Hmm boRg - I just changed my email address on your forum. I was told to reactive my account. While I waited for the email to arrive, I returned back to the forum, but I was still logged in?? However, I could not enter my profile again, (cause I had not reactived yet).

I was wondering if the forum should show me as logged in, while I was waiting to reactive?

Delete your cookie then see if your still logged in!

Were you still in the same browser session, or did you close all occurrences of your browser and then come back to the forum?

Hmm.. Guess I have to explain again:

1. Go to your profile and change your email address.
You now be told that you have to reactivate before you can log in again, and an email is beeing send to your new email address. So far so good.

2. Return back to the forum.
Now it will show you as still beeing logged in. But you are not, not untill you have received the email, and reactivated.

I may be stupid, but this really did confuse me. So I wondered what people might think, if they´re not as familiare with computers like I am.

This was mostly an suggestion to somehow change the "return to forum" as showing NOT logged in insted.

But you ARE logged in or you wouldn't have been able to change your profile ;)

If in fact you are suggesting doing this so when you change your profile it automatically logs you out, what would be the point other than for 'looks'.

You are still a member, you are still logged in, whys that hard to accept, seems simple enough to me.

The confirmation email is sent as a type of security check and works very well, why go messing with the system when it works very well just now.

The point is, the forum SHOW you´re logged in, but you´re NOT! (Am I so stupid to explain in english).

This is exactly my point. You are logged out, when you change the email address, and waiting for reactivating, but the forum show you as logged in, when you return back from the profile, (and still waiting for reactivating). But even though the forum show you as logged in, you can´t do anything, cause you´re logged out untill you reactivate, (just like boRg said).

This is not simple to understand, and for god knows what reason, not simple to explain.

Give it a try and see for yourself. All you have to do is to enter your profile, change the emailaddress and return back to the forum. (Remember to change the emailadress to something you can receive mail to, otherweise you can not receive the reactivating message).

This is how nearly all other forums work, to have it logg you out will only confuse those people who use forums regularly.

Also I have absolutely NO plans to change it.

Okay.

Btw. -boRg- did you read this one:
