Cannot log out

Clicking on the "Log Out" link doesn't work. Doing so causes the screen to turn grayscale and a popup comes up asking if I'd like to log out. Clicking on OK closes the popup, but the screen remains grayscale and I am not logged out. Navigating to other pages doesn't log me out, either.

I'm using Internet Explorer 7, and it's quite necessary to log out as this isn't my computer.

Thanks.

 

Yikes! Just out of curiosity, which "Log Out" link are you using (i.e. where is it located)?

 

Chris, the link in the Quick Links dropdown is knackered.

 

Ugh, alright - thanks for letting me know. For the time being, try using the link that is located near the very bottom (right-hand side) of the index page.

 

Yep, I'm aware of this problem and still haven't figured out how to fix it. As Chris mentioned, you'll need to use the one on the bottom of the forum index.

 

Code:

<a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=logout&logouthash=$bbuserinfo[logouthash]" onclick="return log_out('Are you sure you want to log out?')">$vbphrase[log_out]</a>

?

 

Here's what I have; I will leave it up to you to tell me if it's different than yours, because if it is, then I missed it the first 50 times I checked:

Code:

<a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=logout&logouthash=$bbuserinfo[logouthash]"  onclick="return log_out('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]')">$vbphrase[log_out]</a>

It's baffling, because I copied the code from the forumhome footer (which works) and used it in the navbar - and it doesn't work. So why does it work on the forumhome but not on the navbar?

 

Before onclick, you have 2 spaces instead of one. Not sure how much effect this causes.

But I remember I purposely replaced the phrase in the onclick code, not entirely sure why I did that. It solved some issue I had at that time

 

I tried that; it didn't do the trick.

 

For me, it doesn't even stay at a grey scale interface.

It closes (screen appears in color) and I am still logged in.

I was going to report this, but I figured it was just my machine. I'm happy to know I'm not the only one.

I guess I'll have to find other ways.

 

I just noticed I have placed this code in the header template, so that explains why it does work on my forum...

 

The only real difference I can see from the source code is that on here it has a rel=nofollow in it.

Besides that, the only thing I can think of, is that it a Javascript function sitting with a Javascript dropdown, perhaps the two clash.

 

Demo, ours is in the header template as well. We don't use the standard navbar.

Mark, that may be possible as well. I'll try putting it on the bar itself rather than inside the drop-down and see if that has anything to do with it.

 

Yep, the problem was indeed that it was inside of the Quick Links menu. I wonder if there is a fix for that. Perhaps Wayne will chime in. If not, I'll go inquire at vBcom.

 

Cool!

Personally I actually think it looks better where it is now. More immediately obvious for anyone on a public or shared PC who *needs* to log out.

 

Well that is one way to increase membership.

I just tested it in my Quick Links dropdown on my test site and at first I added it by copy/paste and so it had "<td class="vbmenu_control">" around it and it worked fine. Then I saw the color was off, and changed it to "<td class="vbmenu_option">" and it broke like here. So, if you really wanted to find out why it doesn't work, that should provide a hint of some sort.
