    Hey guys

    A client of mine who’s one an MSM site just reported that one of their members were seeing one of the admins’ Screen Name after instead of his own.

    All other member info seemed to work (custom member fields etc) as well as their priveliges, so this seems to be a server och EE caching issue.

    What do you think and where do I start my troubleshooting?

    What variable is being used to spit out the name? I’ve found similiar issues before that were resolved by using the {logged_in_XXX} variables.

    I’m using {screen_name} and {username}. Both appear incorrectly.

    Give {logged_in_screen_name} and {logged_in_username} a try, that’s what fixed it for me.

    Will do. I just changed these and asked my client to give it a go. Thanks for the heads-up!
