We can't really translate 6 different instruction sets to all languages. Maybe we should have a full set of instructions, but basically emphasize that just closing the browser is easiest.

In Mac Mozilla and IE it logs me out even if I don't press "cancel", but type in existing uname and psswd and press "submit". I don't actually understand the message that Samu suggests. If this functionality is browser dependant, we should give browser dependant instructions.

Now it reads:

"To log out, either close your browser or press the Logout button below. When your browser asks for a username and password, just press Cancel. This will clear your login information from your browser's cache"

If you act based on this information (regardless of your IE settins), then with IE on Win32 you will get to login again without re-entering any passwords.

However, if you act based on this, a bit more complicated information, then IE will forget your CORRECT login information. The trick is to first enter incorrect data AND THEN press cancel. After that logout works.

"To log out, either close your browser or press the Logout button below. When your browser asks for a username and password you will have to enter some random data. After this your browser will AGAIN ask you for information. Just press Cancel the second time it asks. This will clear your login information from your browser's cache"
