Ummmmmmm Sir Rabbit... IF (which is the question here) i understand what you are saying that isn't what happened.
In the past i have been on the forum, used the link to the academy, then logged out of the academy and was logged out of the forum at the same time.
Sooooooo.. when the problem started this morning and i couldn't log out i purposefully went to the academy, as i had been doing, and logged in and out so that it would log me out on the forum as well since it wouldn't do it any other way today. BUT... until that point i had not been in the academy since late yesterday.
Anyhow... after THAT above i decided to try and log out again this time...
and was able to without trouble...
so i have NO clue.. but at the moment i can log out, i'm happy!
Thanks! *grinz*
