An error occurred while attempting to log you out. Click here to log out.

I've been getting this since July. Happens maybe half the time when I log out. Never happened before July.

Is it just me? Or is it DH? It started about the same time DH was upgraded. I'm on firefox. I block scripts etc. Just need to know if I'm the only one with this then I can look at my settings and adjust if necessary.

It's no big deal though. I just hate error messages.

Try to clear disc cache and cookies.

I have it set to clear the cache evry time I close firefox. I just cleared all data anyhow, both cookies and cache but it still happens.

I think you are saying it's just me yeh? It doesn't happen with other vbulletin boards just this one though. Having said that I very rarely log in anywhere else and just remain a lurker, in the background.

Cozumel, you're no the only one. I am using Firefox 3 and Adblock+. Just tried logging out multiple times, and it failed (while on this post, anyway.). I'll try testing around a little and give you a clear answer on the cause.

Alright, with Adblock+ disabled, bug still happens. If you clicked the "Click here to log out", it says "Cookies cleared!". You probably have Reject all Cookies on or something like that, or it's not compatible with how Firefox handles cookies. Just looked at the source, and the logging out sequence is in javascript, Firefox 3 updated in a security fix how javascript can write/read files.
