Not really a problem but curious.

My name is showing as viewing a forum yet i wasnt logged in. I did it several times to make sure and yet there i am.

Is there a time delay or something because i was on earlier alright but i noticed this when i first click on boards and havent even had a chance to log in.

Yeah, there's about a ten or 15 minute delay. You can close your browser down but the stat will say you are looking at the last page you were looking at. This is so that the read/unread fora/posts aren't unaffected if you take ages reading a certain post/thread afiau.

Unless you mean that you physically logged out and then saw yourself viewing a forum?

No i was away from boards for a while doing other stuff and when i clicked onto boards i noticed i saw my name as viewing a forum but i wasnt logged in. i clicked out and in again a few times and i was still there however my name was not at the start of the list as it appears when i am logged in, it was as how others would see it. Know what i mean?
