Computer Security
Have you changed your password recently? If another individual knows your password, they can take your identity and make posting on your behalf. I recommend that you first try ro change your password.
Yes, hackers can "enter" your PC. It has happend to me. They need to have your direct IP Address and other details which is maintained by your Service Provider (SP). They will also need to get past any firewalls. Security is a pretty tough thing to crack these days, but it not impossible. There are things you can do to ensure your PC is inaccessible. Much of this advice can be provided by your SP. Simple things like not opening suspicious e-mails or e-mail attachments which can carry Trojan Software, or Spyware is a common sense type thing. Get your PC Checked out for any potential Trojan Virus or Spyware infections. These packages can give hackers direct access to your PC when online.
Do not go online whenever you use the PC. Only when you need the Internet. By having a idle internet connection running in the background, you increase the chances of invasion.

As for the unusual posting issue, the does sound somewhat strange. To me it has the ring of Crossed Lines of Communication, which can happen from time to time although extremely rare. If these problems are regular, then there could be an issue between your PC, your Internet Service Provider, right down the line to this site's server.
If others are experiencing the same types of issues, then it would be on the site. If you are isolated in these experiences, then it would more than likely be your PC or Service Provider.
