I've been doing some digging, and it appears there are log in issues due to the cookies stored on your computer. For those who don't know, a cookie retains information about a website (log in details etc). If there is a problem with the cookie, then it causes all sorts of weird shit to happen.
I have been doing some testing on a test forum that I've installed and it appears that after I deleted my cookies, I no longer had a problem. So I tested again and got the same result. This leads me to believe that all these problems we are having with users logging in as each other is due to corrupt cookies.
This may very well be something to do with me removing a service called "cloudflare".
Now, if you don't know how to delete your cookies, please click the link below to learn how to do it as the instruction varies depending what browser you are using to view the internet.

If the browser you are using is not listed in the link above, then just go to google and search "how to delete cookies <insert browser name here>" and you'll find step by step guides on how to do it.
This will affect people using computers (desktop, laptop) and mobile devices (phones, tablets).
If my deduction is correct... then this will stop you from having any further problems logging in as someone else.
An easier way to check, if you don't want to delete your cookies, is to install and use a new browser.
Hoping this works. If not, back to the drawing board.
