for those of us who log in to PH at work, maybe on several different computers, would it be possible to add a "log out" icon to the "Links" drop down box? there is a log-in icon but no log-out, so you have to go to the members profile section and do it from there. not exactly taxing but would be easier to do (and remember) if we could do it from the forum screens.

I would hate it if anyone else logged in as me and took credit for all the abuse I give and take on pistonheads

edited to add that i would be ashamed if any of my colleagues discovered i spent my days perusing automotive porn

Fair comment. I'll sort that for you next time I'm meddling.

If you untick the remember me box on the login page it will automatically log you out when you close explorer.

It works for me.

It does, but you have to re-login every time. If you are using one machine for a period, say on and off for a day, and then not again for a while, it would be useful to have the logout option for the end of day.

if you're fiddling with logins please put in a login page or link to it on the page where it says 'oops we are unable to verify your profile', it's most irritating to have to go back and try and find it, would be much simpler to have a link straight to the login page like every other website.

Couldn't you just click the nice big shiny button labeled 'Back' on your browser?

But I have to click back, then go to profile, then click log in.
