Quite odd.

I cleared my cookies and cache in IE 6.0 - but when I go here (http://creator.zoho.com/) it shows me logged in.

So does that mean this site has some special sort of "always stay logged in" functionality?

I'd try and use CCleaner. You might have cleared cookies + history, but you still may have your registry tied up.

Didn't we have a thread that shows that this happens here too?

I did not know about here. I just tested it and you are correct: In IE, clearing my cookies and cache does not kick me off logged in status here.

... but not in Firefox.

... so maybe an IE issue more than a registry issue?

It's been known that IE keeps cookies in many different places just for security's sake. It also keeps temp files in every nook and cranny it can find.

Very odd. I just cleared cookies and cache for a third time (in IE) and now the zoho site shows me logged off.

Here you have to actually use the Log Off feature I think.

How very odd, because I was thinking about asking why my log-in here keeps timing out! I've never seen a site like this time out that way. (I'm talking after only like 10 minutes, like a bank would do.)

Although, if I ever get around to installing Firefox, that's what I'll be using and maybe it'll change.
