Am I right in assuming that if you do not log off that you probably leave your computer on as well.

If you do not go offline then you really are leaving yourself open to hacking.

And surely with all the other problems, just having to log in is a minor irritation.

Bob, The security certificate you refer to is in relation to trusted web sites,

These trusted web sites in your browser and the warnings you get relates to your settings for your browser you can change these settings if you go to Internet options, then security, privacy and also in the advanced sections

For more info also see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931850

Edit, I think the main reason for the security certificate warning is because GR is a public forum and their for not a secure web site

The security risk i refer to is that if you stay signed in when not on the site leaves the door open? You would not go out for the evening and leave your house door open so why assume that its OK to do that with a web site,

"internet explorer has blocked this site displaying content with security certificate errors?"

There can be Several reasons why you may need to sign/log in when you never signed/log out

I don't understand why people have a problem with this,

By staying logged in whilst you are not online can be a security risk,

signing in and out is simple and takes seconds just a simple click on the sign out, Job done,

You don't have to type your login details every time you sign in you simply need to save the details to your PC then when you open the link from your favourites you just double click the space where you would type the details then if saved to your PC the details will appear then click the log in button, Job done, This takes me abt 3 seconds

I know we have had loads on this but I just need to sound off. Why did I have to sign in this morning when I didn't sign out last night. Maybe this is something that could be raised in London? :-S :-( :-(
