Problems logging out the forum.

[Obsttorte]

The title already says it.

 

Normally I log out the forum pnce I am finished with my ... hmmm... business here, and the browser shows this to me.

 

However, If I restart the browser I am logged in again.

 

Wonder if anybody else noticed this behaviour?!

There's probably a cookie you need to delete, and then untick (or don't tick) keep me signed in next time you visit. Or remove the remember password for this site if you're using something like Firefox, it might have got clicked or turned on by accident. Normally the easiest way I can find to get logged out of here when I visit is to run CCleaner and let it clear the browser stuff out.

Deleting the cookie will fix it temporarily, sure, but it sounds there might be a problem with the forum setup too. Surely clicking 'logout' should delete the cookie for you. That's what it means to log out as opposed to simply closing the brower tab.

Was there an update to your browser that reset your privacy settings? E.g. "clear cache when browser is closed", "delete cookies", etc.

I didn't changed anything at all on my site.

 

To be more precise about what's happening. I am only logged in again after I have restarted my pc. Closing Firefox and reopening it does not cause this behaviour.

Funny update: The login problem is gone, so I stay logged out. But now it's the case that if I attempt to log in I get an error message telling me I am not allowed to. If I enter the forums address again, I am properly logged in.

 

Weird.

I've setup my browser to delete all cookies on close, that should fix it. (If you need some sites cookies "forever" you can make exceptions in FF).
