Log Out Issues

[SilverHawk]

Hmmm...

I can't log out. It says I'm logged out, but then I'm not. Any ideas?

How did you try?

Because I have that same issue with the Log Out button on the side navigation bar. However, if you go to "Forum Home" and scroll down, it'll say "Log Out <Your name here>" and THAT way seems to work.

 

[SilverHawk]

Neither worked.

But I tried my deleting temporary files, so if I'm gone, it worked.

-Edit-

Nope. But I'm going to bed anyway.

 

[DM Cross]

Huh, the forum home one always works for me... Oh well!

Wait for staff to get on, they'll know

Or they'll swear and get to fixing it

It might help if you cleared your cookies.

I notice you log out, it clears cookie.

But your IE session isn't expired. So you can still do whatever you like, and I gotta wait a while.

Thanks, that did it.

 

[DM Cross]

... But I like my cookies!

...

OOH.

THAT kind of cookie

Mmmm, chocolate chip ... (with diced anchovies and pickled garlic of course)

WHO would want to log out of TH? I just auto-log-in every time, rofl

 

[DM Cross]

That's what I do on most my sites, but there's a huge downfall to it.

Every now and again, gotta erase all the cookies and temp net files because it's just lagging TOO DAMN MUCH!

What's that mean?

I suddenly have to remember like 10 passwords for all the sites I visit.

TH
OM
Static-X board
Photobucket
Elfwood
Xanga
Allpoetry
And a few other ones that are just general bullcrap.

Not fun.

This is happening because I changed the cookie format for thehelper.net.

When you log out, it is deleting the new cookie. But the old one remains.

To make things worse, the old cookies are set to expire in one year, so they are not clearing themselves either.

The tutorial site is programmed to delete the old cookies if you visit it, but the forums do not.
