Question on standards:
When users log out of an application, is it better to:
1. Give them an exit message, like "You have successfully logged
out"? (i.e., a positive indication that they are logged out)
or, what I would prefer:
2. Just send them back to the original log in screen? (i.e., log out
is implied)
Option 1 seems excessively bureaucratic to me. It's not like I'm
working with a financial database or other application with
particularly sensitive information where people want to be absolutely
sure they've logged out. On the other hand, if people are expecting a
message, I don't want them to be confused when they don't get one.
Is there a standard rule of thumb?
