Why is my User ID shown as logged on even though not even logged in or on computer

happy2010

Hi,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I was just made aware that my dgrin user ID: “happy2010” was showing that I was online even though I have been sign out and my computer was completely shut down. Another computer, in a different city, which clicked on www.dgrin.com (without logging in) showed that “happy2010” was signed in/logged on to the site, even though my computer was physically turned off!<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Is there another “happy2010” user, or is there a glitch? Concerned with possible security and also if other Dgrinners are online and thinking I am not responding to any of the forum threads that I have posed questions on - it makes me look irresponsible, which I am not.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Could this be fixed?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Thank you for your help and a wonderful web site... Mary<o:p></o:p>

Hi Mary,

I don't see any sign of there being a duplicate name. User names appear on the In Da House and front page for 30 minutes after their last activity, even if they have signed off, but I'm guessing that's not what's going on here. It could simply be a bug in the forum software. Just to play it safe, I would go to the User Control Panel and change the password.

thank you!
Thank you Richard!! I believe you are correct. It is the 30 minute window which I didn't realized that User name is still there in In Da House. I feel much better now. No problems in your software..

Thank you for your speedy response!! Have a wonderful day! Mary
