trouble logging out

[lonecoyote]

Hi, I click on log out, it tells me all cookines are cleared, then the next time I visit, it says welcome lonecoyote, and I'm able to post immediately, so this means I stayed logged in somehow, right? forgive my ignorance and thanks in advance for replies.

I had this problem too Lonecoyote.

Go into tools, options and delete your cookies. Every once in a while it happens to me and after I delete the cookies, the log out button works again.

Hope this helps

Thank you very much, Nalia. I'll give it a try.

I happened to me yesterday or maybe the day before. But it finally logged out. TW
