Logging off

[RLW]

I have been trying to log off now for 2 days and the message below keeps coming up, but any time I go on to view the site I'm still logged on.

"All cookies cleared!
Return to the page you were previously viewing
Go to forums index "

I'm having the same problem. I'll check it out later tonight.

Hi Don,

I was able to log in and then log out OK a few times. When I come back I am a "guest".

During one of my tests I logged in while in the Gallery. I stayed on the main gallery page and then went to log out. When I logged out I got the cookies cleared OK etc. and saw the main gallery page BRIEFLY. Then was re-directed to a Page Not Found notice with the Winnipesaukee.Com logo.

I repeated the log in/out while at Gallery main page and got the same result.

Hope this is of some help in isolating the difficulty.

Thanks again for the web site.

6:36 PM... you may be working on the system now. I now don't get redirected when I log out of the forum. But I can log out. I have to manually go somewhere though. Also could not duplicate Gallery log in/out difficulty noted above... It just sat there telling me that I should automatically return to the page I was viewing and if I don't return then click... etc..

P.S. I'm using Mozilla

Don,

Is this why the # of persons viewing seems to be inflated. I can't remember the last time the general discussions area had less than 40 viewing it but frankly, there is so little posting going on that there really cannot be that many online IMO.

The cookie problem that was preventing logouts has apparently cleared itself. By the time I got to it this morning everything seemed to be working normally. I suspect that daylight savings time triggered the problem.

A few things VitaBene:

1. The traffic on the entire site has about doubled since a month ago. This is typical as spring and ice-out approach. My stats exclude search engine and other bots so my numbers are actual visitors. The current forum visitor stats are also about doubled since a month ago which is consistent.

2. The "Guests" shown can not post, they are just visiting. Some are regular forum visitors and many come here from Google and other searches. The number of guests always far exceeds the number of members.

3. The visitor count on the forum also includes PhotoPost visitors since they share the same user database. Google Images sends lots of visitors to PhotoPost and they all show up as Guests.

The stats on the Forum index have several variables and are not always perfect. They are a good indication of the level of activity at any one time.

I continue to have the problem. I have tried to log off now 4 or 5 times and I remain logged on even after clearing and coming back to the forum.
Thanks

I just logged in and out on 3 different computers without trouble.

Until I can recreate the problem my best suggestion is to clear the cookies in your browser manually. In Internet Explorer it is under Tools|Internet Options.

10-4, I guess I just wish lurkers would post more- I love forum discussions especially about one of my favorite subjects- Winnipesaukee!
