clicks always keep me signed in.
Then for example if someone else using the same computer logs in and posts something, then it automatically logs them out and the previous user in.
Then if that same user posts or sends a 2nd message they show up as being under the previous users username instead of their own.
So far, I've caught it everytime since the first incident and fixed the problem manually myself by logging out, and relogging in.
Now as you can imagine if two people say a pair of roommates were to share the same computer and post as different characters it would cause all the DM's and players involved a bit of a trouble, first in figuring out who is who, and 2nd in thinking that perhaps both are the same person tricking them by playing 2 different characters in the same campaign.
Which is not true but if Player 1 posts as if they are playing player 2, and player 2 posts like they are playing player 1, what would you think?

BarbarianKing and I used to have a similar problem. Bob just told not to have the "Remember Me on this computer" on when we login. It worked to stop posting as the other, but it does sometimes log us out unexpectedly when changing pages.

Unfortunately, there isn't much I can do about this issue at the moment. The automatic login-switching (or auto-logout when not using the remember me feature) is a result of the website being restarted at the hosting company. I'm afraid it's one of the hazards of using shared hosting.
Not using the remember me feature is the easiest way around it. Clear your cookies and it will delete the current "remember me" user. However, you will still encounter the occasional log-off as MindMistress says.
The better way is to use separate windows accounts for each user. This way each user can have their own "remember me". Windows XP and Vista have fast-user switching that make multiple user accounts simple once running, however it can be quite inconvenient to switch to using separate windows accounts when you are used to everyone logging in under the same user.

Bob, I was told you were the person to contact about this. On occasion, when signing in to RPM, the front page will say Welcome Visitor # ......... I click login, and it gives me a loop and doesnt let me in

Hmm....are you clicking on the "Login" button with your mouse or hitting the enter key? There is a bug with the enter key, so make sure you click the button with your mouse instead and it should resolve the issue (I hope). If not, let me know and we will get it worked out.

I was clicking it with the mouse. It seems to have cleared itself up for now, but I wanted you to be aware of it should it happen again. Thanks!
