You should go to a different Web Page (non-VBForums) and then from your browser, clear your cookies. Alternatively -- if you know how -- you can delete all VBForums cookies.Quote:

Brad!
What about clicking the "Log Out" link at the top right corner of the forums pages?
That should bring up a messagebox asking if you want to log out. If you say
yes then it will clear your cookies.
I just noticed a problem, if I use IE and goto the www.vb-forums.com domain and log in it logs me out straight away. I chnaged it to www.vbforums.com and it works.
In FF Both www.vb-Forums.com & www.vbforums.com work fine.
I like the gray out effect you get in IE when you click the log out button, pitty its an IE only thing :(.
Yes, its a nice feature. Its similar to XP's log out screen.
:D

So -- if the logout button doesn't work, the first thing to try is clearing cookies manually. The logout button should then work from that point forward.
