I wonder if this might be related to the relatively new login that was put in place a while ago.

i.e. instead of the modal it goes to a “site-wide” page.

I have noticed that when I log out, it appears that I have logged out.  
Yet after I close the browser (which removes cookies and deletes cache) when I later open the browser (which is set to have the “start” page as the last opened page) it looks like I am logged in (i.e. avatar displays) even though I’m not and can’t post until I go to the login page and log in.  
When I log out and then do a page refresh before closing the browser the log out “sticks”.

I assumed it was just only me and some wonky browser thing I was unaware of, but maybe not.

If you go to an older account that has recently visited, is the  
admin/users/{id}/{membername}  
Last IP Address  
also missing?
