Logout == throw-out ?

[Ozone]

Why I am thrown out of the forum when logging out ?
Doing so, I land on the bare login screen. 
Who came up with that impractical idea ? I have seen this on no other forum.

Being different is only fine if you are better.

Hello @Ozone , 

Thanks for reporting on this. Have you click on "Remember me on this computer" during a log in? 

Let me know if this still happens after applying this. 

Thanks,

I have tried this now, for the sake of trying it. But it makes no difference. I basically use the same functionality in my browser (password auto-fill).

Not that I expected it to make a difference - the redirection destination after the logout is a design choice, and one  made consciously on ST side. Which is IMHO rather impractical, and thus probably made by a designer who rarely uses such fora at all.
Requirement-conforming behavior and user friendliness are not the same thing.

I don't want to be logged into a site or forum if I don't need to.
Throwing my back to the login window is just a hassle. Getting back to the forum opens another window, which starts with annoying auto-play videos and animations. And where I need to select the community/forum again.

I understand that ST's landing page is not designed by engineers and for engineers. But forcibly routing them across this page is just annoying.

Hello @Ozone , 

I see what you mean now. Yes, ST uses myST account across its' ecosystem and with the same account you can login to the community and st.com itself.

I would like to clarify this: 
Throwing my back to the login window is just a hassle. Getting back to the forum opens another window, which starts with annoying auto-play videos and animations. And where I need to select the community/forum again.

I tested it and after I click am I logged out and go back on the browser, I land on the logout webpage of the community. Could you refer what URL are you redirected to? st.com?

Please clarify the action, adding what browser and OS you use, and I will look into it.  

Thanks,
Lina

Hi Lina,

I've just tried to sign out and, same as Ozone reports, it redirects to https://my.st.com/cas/login?service=https://my.st.com/

FF102.13.0esr/Win10

PS. Can't your account behave differently due to being an Admin account?

[Ozone]

That would be :
https://my.st.com/cas/login?service=https://my.st.com/

OS would be Win10 and Linux Mint 20, both using the Brave browser.

Though I believe the redirection is a "hardcoded" action triggered upon the logout, and neither OS not browser matter in that regard.
I don't understand the need for a redirection in this case at all.
I would expect to remain on this site, only not logged in.
If I'm done, I can always close the browser window.

Hi both, @Ozone , @waclawek.jan , 

Thanks. What I meant is, when you press "Back" on the log out window: 

And then it redirects back to the community:

Does it happen for you this way? 

In general, as we use myST account for the login, we cannot avoid this initial redirection. But I will consult if this could be more seamless.
