Trouble logging out

Post by Rowena »

Hi! I'm having trouble logging out. It started about a month ago, just after I was made a moderator. I hit logout, and it says I'm still logged in. When I close out and then come back it says I'm logged out, but my name is still in the active users box. I've brought this up before, but I figured I should put my question here. Is there a way to fix this?

This problem cropped up due to the former integration of the forums and the gallery. Hopefully, they are now re-integrated and you should be able to log out properly.

If not, click Gallery, and then click Logout [Rowena]. Logging in and logging out should then be successful (try that only if the forum's link does not work).

Thank you,

I tried that, and I'm still logged in. I was wondering...my name's spelled wrong on the Not-Crawler Art section (it says Rewena). Could that be related to why I can't log out?

No. The only other thing you can do is clear your cookies, which will nuke your login. Do you need instructions for your browser?

Clearing my cookies was the first thing I tried. The first time this happened, I cleared the cookies and all the private data on my computer, my dad's computer, and our family's laptop, and I did it again four times after that. But I still can't log out anywhere, in Explorer or Firefox, at home or at school. So, I've stopped logging in at school. Is there anything else I could try?

Thanks for your suggestions!

If you cleared your cookies, then you're logged out; there's no way to maintain your session on this forum without cookies. So the only other possibility is caching.
