What is this? Not sure if this is the right place, but whatever

[freightcar2]

What happened? I just found a thread called "Engine Not Working" made by a guy called freightcar2 who is completely identical to me. Same avatar, same sig, same custom title. I don't remember making that thread unless I have a bad memory, which I'm sure I don't. Has my account been hacked or what? Please help me, I am very concerned right now. :'( Thanks,

The concerned side of FC2

According to the "threads started by you" link on your userpage, it *was* you/your account that started the thread in question.

But "you" seem to know what you're talking about at any rate...maybe you're sleep-typing??

Seriously though, I have no idea, try changing your password and see if that helps. :wave:

 

[freightcar2]

I'll try that. But I do know that I didn't make that thread. Reasons:

1. I have not written any config. files.
2. I have not made anything in Gmax.
3. I am not a beginer to trainz - I'm a trainz veteran. (I think I would be if I had kept my normal title)

It turns out it was written by my dad using my account without telling me!

Freightcar2, you claim that you father wrote the other thread, yet that thread was written yesterday at 8:49pm (AEST), yet you were concerned about it in this thread which was written 1 minute earlier at 8:48 AEST.

Two questions. You couldn't have made the first post of this thread in one minute, so how could both you & your father use the same account at the same time?

And how could you be "concerned" about the other thread as above in this thread, one minute earlier than the other thread?

 

[freightcar2]

I was concerned because he didn't let me know until today. I started thinking my account was hacked. And why this thread said it was made before the other I don't know.

 

[freightcar2]

I think this thread can be closed now.

...8:49pm (AEST), yet you were concerned about it in this thread which was written 1 minute earlier at 8:48 AEST.

I don't know what times you're looking at, but it appears to me that the thread in question was started at 22:47 GMT-7 and this thread was started at 5:48 GMT-7 THE NEXT DAY.

Just trying to clear the air. :wave:

 

[freightcar2]

I give up!

 

[lewisner]

Maybe the answer would be to stop starting so many threads, then you wouldn't get confused?

 

[Red_Rattler]

To Ferrous, oops you're right I looked at Freightcar2 "juniors" last post in the other thread - but that still doesn't explain how he could make the first post that would have taken more than a minute, and his reply in his father's thread - but then again he could be a very fast typer.

Perhaps your father is doing what most other fathers &/or mothers do FC2, and trying to take over your hobby and/or train set!

 

[freightcar2]

I don't think so. From what he told me on SKYPE, he said the loco he's working on for me (ever since I went on vacation) is malfunctioning. I doubt he'd want to take over my account.
