Techies, please try to break the security. I closed several security holes, but I feel like I shouldn't detail what they were.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Also please check to make sure you can't get to stuff you shouldn't when logged out. I set things up so you have to explicitly designate that something is available to a non-logged-in user, but there are a lot of potential routes on the site and I could have easily messed up a couple.

Is Read New working?
Edit: Oh, I see, I'm not subscribed to anything.

What is even happening?
I'm sorry to interrupt the upgrade talk.
When I click "Log out" in the upper lefthand corner, the board refreshes (at least the random quote does), but I remain logged on.
I could clear all my browser date, but I don't want to log off of everything else. Also, I'm a little afraid if logging off doesn't work, that logging on (at a later time) might not work, either.
I'm on a MacBook Pro 2018, running Google Chrome Version 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit).
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there something I can do to fix it?

Logging out is broken, but logging in still works fine.

Okay. Thank you, Gud!

Hey. New board.
Cindy, if you install the super useful browser extension "Edit this Cookie" it will, among other nerdy features, give you the option to remove cookies for just one site, this logging out of b.org without others.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Great voting utility! Minor note: When you vote, the acknowledgement reads "Your vote has been recored" (sic)
While I'm at it, some other minor notes:
- It would be nice if one could change their vote after voting.
- I think the in-thread menu bar (First Previous Next Last Recent) should be left justified rather than centered as it is now. None of the other toolbars are centered, so I find it to be jarring.
- In the Admin Threads area, is it possible to move threads that have been closed for more than X years over to some other area? As it stands, the list of threads is a bit overwhelming. It's not as though anyone will ever need to maintain a Natter thread that's already been replaced 10 times.
- In conclusion, great work, Gud!

Gud, I've never been able to get login to work over there--any troubleshooting advice?
