    Happened to me a few weeks ago! But when I went to the next page it went back to normal. I thought it was a bit odd at the time...

    Hmmm, I've been having trouble logging into my YouTube account lately...

    I'v never had any problems myself with YouTube.

    Maybe it was a problem with cookies/sessions...causing a glitch?

    Has YouTube being told of this? :)

    Looks like a session collision. Highly unlikely, but possible.

    This once happened to me on Netvibes. What made it worse in my case though, is the account it logged me into (which wasn't mine obviously) had a Gmail module loaded up, letting me read any and all of this particular persons mail if I had wanted to.

    I didn't of course, just logged out and it let me back into 'my' account. It only disturbed me because I wondered if anyone in turn had ever been granted access to my own personal account information.

    Very strange. After reading this, I went to my gmail account and saw a "someone has replied to your comment" message from YouTube. I didn't think I had posted any comments lately, so I went to check, and it has a comment saying "Truly Horrible" to some guy playing guitar. And it was written 4 days ago! I didn't leave that comment. Very strange indeed.

    @Exer
    That exact thing happened to me on Netvibes as well about a year ago. Continued off and on for about 3 days with several different accounts showing up. I contacted Netvibes and they just kept trying to blame IE7 beta and stated it wasn't supported yet.

    It's never happened since then and I use Netvibes everyday.
