While testing, I created a new user and fat-fingered my e-mail address.
As a result, I never received the activation e-mail. When I realized
what I'd done, I tried to logout using the status bar link, but it
wouldn't log out the inactive user. Attempting to view the Memberlist allowed me to log in as the Admin and fix the e-mail address. From that point I was able to resend the activation e-mail and, once the account was activated, logout properly. This only happens when creating new accounts. Activated accounts are able to logout properly. This is in v9.02 and v9.03. Thank, -Jeremy |

I been through to double check this as it sounds very odd and can not replicate this. Non-activated members are able to logout the same as full members, their forum session is destroyed in exactly the same way. Make sure you don't have a corrupted file by reuploading the original files again. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Nope, re-downloading the archive and uploading log_off_user.asp. Are there any other files I need to re-upload? I have the same problem in IE and FireFox and can duplicate it by doing the following: 1. Create a new account 2. Verify that "Login" changes to "Logout [username]" 3. Click the logout link. Thanks. |

Have tried again and still can not replicate this, both on this forum and in the lab.

Still can not replicate this so can only put this down to your browser not clearing the cookie cache out. What browser and browser version are you using? ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

| I'm able to duplicate it on two systems, both with the latest versions of IE 7 and Firefox. I couldn't duplicate it on this forum. Clearing cookies had no effect. |

drizz001 was able to supply more information on this to support and found the issues was because the forum was not placed in the root of the web site. Have now fixed this for the next release for those running the software in a sub folder. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Excellent, thanks Drizz and Borg! Borg, is it a quick fix I can implement on my forum before the next release comes out? Thanks again. |
