Users still show up as online after logging out.

Are they clicking the Log Out link? Does the Welcome box in the navbar still say they are logged in?

Yes it does. This is what a member had to say

I got that today again.....I logged myself out only to see myself as logged in. When I tried to make a post it said...I'm not logged in..go figure. I logged out again a second time and it worked. What's the story?
This is the error I got: An error occurred while attempting to log you out. Click here to log out.

You need to make this change that was added in 3.0.1.

vBulletin 3.0.1 Released - vBulletin Community Forum

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=101628

FORUMHOME
navbar
username_loggedin

Added &u=$bbuserinfo[userid] to any log out links to ensure that no one else can log many people out with an image.

Requires revert? Yes!

**madkidz** · Mon 16 Aug '04, 2:16pm

Where do I go to change it? Sorry I new to this.

**Jake Bunce** · Mon 16 Aug '04, 2:18pm

You need to edit the FORUMHOME, navbar, and username_loggedin templates. These templates are all in your template manager:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « »

Thanks

One more thing. Maybe I am missing something but when I went into my forum home I found this
<td align="$stylevar[right]"><a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=logout&u=$bbuserinfo[userid]" onclick="return log_out()"><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[log_out_x]</phrase></a></td>

</if>
</tr>
</table>

This the same as what you want me to add. Is there something I am missing?

**Jake Bunce** · Mon 16 Aug '04, 2:42pm

That link looks correct. Perhaps your users are clicking a logout link in a different template.

**madkidz** · Mon 16 Aug '04, 2:44pm

As far as I know its from the forum home page. I even got this message a few times from there.

**madkidz** · Mon 16 Aug '04, 2:55pm

This is what my username_loggedin template look like.

<td class="alt1"><b>$vbphrase[logged_in_user]:</b></td>
<td class="alt1">$bbuserinfo[username] <span class="smallfont"><a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=logout&u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[log_out]</a></span></td>

and this is what the nav template look like.
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
ht[0].style.filter = "progid

XImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1)";
if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))
{
return true;
}
else
{
ht[0].style.filter = "";
return false;
}
}
//-->

All of the logout links look correct. Which logout link did you click when you got that error message?

Users still show up as online after logging out.
