I log-out, but I am still logged-in...???

LGPhotoArt

I have noticed, very often, that the following happens:
I log-in, do what I need to do, then log-out...then I open my browser again hours later and when I enter my website I am already logged-in.
Sometimes even if I enter my site the day after a log-out, after having restarted my computer. How is it possible?
Before you ask, I always un-check "Remember Me" at login.
I use Windows Explorer 7 and WinXP SP2.
Any idea what may cause this? Is it just me?

When you say that you logout, are you clicking on the logout link in the footer of SmugMug? Or, are you just closing or quitting your web browser? If it's the latter, keep in mind that our system sets a cookie and will remember that you are logged in for next time on that computer.

I use the link in the footer of the page. I always do that before closing the browser.

you are logging out from your custom domain or your SmugMug address?

Andy, I am not sure I understand your question. However you made me notice that some of my pages still run under the lgphotoart.smugmug.com (e.g. Portfolio page and Galleries page), whereas other pages are directly under my domain name lgphotoart.com.
Probably because I started with the lgphotoart.smugmug.com domain name, and then later bought my domain name thru GoDaddy.
Can this be the cause? Any idea how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I have changed my links so that everything points to my domain rather than the domainname.smugmug.com.
I don't know if this fixes the problem yet, I will have to wait until tomorrow to do some test.

I don't see any lgphotoart.smugmug.com links on your site - do you have any bookmarked in your browser?

Andy, you probably missed my last reply (just before yours). I have found how to change the links, and now all my pages link to lgphotoart.com.
I believe this has probably fixed my logout problem, I have done some test and it seems to work just fine right now. I'll keep my eyes open, but thank you all for your help.
Happy Holidays.
