I am having problems with a current mod and the only way to cure it at this point is to FORCE a user to logout and then have them relog back in. Rather than explain this to EVERY user there has gotta be an easier way of FORCING all users to logout or clear their cookies for the forum so that if they had the "REMEMBER ME" box checked they would still be required to login. Is there an SQL query or a template edit that I can run or change to make this happen?
OR even better if there is a way to change the actual TIME a user can stay logged in via the REMEMBER ME box. Like make it so that they can only stay logged in for 24 hours or however long I specify.
Nice one thanks, I would like to have something to do ALL users at once. Just a complete logout of every user. So that way next time they visit the forum they are forced to login. Like I said I don't care if I gotta run a database query that's fine, someone just point me in the right direction
Change the cookie path or domain to something invalid? Of course, this is assuming you can then change it back via the database so you can get back in (or reset it with tools.php). I'm sure there must be a better way though.

I was thinking this too but it doesn't work because when the user tries to login they automatically get logged back out as soon as they login.
Clear the cookies. You just set empty values to the "userid" and "password" cookies. However, I'm not sure how you would control this to only once without some messy workarounds (another cookie maybe?).
Restarting mysql and apache seem to do the trick pretty good for me
Tried this and it doesn't work.

How would I be able to do this for every user without actually having access to their computer? Cookies are stored in their web browser.
