Subject: Member API Doesn't Logoff Forum Account

I am using a membership API (blnMemberAPI = True in functions_member_API.asp). I am experiencing the following:

Forum:

Logon - ok, logon in functions_member_API works in parallel with both membership and forumLogoff - Logoff - ok, logoff in functions_member_API works in parallel with both membership and forum

Memberpages:

Logon - ok, transfers session to forum and both are logged in

Logoff - only logs off membership pages, not forum

How can I get the member page to logoff the forum account also so the user won't show active? Can I somehow rig log_off_user.asp page? My concern is a user will think they logged off from the system by clicking on Logoff in the member pages, but the forum account is still logged in! Probably something very simple I overlooked...

Thanks in advance!!!

I have the following happening, but it's not good enough apparently -

   Session.Contents.Remove("USER")
   Session.Contents.Remove("PASSWORD")
   Session.Contents.Remove("EMAIL")

Do I need to somehow identify the getSessionItem("KEY") or lngLoggedInUserID?

Ok, it looks like this works - please yell "STOP" if I'm doing something that doesn't look safe -

First I created another copy of log_off_user.asp (to not interfere with the original's function) and changed the following condition:

If lngLoggedInUserID > 0 AND Request.QueryString("XID") = getSessionItem("KEY") Then
to
If getSessionItem("KEY") <> "" Then

Lastly, I redirect to this new log_off_user.asp page upon logout of my other registration app. Once this page is loaded, it appears to automatically remove the existing forum session.
