Can't sign out of LibraryThing

I'm not sure where to ask this, but this seemed a good place. I am working on my iPad and trying to sign out of LibraryThing (so I can sign into a different LT account), but it just keeps taking me back to my dashboard and not signing out, even though the 'sign out' button is highlighted when I touch it.

It could be a problem on the iPad, but I haven't noticed anything else wrong (yet) and I've already tried powering down and switching on again, with no difference.

So; how do I sign out?

Odd. I have just signed out successfully on my iPad mini.

This happened to me once and on the ipad mini about a year ago. I think I had to download the latest ios update, clear my history and restart it a few times to fix it. Not sure which of those three things fixed it, but it worked again after that.

>1 humouress: Have you tried force-quitting your browser, and checking for updates to that specific app? If you've followed the suggestions here and are still having trouble, let us know, and include a couple more details, please:

- iPad type (air, mini, etc.)
- iOS version
- Browser app

>4 lorannen: Will do. (I think it's an iPad 2 and I'm using Safari.)

>3 ludmillalotaria: Coincidentally enough, just as I read your post, I received a pop-up alert for the latest iOS. I've now downloaded it, but no difference (except now I get that annoying banner asking me to open the LT app every time I change the page).

I'll keep on working down the list until something works.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

If anyone has this problem, I'd be interested what happens if you click this sign-out link:
