Requests

Ability to log out a user out and not have the previous users info saved, so I can log him out and log myself in without clearing cookies. This is not Jeff Garcia.

Also, I'd like to be able to add captions to attached files.

The logout issue is a known limitation with the LIGO.ORG authentication on shared workstations.  You need to completely close/kill the browser, or open a different browser (not just a different browser window).

The authentication is not handled by the application, it is handled by the LSC auth project login server (login.ligo.org).  Clicking aLOG log-out button does in fact clear all state in the application associated with your session.  The issue is that the aLOG does not have a way to affect the state of login.ligo.org.

So this is a known issue, it will be fixed at some point.  The benefit in account and password management of using the LIGO.ORG credentials appears (by far) to outweigh the inconvenience of having to kill the browser when you work at a shared workstation.

The first of your requests has been a request since last summer, see LHO aLOG 1000. I know Jonathan Hanks is working on this.
