Not a button I normally use, and not a report I've had before. I tried it out though ... and it worked for me, perfectly as far as I can see.

Questions ...
a) Did you log out and in again as it suggested?
b) If so, did it cure the problem, or does the problem remain?

I get that message wanting me to logout sometimes, I think when I try to post having left the browser open on a page for a long time. Refreshing the page (possibly a hard refresh, which I think is normally Ctrl+F5) normally does the trick.

Don't DOO^▸ it, keep the guard (but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea if the driver unlocked the doors on arrival at calling points).

There are two levels of presence on the forum (and indeed on many other bits of software).

Firstly, you'll have a long-term cookie that recognises you when you return - even after a few days or weeks - if you didn't log out. And with that set, regular users are able to perform most of their actions.

Secondly, you have a session which times out after (I think) 30 minutes of inactivity. As admin I need to have logged in to start a new session to do much of that admin work - and that means that at times I log out and then straight back in.

You'll find similar things happen on some online shopping sites - you can return to a site and fill your shopping cart with a longterm cookie, but to confirm / place an order you also need to be logged in via a session.

Thanks people.

It really doesn't cause me any great problems, but I though I'd raise it.
