Hi,
I just noticed something very strange using FireFox. When logged in and opening several tabs to the same ws, if I choose to log out from one tab, I still seem to be logged in at the same ws from the other tabs opened to that ws in the same topic. Even when the tab using the log out option has been closed, one still remains sort of "logged in", being able to watch the topic from another one. How can I force a user to log out when one chooses to log out on my ws from all tabs all at once or better still: when logged out, close all the other tabs related to my ws as well? I don't know if that's the case when a user gets banned, but this seems to be a serious FM bug of some sort, or at least a silent one nobody reported or noticed yet in all those years. Btw, it's a phpBB3 forum I'm talking about. Anyone tested it yet on other platforms? Any confirmation on this?
The sequence:
- Open a tab, log in to a site (that's the index page you're looking at, right?) <-- TAB 1
- Now, open another tab, go into a topic <-- TAB 2
- Log out using TAB 1
- Now, look at the TAB 2, even when refreshed (not confirmed yet) or going back and forth pages, it still let's you be in it <-- That's not right!
- Go back to the ws using a new tab and see who's online. You're logged out! No trace of any member 'hiding behind the wall' <-- That's very odd behavior for a ws and compromising security!
