I've removed all traces of the site from my history and cookies. Fingers crossed!

Baaalllllllzzzzz. Sorry Ross, really not sure what's going on - I'll purge all the cookies/sessions at this end now and log everyone out. Maybe a big toilet flush will help, other than that I'm not sure - sorry It's hit my limit of webtech-tech !
The only other suggestion I have is to log in then click on your username on the top right and actively click the 'logout' again which might (possibly!) delete what needs deleting.

Haven’t been logged out yet so looks like this might have worked!

Wonder what happened yesterday morning ... for some reason we had 422 simultaneous folks online here - think that's double the last record

Sorry, not sure what has been happening over the last couple of days with those random errors. Flushed all the internet toilets and removed hairs from the internet shower plughole so you might've been signed out - fingers crossed that's sorted it for a bit.
EDIT: Think this place is being hammered by misbehaving search engine bots - Will see if I can block them all tonight ...
EDIT2: Done .... hopefully

This should've probably given you a big clue something was up, Pete from two months ago

Yeah unfortunately we're still getting hammered by bots & naughties quite significantly over the past few months - usually over 250 simultaneous connections 24/7 (Update: 15th May -> 5971 simultaneous users around lunchtime today

). I looked into CloudFlare protection but it seemed to be a pain in the backside to implement so have tried other extensions to try and reduce the issues (still largely unsuccessfully!)
It seems like the robots just like FSOL discussion
