Hi Sandi,

To be honest, I don't really know the answer! In some cases, I'm still learning about the specifics of this forum software...

What Michael said seems like it could be good advice. I don't think you need to log out if you're using your own computer. However, if you're using a "public" computer (eg. at a library or at an "internet cafe") then it's probably best to log out when you're done (so others can't post, pretending to be you)...

I don't think it would use up any extra resources of the server of this web site. I think just not logging out keeps the "cookies" on your computer, which then tells the software who you are, etc. (That's my guess anyway!)

Thanks for asking! Maybe someone else here might know more about this, who is more familiar with vBulletin software? If so, please let us know...!

Cheers,

Dien
