On my computer, the deal is no matter what I do, I can't get to either "visiting" or "member" status. I dunno why, but it's not a big deal, and hence I don't worry about it. I have two other accounts here, as a regular member, "DU AdBot" and "Peter Shilikov," but I can't get to them; only to "franksolich."
Frank....sorry it took me a while to see this, but waaaaay up at the top of your board screen on the right side there is a "logout" button. If you click it, it should log you out.....
you're then a guest, or you can go over to the left side to the blank boxes (on the main page) and log in again, with the same or a different account.
If you select "login forever" (there are several other choices), the board software places a "cookie" in your temporary internet files, which contains your login and password, therefore assuring that all you have to do is come to our URL, and you're logged in automatically.
If you ever use a utility like CCleaner, it will clean out all of your auto login scripts, and you will be a "guest" until you log in again and receive another cookie.
