I logged in as a user to my forum and noticed that I can edit other peoples threads. ??? Is that just because I am also an admin??
Yes. Isn't that the purpose of being an admin?

How does the software know he/she is logged in as another member?
You can only edit users' posts if you are logged in with the administrator account, or when the user is in a secondary (moderator) usergroup.

If that wasn't the purpose, check the user permissions in the admin cp.

that only mean your browser doesn't updated your cache, and when you go to the threads

you need to do a hard refresh (CTRL+F5)
