    I’m finding that if i switch sites using the msm in the CP this often prevents me from logging out of the front end of either website.  Why is this?

    I get the logging out message, but i am returned to the sites homepage still logged in.

    running latest EE1.7 build.

    Hi, Joobs.

    Double check that you aren’t mixing and matching the www and non-www versions of your site. You may be deleting only some of the cookies. I tend to use Firefox and delete all site based cookies if I run into the issue. Or you can try adding a cookie domain setting. Sometimes that’s all you need.

    I ran into the same problem and Sue mentioned the solution that worked for me.

    In your 1.7 build, navigate to: Admin > System Preferences > Cookie Settings

    Once there, define your cookie domain as such: .domainname.com (notice the “.” at the beginning. Use the “.” so that both http://www.domainname.com and domainname.com have the same cookies).

    Hope this helps!
