Yes, this double log in is a cookie issue, and appears to only affect some users. The only short term remedy I've come up with is to clear the cookies from the local machine (i.e. your browser). Not a very practical or efficient way of doing it but like Carlo, I'm stumped here too  JF

I usually just tick the "Log me on automatically each visit" and have no problem then. But a funny thing is that I sometimes have to click log out twice to get out.

- Firefox 1.0.1 and
- IE 6 xp_sp2
obviously i don't have available to me all the different browsers and versions on the market today thus we would appreciate it if you could help us test this. please let us know if you still experience the double login problem after today. IMPORTANT: before testing the changes we have applied you need to clear the cookies for expatinturkey from your browser and restart the browser!!! FD
