Logout link to everypage please !
It would be an great improvement to this forum to have a logout link in every page of the forum. Now i have to go to the "devshed forums" section to logout.

I admit it doesn't take a long time to go to the "root page", but it's a nuisance nevertheless.

Why do you bother logging out? Much simpler just to close the browser then you don't have to remember the password next time.

Real life scenario mate:

I accessed this site once from my girlfriend's laptop. I didn't log out.

A few weeks later, she gets pissed off at me for something and decides to get her laptop and come here to harrass me, except, lo and behold SHE'S LOGGED IN AS ME.

Next thing I know my avatar is some guy's hairy ***, I have a string of expletives as my signature, and a line of gibberish as my title.

Thankfully, however, she didn't post anything as my name. That's why for a long time i didn't have an avatar or anything even though I had set this clown up months before. Because I never bothered to put it back after I got all the crap on my account fixed.

Well, if you're sharing a computer all the time, I doubt it's with a person that would do something like that... and it's an inconvenience for when using someone else's computer... I just noticed though as posting this, that when you go to post to a topic, at the top it says "logged in as user: <username> [logout] "so thats an alternate way. anyways, yeah...

Nice, i didn't notice that before, but it would still be easier to have the link in everypage IMHO.

well the link for the logout doesnt change. Just throw one into your sig! then you have one wherever you post

LOL that could be a good prank, have a banner advertising something in your sig and then have it logout the user

Good point! Re. posts, only if you promise to make me look very knowledgable (which judging by the number of posts you've done, I figure might be possible).
