I haven't been able to log out for days. Anyone know what the problem is? I have clicked the logout button many times, yet whenever I get back to the forum I see that I am logged in.

Trouble logging out?

Tom,
I had your problem, but if you follow Stewarts advice about Cookies, it works.
For me this meant logging out of this Forum. Opening the Internet explorer page. Going to tools, internet options, then delete browser history,cookies,temporary internet files and passwords. I then checked that my favourites icon to FTLOP didn't start with www. It did so I found it again on the internet and added that to my favourites.
After all that I'm back with it as it was. I also have to remember all the passwords for everything I use, for the first time all over again.
Its a real fun ten minutes. And you never get that time back! :)

I did have the same problem as you Tom. My own problem (after trying Stewart's recommendations several times) was that I log in from both work and home. The work URL has the www in front, the home one does not. I had left myself logged in at work, and did all the troubleshooting at home.
I ended up remoting into my work machine one night and discovering this fact.
After that, it was simply a matter of remembering to log out each time I left home for when I went to work, my "unread post" flags would not be working properly. Not suggesting this is YOUR problem in particular, but if you, like me, use multiple computers (especially ones where the IPs will be coming from different gateways such as ADSL routers, proxy servers at work, etc) then this could help a little.
