When trying to log out using the new default schema, the browser redirects you to:
http://battleforums.com/login.php?do=logout


Note the lack of "www" at the beginning, regardless of whether you're browsing the forums at "http://www.battleforums.com" or "http://battleforums.com". Each is saved as a different cookie, and by redirecting the user to the aforementioned link, they never actually log out of www.battleforums.com.

Just something that could be a slight security risk for anyone using a public computer, or one at a "friends" house that happens to be a Moderator+.

You shouldn't need a complete URL anyway.

Now call me back before I exersize your scrotum loose.

Remember when I said I had that problem in clicking in anything at the portal? It does gives problems, sometimes I get a message saying that http://battleforums.com/ can not be found. So I do copy link, paste it at url bar, and add www. in the appropriate place. I never did know why it happens. And, yes, it still happens quite often, but I think it might have something to do with privileges in the computer, since it only happens in the university computers.

It's a server issue, isn't it? I remember, coRtALoS, about some weird issue with the database or the server where the default site was http://battleforums.com without the www., which caused some problems?

Reminds me, always use local links, RoaCh Of DisCord.

Use login.php, irregardless of the rest of the URL. Like I told you with the banner, RoaCh Of DisCord.*
