Trouble with staying logged out ?

Sorry to bother mods with this post but not sure what is going on with my account.

I log out often.. and more times than not when I return to the site I am already logged in ?🤔

I' ve even turned my phone off over night .. after making sure I was logged out.. and when I turn it back on and go to ATS..there I am logged in again ?

Does anyone else have a problem with this or has had ? Can the mods give me some advice perhaps ? I know I am logged out because I double check 🤔

Why log in at all? Many of us have been logged in for months to years and never go in and out. Its not necessary at all. Open ATS, bookmark that page, stay signed in...and all it will take is to click your desktop ATS icon...and youre there.

PC, Phones, Tablet or Laptop

I prefer to be logged out .. when I know I won't be on for awhile . Do I have to do it like the " many"?

I would prefer the log out feature to work as intended 😕... is that too much to ask ?

Maybe the log out feature works fine and someone is hacking into my account to read what I post ? Nah.. being paranoid 😕... if anyone gets a u2u from me ..be suspicious.. i don't send them unless for a quick reply. Sent one reply once .

* sighs*
Another feature that fails to work is my reply notification .. I have replies .. but my account always says 0
replies 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not a big deal really .. but being logged in after logging out is concerning to me .

Maybe I just need to stay away from the site for a bit and keep checking I'm logged out.

Nope. Sure is your choice. Just an add here....Im logged into all my different browsers, favorite sites, youtube..whatever, wherever...on all 4 of my different devices...never any issues, and its been years...

Only my preference...doesnt have to be yours. Best

Happy to hear that.. and maybe my paranoia problem is getting to me 😏.

I only have the one device and keep in mind you are most likely a zillion times better at this technology than I am.

I just simply want to stay logged out when I do so. 😕... thanks for offering your viewpoint and reassurance though .

Not sure what's going on there. You're posting off a phone or tablet if your smilies are anything to go off. I can log out on phone, iPad and laptop and not sure about an iPhone as I've never had one.

Have you tried logging out and then clearing your cache and history from your browser? That'll kill any log-ins and cookies.

Afterwards, you could log-in to ATS using the 'private browsing' function of your browser. You'd be automatically logged out as soon as you close the private windows/tabs. It might not be an answer to 'why can't I log out?' It's a workaround solution with the same result.

I can log out and it shows me logged out .. then when i go to the site I am already logged in ? It doesn't happen all the time but enough to make me confused.

Yes .. I am on a phone .. and I'll try your advice .. ( if I understood it properly 😏)

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply .. as it is a bit of a concern ...and I do appreciate the advice🙂

HEY! A zillion times better than you at this tech!? Whoaaaaa! ALL-OF-US....are the same. Some just farther along, more intune, better or longer or more diversely educated on some things...and even BRAIN-DEAD on others!

Never isolate yourself that way. We all should help each other along, learn something new everyday, try and help each other in some small and even seemingly insignificant way every-day!

Some as I said...are just farther down the same road....still you n me are still on it together! Peace!*

I have this problem quite a bit

a reply to: mysterioustranger

Garage door opener 😂.. that is too cute.

Thanks for the words of encouragement.. it did my heart well to read them .. and I 'll just keep plodding along learning a little more as I go .

I was actually expecting more posts calling me a lame brain .. 😂.. so the encouragement is definately a nice surprise.

For me it's different, I leave logged on, then when I return I am logged out and can't log in anymore. I just don't get it.......

Ok.. so I'm not the only one with logging in and out problems .. makes me feel a tad better.

Going to try Kandinsky's advice ..

We should ALWAYS try to encourage people....even if they arent listening.*

*Im STILL trying to get my wife to understand you cannot FRY water!

Peace!.....MS

So I decide to look how to delete cookies and clear cache on my phone and as I'm reading and starting to follow instructions ..whoops ..can't find ATS on my favorites 😕... completely gone 😂.. and I didn't delete it.

Had to search it again and save again . Odd 🤔

Oh .. and mysterious stranger... you can fry water. 😎.. I do it all the time to make poached eggs in 😜

a reply to: Sheye
