Frequently Asked Questions

Technical Issues

Q:  Why did I get the message "Your user ID currently is still logged in"?
A:  This condition can occur if:
  • You exited your browser without clicking on "Logout"
  • You attempt to do another search in another browser window
  • Someone is already logged in using your Username and Password
  • You clicked on the browser's Back button too many times

This condition clears itself automatically after approximately 10 minutes.  If you need your user ID unlocked immediately, contact Cinahl Technical Support.

To avoid this problem:   

  • Always click on "Logout" in CINAHLdirect before exiting your browser
  • Don't try to start several windows of Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator at the same time
  • Never share your Username and Password
  • Keep your use of your browser's Back button to an absolute minimum while in CINAHLdirect
