    Cannot logout

    I have a problem logging out. Every time I click the logout option it shows me the message "All cookies cleared" But I can see still see my name and the logout option. Tried several times, same result.

    usfret: chances are you might have some old cookies which are not deleted. I'd recommend deleting all your geoexpat cookies or all your cookies and trying.

    Hi KIA,

    Sorry if this is a silly question but how does one go about deleting cookies?

    Ok. I found it and deleted all cookies. I also disabled the add-ons. But now I have a pop up every now and then asking if I want to enable the add-on!

    You don't need to disable the add ons. Just enable them and only clear cookies if you have that issue.

    Two ways at least:
    * Some anti-spyware software can help removing unwanted cookies, but they can be a nuisance themselves.
    * For cookies for Internet Explorer, close IE and go to:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<your_account_name>\Local Settings\Temp\Cookies
    and delete the cookies you do not want. Note that if you delete useful cookies, you will lose the login, history or preference information for those sites.
