Yeah, I'm stumped. I tried everything I could find about deleting cookies in php, and it's just not working.

Because books.

We see you there, ita. We see you.

I haven't had any of the hanging issues that msbelle mentioned, although a couple of double posts have happened. No problem with logging out as long as I don't have 'remember me' selected in profile.

No problem with logging out as long as I don't have 'remember me' selected in profile.

When I unselected "remember me" I was able to log in and out on Firefox without a problem.

I'm not having any hanging issues or double posts. I never use the Message Center, so I don't know if that makes a difference.

Unselecting "remember me" has the side-effect of logging out out of EVERY system you're logged into.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Apparently, this is a known bug:

I am able to Log Out in IE, but not Firefox.

Logging out is a known bug.

I was able to log out after I changed the profile to not remember me.

Tom, I think this is by design, because ita made this note up above:

session cookies--good LORD, is this ever a hack! Let me just say--there's a better way to do this. I don't know what it is, but it does exist. It has to. And I do wonder--would a "remember me on this computer" option be useful in addition to the "remember me ALWAYS" we already have implemented?

Huh, I had the exact same conversation in June '13, but have zero memory of it.

For me it isn't a biggee since I never log out of the board on my devices and all the devices have their own systems of locks. It hasn't happened that I have logged on here from a computer in a library or some other person's machine.

Interesting anyway.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

So far as I can tell, this is still the memory allocation overrun problem. However, at a quick glance, I don't have an easy solution beyond increasing the allocation more, which is more dollars, and at the moment without doing a little more work, I am uncertain exactly how much we would need to increase it to reliably stay up.

I gave myself some more permissions tonight, and obviously Scola has keys, but is it time to get our new developer volunteers their credentials?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The "E-mail Admins" tool doesn't work if you are not signed in. I signed out, clicked the link, completed all three fields, and clicked [Post]. All three fields cleared, and I got error messages for all three. Is this a bug or a feature?
