I used the link to go to the sanity score, but when I came back here to psyc central it said to log in. i figured that my login had expired so I tried. When I hit login or anything my profile page appeared.(The one saying the community sees you as....) Well I thought maybe I was not logged out, but it would not let me post or anything and my screen colors and stuff apperared as if I were not logged in. I had to shut off the internet connection and get back on again before I could login. What happened?

for some reason this happens to me ALL the time when i do the sanity score test.

I think for some reason when you come back here it corrupts the cookie your browser uses to identify you. If you don't know what that is, its a small file that gets stored so the site knows you when you come back.

Clearing your cookies should resolve the issue completely.

Yes, at the bottom of your profile page there is a "Maintence: My cookies" link and/or a "log out" link that will log you out properly from both the forums and the Sanity Score (you're lopsided since you don't log out of the forums but do log in/out of the Sanity Score but can only log out of anywhere on PC once and you're "logged out") I guess DocJohn made the log out go to the profile since that has maintenance of the cookies/log out so one can straighten out everything. PC still "sees" you but since you "logged out" of a portion, the sanity test, it is all confused.

Thanks everyone

Yeah, the two systems use the same login system, but unfortunately there's some bug with cookies on some browsers that can make you logged into one or both of them when, in fact, you are not (because your cookie has been expired).

The fix, for now, is to simply logout, and so we put the logout link on your profile page (all the way at the bottom of the page).

Sorry, we are looking into fix this problem.
