I always logged out at the end of a session under the belief that leaving an open internet connection was not safe from a security standpoint....that may or not me correct. After I logged out, I always wait for my "spinning wheel" ( the Windows busy signal) and then look at the upper right corner of the screen when the wheel stopped where one logs in to show me that I was no longer logged in. then whenever I went to the site, I was not logged in and had to then log in......now even again this morning when I got to this site, I was logged in without doing anything, and when I lit the log out button, nothing happens.
