Terrible! Train your users better!
I understand that users will be users, however... I am releasing a new
timeout_user plugin in the next day or so that has a potential fix for
disallowing that behavior: if the back button is pressed after the
timeout time, it will redirect to the "logged out" screen. However, it
will only work when the timeout time has been surpassed. Otherwise,
users have to be a little smarter.
We're testing a _javascript_ at that helps prevent the problems with using navigation buttons. We're going to incorporate this into a page that gives terms of use and the like but then it opens a new window that doesn't have navigation bars, tool bars, etc... I know it's not perfect and that some users won't like the lack of menus and tool bars, but it does remove the temptation to use the navigation buttons and of course experienced users can just bookmark the login.php page, but so far in our testing user feedback has been positive. It also cleans up the SM interface by limiting what people see to the SM code and not all the other browser junk. This has been tested on IE 6 SP1, Netscape 4.8, and Mozilla 1.4 (which means it should work in Netscape 7.1). Everyone's welcome to the script, it's pretty simple, but use of it is at your own risk.
