Topic: Banned users can't logout.

Hello,

I have been testing a new installation of PunBB and I have noticed that a banned user can't logout: when this user presses the logout button the system shows the same ban information but doesn't allow the exit operation, it seems like it is also applying the ban restrictions to it (and as I am this banned person but also the administrator, I am finding it a little difficult to unban myself and continue with the testing work :>; Let's see if emptying every available cache works :)).

Thanks for your attention.

Best regards,
Mary.

Stored cookies are the key :); I have removed them and can login as another user again.

Not a bug, that's the intended behavior wink
It's to keep people from deciding to re-register to get around a ban on a username
