It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

I've been here since almost the dawn of GOG and I never had this problem.

I am using Chrome and I hit the refresh button to recreate the problem and nada...

It's not a bug, we're actually mind-melding

Using good old I.E, no problem here neither.

Psyringe: Yes, that's definitely my avatar. (I'm also very confident that nobody else is using it since I actually paid for it.) The game you mentioned is still in my cart though, so whatever happened, you didn't do any permanent changes to my account.

N0x0ss: So you actually paid for a picture of a brain & a needle :s ?
Yes ... I've been using the nick "Psyringe" for more than a decade, and never used any avatars, partly because I knew exactly how the avatar should look like, but I couldn't find a picture that met my criteria. Then I found one, but it wasn't free, so I paid for it. It wasn't expensive. :)

I doubt it's browser-related.

When Namur saw my avatar displayed, he also saw the cart icon displayed, and he could see that Alan Wake's American Nightmare was in the cart. He couldn't have seen that if the issue was only browser-related. In order to see this, the server's database really must have given him the info from my account.

His changes (removal of the game from the cart) did not get saved to my account. This indicates that hopefully it's just a problem that occurs during read access, not during writes. That would limit the destructive potential of such a bug. We can't be sure though, I write access might have taken place on some other account.

OK, I am currently *trying* to upgrade from version 18 something or other PC version and I still can't accidentally gain access to someone else's account (not that I'd want to, mind you).

Edit: now my Chrome has the same exact version number as yours and still nothing. We can definitely rule out a browser issue...

I got this bug as well yesterday, things reverted when I went into My Account. Really weird 0.o

This happened when I clicked a link to another topic in the forum. The browser I was using was IE at the time.

We're doing some upgrades with our caching, which is what I'm guessing this is.

Keep in mind I know as much about server architecture as your average three-toed sloth.

That said, the developers know about this and, I assume, will have it fixed first thing tomorrow.

Maybe the same session key is being distributed to different users?

That's good to know, that was bothering me.
