I never log out.  I'm afraid this creaky old software wouldn't let me log in again.  It doesn't hurt to just stay logged in.

   What browser? Chrome, Firefox and others have a setting that will keep you logged in or log you in automatically when you open the page.

Clear your browser's cache and you will be logged out...along with all of your other logged in sites.  Like others, I just stay logged in.

I’m with Mr. B on this. I did logout a couple of years back and wondered at the time if I was ever going to be able to login. It is obvious that I did but I am unwilling to undergo that experience again.

As most already know I use arcaic hardware/software. You should too! It prevents stuff like this from happening.

That being said, when you logged in - did you forget to uncheck that little box on the log in window that says "keep me logged in"?

Not that that button really works, but for some it still does. 

(old website = old puter to work best since it was designed for it)

For your peace of mind, it really doesnt matter if your still logged in. Enjoy the glitch, its one of the few harmless glitches you will encounter on the electronic sewer.

You also need to click on allowing the web browser to clear out passwords.

I searched & this thread was the most relevant.

I already had a password & username for trains.com and I logged in. I was able to view the track plan database & the CTT forum. But I could not able post anything. A message said to login even though my name was at the top of the screen. Logging in again did not work.

Then I logged into directly what hopefully was the CTT forum & my password did not work so I indicated that I forgot it. Next screen had me enter my customer number & it let me proceed to enter a new password., which I did.   Now it appears I am able to post to the CTT forum. It also automatically brought up my trains.com username.

I wanted to see if I needed  both passwords & tried to logout of trains.com and CTT but neither site lets me.

When I searched the CTT forum why did I end up on the MR forum?

Do I need to have two passwords, presuming I’m able to log out?

Thanks for any help.
