I have noticed that there is a potential access security issue to this web site. Each time i am logged on but supposedly close the session by closing the browser the next time i logon I am not challenged for Id or password. I know you should logout but sometimes i don't and this leaves my session logged in. If it is only me with access to the computer then no problems but if using a public internet cafe then it is possible for somebody to inadvertently got into the site as you. Can you have an idle time timeout?
probably only a small risk and perhaps you have discounted it..

To log out you need to click on "Click here to log out" in the top right hand corner of the screen. Once you've done that, you get the following message:
Log Out and Return to Main Site
Thank you for visiting the Eye on Spain members site. Be sure to return regularly to check your photos and message boards.
** PLEASE NOTE that you only need to log out if this is not your own PC. If this is your own PC then there is no need to log out. When you return to the Eye on Spain website just click the "Log in" button at the top right of any page and you will not need to log in again.
If you are using a PC in an internet cafe for example, then be sure to log out for security reasons.**
Please click the button below to confirm your request to log out.
If using a public computer, you should always log off any website properly, and not just close the browser. Better to be safe than sorry!

JC1, the site will keep you logged in unless you actually log out. This is because many people only access the members site and we had compaints when they had to keep logging in every time.
If you are in an Internet cafe then you MUST actually click the log out button and that will actually terminate your session.
