forbidden error during logout

[Mathan]

This error came when i was giving sign out and i was in labview board. very different behavior i have ever noted. Happened 2 times this afternoon.

That's an issue I have encountered before and reported.  It only happens when logging in or out of the Leaderboard pages.

Thanks,

Hi mathan,

The URL in your screenshot shows a leaderboard page URL - what were you viewing (or what URL were you on) when you saw this error?

Thanks,

That URL just looks off.  It starts out http://forums.ni.com then goes /nihttp:/forums.

Why the extra http and only a single / after the colon?  It looks like to URLs merged together in a weird way.

I meant "It looks like two URLs merged together in a weird way"

Actually am using Internet Explorer 8. I have two tabs opened. One having Leaderboard and other is the labview board page. I just closed the leaderboard tab and then i gave logout  in the labview board tab. That time the page turned like the error message i posted before.

Thanks for the attention,

Mathan

Another update on weird behavoir (????)  or expexted one?

I have again two tabs opened. One is the forum main page. Another is Altenbach's profile (that i opened by right clicking on the leaderboard link from the main page (first tab) and selected "Open in new tab").

Then i closed profile page and then i gave Logout on the first tab. What happened was the page got logout but it displays the profile page that i just closed How this comes?

[Edit: This issue was very consistent. I tried 10 times and saw this behavoir all the ten times.]
