I've seen a lot of posts lately by Anonymous Monks, followed by replies to those posts saying "Oops, that was me--didn't realize I wasn't logged in" or similar. A couple-three months ago, someone posted a tip on how to prevent this that I think bears repeating.

If you go to your user settings, you'll see a section called 'Theme Configuration'. Simply change your Theme Container to something other than the default (me, I chose the red theme, since it stands out) and you'll be able to tell just by looking at the colors on your screen whether you're logged in or not. If it's blue, you're not logged in. If it's red (in my case), you are.

And thus, you'll never (knock wood) see me posting "Oops, thought I was logged in..."
