    Mike, lots of times when I have logged off , when I come back to CCO BBS on the page that opens I will see that it says I am logged on already.

    It might be this phone keeps web pages in memory.

    I have seen this many times since I returned in January.

    Sometimes instead of the home page shown I see a Forum page that I was on from my last log on.

    I surely hope this phone doesn't keep the connection open for hours.

    ,Another thing happened today 20 minutes ago I was not signed on but just looking around the Echicken BBS.
    I was reading a post in the FSXNET forum and left there and decided to sign in to CCO.
    The FSX post I was reading on Echicken's BBS showed up instead of Your home page and on the top right it had my name, showing to me that I was already logged on.
    I clicked the log out option to remove my name and then logged on.

    Oh, since I have been seeing this phone showing me already logged on, after I sign off CCO I will clear the Firefox app off the phone so nothing is in memory. At least I think nothing is in memory.
    With Google Company knowingly keeping gobs of records, I have no idea if THEY bug their Android os.
    Yep I am paranoid.

    But I knew who created this brand of phone os, it's Ed's fault isn't it?
    Sorry to bug You about this but I wondered if CCO's log shows me signed on for a lengthy period without me sending any input to the BBS.

    The phone is likely caching the pages in memory. If it is leaving you "connected" for hours, because it is the web interface it doesn't hurt
    anything and I would likely never notice it.

    LOL, they probably want to know everything I have posted here. :D

    They would it you were logged on via the "old fashioned" BBS interface but, since you are logged in over the web interface you don't show up as being logged on for that long.
