The cookie problem that was preventing logouts has apparently cleared itself. By the time I got to it this morning everything seemed to be working normally. I suspect that daylight savings time triggered the problem.

A few things VitaBene:
1. The traffic on the entire site has about doubled since a month ago. This is typical as spring and ice-out approach. My stats exclude search engine and other bots so my numbers are actual visitors. The current forum visitor stats are also about doubled since a month ago which is consistent.
2. The "Guests" shown can not post, they are just visiting. Some are regular forum visitors and many come here from Google and other searches. The number of guests always far exceeds the number of members.
3. The visitor count on the forum also includes PhotoPost visitors since they share the same user database. Google Images sends lots of visitors to PhotoPost and they all show up as Guests.
The stats on the Forum index have several variables and are not always perfect. They are a good indication of the level of activity at any one time.
