when I log out, my name doesn't dissapear from the "users online" list at the bottom, but no one is logged into my account, is this bad?
I just don't want anyone posting falsely in my name.

just reload the page, always works for me.

btw the only way someone can post useing your name is if you give them your password

The "who's online" list isn't updated in real-time, it sometimes will take a few minutes for it to realize you've logged out. If you're concerned about someone else using your account, all you need to do is change your password.

As Nite already noted, the data used is not real time. It states this right under the "Who's Online" box:

This data is based on users active over the past five minutes
