I can click on "Logout" and it seems to go ok, at least it doesn't spawn any kind of error message. But when the page reloads, I'm still logged in...
Using win98, and IE 5.5

You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.

If you need to log out for some reason and are running into this problem try going to the cookie kill page.

Actually, even after I visit the deleted cookie link, the customized font settings from my user configuration are still active.

Monju, that is just plain creepy. Yet somehow I couldn't . . . stop . . . listening.

yeah, the font settings aren't destroyed, just the login details.
