Someone's sending messages in live cam rooms from my account while i'm logged on. I've changed my password and messages still came through. Anyone have any insight?

They are almost certainly faking your name by using a capital letter "I" where you have a small letter "L". Looks the same on screen and happens more frequently than you might think :-( Either change your username to one that does not contain any letters thst can be swapped out like that, or register the variation as one of your own permanent names, so no one else can use it as a temp name ;-)

The commenters above are correct. This is especially common if you have a lower case "L" or a capital "I" in your username.
