Title: Why does my account log itself in?
Post by: rabbitman on February 17, 2011, 06:23:05 pm: Yeah, I log out and within 5-10 minutes when I come back it has logged back in. I think it's been doing this for less than a week.

Twice I've logged out, exited the site and came right back to find that I'm logged in again.

Is it my computer or the website?

Yeah, lots of times I log out and use the same window to go somewhere else and leave lots of tabs at the top open so I can leave different parts sites open and all that.

Guess I'll just log out and close the window every time then.

A few times I've done that and after the 2nd or 3rd time logging out it'll stay logged out. Getting rather annoying.

Now that you mention it, I delete all that ever couple days but lately I haven't been able to get rid of about a dozen cookies and vwdiesel.net is one of 'em.

Maybe that's it then, idk it just started saving the cooky and before that it worked fine, this site has been in the favorites for 5 years ( ;D) without a problem.
