ANN will not log me out. The site seems to be tracking me by IP address, because deleting/Not accepting all cookies doesn't work.

It definitely requires cookies - all the PCs where I work share an external IP address but I have to log back in whenever I change PCs and I've used incognito mode or another browser on my home machine numerous times to simulate not being logged in.

--edit--

I deleted all *.animenewsnetwork.* cookies after posting, and had to log back in again in order to edit this post.

[quote="Shiroi Hane"]It definitely requires cookies [/quote]

I don't have any cookies on my system. I don't allow my browser to accept cookies, from any website.

I accepted one cookie to make one post, and then deleted it.

But that isn't the problem: WHY HASN'T a DAMNED ADMIN LOGGED ME OFF MANUALLY ALREADY.

You have not done a single thing to "help" in the first place.

Hi KZK, it's great to hear from you!
I'm not really sure why you have problems logging out, but I've banned you, so hopefully that will solve your problems!
It was just awesome to have you here!!!

It's almost as though being angry and paranoid alienates people and gets you nothing.

I feel like there's a lesson here.

Don't wear socks with sandals! Yeah, that's it.
