Hi all, first post here, hope i hav'nt missed anything 🙂
Ive tied a small CMS ive made into PHPbb for a clan website im doing. Ive ironed out almost every problem but this one.
On the main page, i have a "Welcome back <username>". If your logged into the forum, it says your username, if not, you get 2 links to register or log in.
If i logout of the forum, it still says "Welcome back <username>", even when i refresh the page. If i close the page, and reopen it in a new IE window, it correctly identifys that the user isnt logged in.
I have tried telling it not to cache the page, but that doesnt work. Even a force refresh (ctrl + F5) produces the same result.
What makes it more annoying is it works flawlessly in Opera and other browsers, just not in IE, which is leading me to think that its keeping a variable somhow and dislaying it. The only thing i can think that it is is the cookie : When a user is loged out of the forum, the cookie is supposed to die, but as another IE window is open, it waits for it to close and then kills the cookie.
If thats the case, any ideas how to overcome it ?, force IE to kill a cookie even if other windows using it are open ?
Many thanks for anyone who can offer any input 🙂
