Logging in to 2 different places at a time?

Fox Body · 01-13-2002, 07:12 PM

If I log in (into MW) at one computer, then close out the browser and then log in at another computer, will it log me out from the first one. My concern is that if I use someone else's (or a public) computer, after I close the browser out, will someone be able to come behind me and post using my username?

I have my personal computer set so that when I open up this site, I don't have to log in. But I expect to always have to log in when using someone else's. That's the way it should be right? (am I making any sense?)

I know what you are saying, however, it's not going to work the way you want it to if you have your account options set to save cookies and auto log you in. Any time you log in using a browser with that option set it will save your account using cookies on that browser so that the next time you come back it will auto log you in. Unfortunately, if you are going to use several system that are public to log in and want to make sure your account isn't saved on them you'll have to turn that option off. Of course, this also means that you'll have to manually log into the board each time you come back, even on your personal system.

Or, at least I'm farely sure that's the deal without really looking into it again.
