Author Topic: I cannot logout. (Read 1092 times)

I am having a problem with Cathinfo. The problem is that it won't let me logout. Every time I click on logout instead of logging me out it goes to an error page. Is anyone else having this problem?

Someone else PM'd me with that problem. I tried and it worked as normal for me.

Does it happen 100% of the time? When did the problem begin?

It began I believe yesterday and since it started it happened every time I tried to logout.

I could not log out either, but apparently the problem is now fixed. Not sure what caused it. Try now and see.

I have only multiple different days, tried to create a poll in regards to what cathinfo members believe on EENS, and every time when I am finished and everything is ready, it says, Error, and the administrator will be notified, but it still has not worked.

Moot point. Why would anyone ever want to log out?

I do not have this problem.

I ~~never~~ don't log out, but sometimes I find that I have been logged out.

I still cannot logout. I wonder how long it will last. People will come to think I spend all of my time visiting Cathinfo because they will look at the active users and always see my name there.

That's not true.

You are only "logged in" for about 15 minutes since your last activity. The system automatically logs you out of the active users after 15 minutes.

Your local PC will keep a logged-in cookie for about a month (I think) before auto-expiring. That's why you have to log in every so often.

Now if you want to forcibly log yourself out (after posting in the Anonymous forum, for example) that's about the only reason you need to log off on purpose.

But I don't know why it wouldn't work for some, but work fine for others. As far as I know, logging out is a server-side issue, so it should work the same for all. Especially since it gives you an error message. Error messages are generated by the SERVER, so it's server-side. One behavior for all.

That's why I concluded "I don't know what to tell ya" since several people tested it successfully, including myself. I can't get the error to reproduce here.

Oh I did not know that. Thanks.

Whatever was wrong is working now. I can log out again. If you fixed anything, thanks Matthew.
