Just a comment-
i've noticed that if i don't log out from this site on my work computer, even after i clear my cache/cookies etc the next day i'll still be logged in. Also, i can go home and be logged in if i've done the same thing there. It might be something to keep in mind when you are using the site on a public computer...make sure to log out otherwise others could access your account. Normally once you log into a stie on another computer the first computer logs you out.
I've not noticed this happening with other forums, mail programs etc...just on this site so i wanted others to be aware.
Thanks Shy, that is a great heads up! I am on a private pc, so I never log out of anything, so I did not know...
I think the exception is usually bank sites which always time-out after a certain time but it's still good practice anyways especially on public access sites.
