...I can't Log Out. I hit the Log Out button and it says my cookies are cleared but yet I'm still logged in, even after I close the browser and reopen it. What gives? :confused:
 
happened to me too.

Did you clear your History?


May also need to Delete temporary internet files.


Had to go through this a number of times helping another person get logged onto bladeforums.
 
A wizard did it.

Actually I have no clue what could be causing that. Depending on your browser it could be a case of it still running as a background process, only giving the impression that you are logged out.
 
In the past, it has been a solution to hold the "CONTROL" button down as you click on the "Refresh" icon.
 
If it still doesn't let you log off do control, alt, delete. Then just look for Iexplorer and end process
 
I'm wondering if the logoff button actually logs you off, or if it just clears cookies and then you time out. It seems like someone will just sit on a thread for a long time until it says they're logged off.

If it the browser process is actually being ended but the cookies aren't being cleared, you can delete them manually. In Firefox I make all cookies session-only. When the browser gets closed, they get deleted. You can do this with a cookie manager of some kind as well.

It will probably still say you're logged in until you time out.
