|
|
I have just opened Pocket GPS World Forum Index, from a link in my favourites, and found that I am already logged in. Any ideas why this might be?
Before you suggest it, yes I have had multiple pages open in previous sessions. However, since this happened once or twice before I am very careful about making sure that I am logged out of all open pages and not just closing the pages before I finally quit the site.
Any help would be useful. |

to really make sure you are logged out you will also have to clear the cookie that our site places on your computer. _________________ Lutz

There's no need to log out, logging out won't actually do anything apart from let you browse the forum without being logged in (which means you can't reply/post). I always leave myself logged in and just close the web browser and everything will be fine. |

Thanks for the info. I think I understand it.
I just don't see why logging in/out is needed, if when you register you are given a cookie that identifies you each time you view the site?
Oh well! As long as there isn't some sinister imposter logged on as me I suppose it's OK |

Whenever I have quit the site without logging out first, the next time I visit I need to log in. Also after this any new posts since last visit are not highlighted. This is very frustrating.
I assumed it was a cookie issue but as I did not delete all cookies and then logged in again and the same thing happened I dismissed it as a cookie issue. |

It's a cookie issue, logout, delete the cookie, clear your cache and then visit the site via www.pocketgpsworld.com and you won't have an issue. |
