rubydazzler Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I recently downloaded Firefox on the advice of several people to overcome the flashing screen and overlapping pages problems experienced in the chatroom using IE. However, it won't let me log out from here. I logout but everytime I return I appear to be still logged in ... that is I dont have to sign in, I can just click onto a thread. I don't want to get a rep as a Forum Squatter ... so can any of you techie types tell me why this is happening, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghozer Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Even if you 'stay logged in' you wont show as "logged in" on the main page unless your activly viewing the site, You could also ask it to not keep you logged in or remember your password etc when you login (the tick box) it storres it in a local cookie, but the above method works too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaks Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Why would you ever need to log out??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggletail Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Log Out. Then press <Ctrl>+<F5> (which reloads the page from the server, rather than your local cache) That's a great tip. I've been messing about with web pages/uploading to webspace and it tokk me about a day to realise that my edited pages were uploading to the webspace, i was just viewing an earlier cached page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a mystery - I'll try that tip though, thanks sccsux. edit to say - i've just realised what your screenname says .. hehee .. how slow am I! I say scux to myself usually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
