Having an issue with customer login/logout

[fallenleader]

made my site, was working on it and noticed a problem recently. not exactly sure where to look to fix it.
if you log in, and visit a page you visited before loging in, you will look logged out, and after logging in, regardless of where you are, if you click log out, the website just looks at you like your a moron.
it actually logs you out, but doesn't refresh or something.

my site is located at: http://wishesdreams.com/
if you visit and notice any other problems(or complaints), please let me know.

did i post in the wrong section? is it too complex? you click logout and nothing visually happens.

not even a "yea my end" "no, not on my end" from those i've seen click the link...

What should happen when you click log out is that you get logged out and then are redirected to the authentication page. At least that's what happens on my site. I have no idea what would cause it to not work on your site.

etags, i got pissed at the site and randomly deleted crap till it started working. so i think thats what it was.
stuff in my htaccess.

thanks rocky, but, authentication page? on mine when you click logout it just logs out.

Which page does yours go to after logging out? Does it stay on the same page?

[fallenleader]

stays on same page and changes the top right login area from logged in to logged out.

[rocky]

You're right. I just checked again on my site and it is only when you log out from the "My Account" pages or other pages that are only accessible when logged in that are redirected to the authentication page. When you log out from pages that are also accessible while you are logged out, it stays on the same page.

don't worry too much, it's semi-sorted out now, below is what was removed from my htaccess file. so if anyone understand why the below stuff would cause an issue, let me know.

    FileETag MTime Size
   ExpiresActive On
   ExpiresDefault "access plus 4 months" 
# Insert filter
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE

# Netscape 4.x has some problems...
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html

# Netscape 4.06-4.08 have some more problems
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip

# MSIE masquerades as Netscape, but it is fine
# BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

# NOTE: Due to a bug in mod_setenvif up to Apache 2.0.48
# the above regex won't work. You can use the following
# workaround to get the desired effect:
BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

# Don't compress images
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \
\.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary

# Make sure proxies don't deliver the wrong content
Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary

7 days from launch, tons of issues other than this and a pretty big work list, and employee to train still. sorry if previous posts sound cranky.
