Forum software 'sticks' on Logout?

Probably one for Paul, rather than a Mod.?

When I logout:
I get a 'processing request' pop-up, at the bottom-left of the screen (old, slow laptop), and the rotating 'circle' by the address in the Chrome tab..
This stays like this 'forever', never getting to refresh as a logged-out screen.

If I try to go to any other part of the software, I then get the 'logon error' screen, as I need to be logged-in.

I have supposedly deleted 'all offline content'.

Any ideas?

I'm just permanently logged in!
 
My response was no real use to PhilP so I tried to log out and I was logged out. Clicked log in and I was back so the problem may not be the forum but still could be. I am on an iMac using Firefox.

PhilP at w*rk I use win 7 and Chrome, and so I just logged out, no pop-up, but the circle did whirl for 30 seconds plus, then took me to the G Scale login page, so it may be your system!
 
Thanks Jimmy,
Very probably.. just had an 'establishing secure connection' as I went to your reply..
So could be anything from Laptop, local WiFi, my broadband, to the Interweb in-general?

Just wondered if there was a 'token' of some sort, on the Server, which might need clearing?? :think:
 
HI PhilP

Best solution is to bin the pc and get a new iMac Pro, to do this however you may need to sell everything you own.

Upgrade to windows 10, we can not test on windows 7 anymore as we dont have any of those, can try on Commodore 64, Altair 8800, XZ Spectrum, XZ81 and soon the nice new Spectrum Next :)

Your browser might know. Go to the preferences and look in the security section where it might have somewhere to show passwords.

Really? How would an IT illiterate person manage that task, particularly if at work and access to such screens is forbidden.

Point of this, how can we get to reset our Password in the Forum if we have forgotten it pretty please?

You can't..

If you wanted to set a new password, you would need your existing password to do this. - Else anybody could do it!

You have to ask nicely, and one of the Mods. / Paul will reset it.. - Then, knowing the password you have been given, you can alter it.

I thought that the forum software now logged you out after 30 days as a security measure, and that you then had to (a) log in again and (b) enter a validation code to set up your device as "trusted" for the next 30 days. If this isn't correct then maybe I've managed to get on some "dodgy geezers" list that keeps prompting me to login and revalidate. Or maybe the drugs are addling my brain more than ever and I'm imagining the whole thing ...

Oh normal process with many sites is to send a message to either an alternative mail or mobile with a code to be used. Course you need to declare these at sign in for this to work.
