Why not have a LOGOUT option at the top and bottom of each page. LOGOUT is now a two step process unless you scroll to the bottom of a page.

For me the chances of accidentally clicking on a wrong key are greatly increased if I have to traverse pages to get where I want.
Where in the world was the darn thing that made people keep hitting it by mistake?

EDIT: Actually you don't have to go to the bottom of the page to log out.

You can also go to the members tab where it says log out it also has a log in history link where you can kill the session, which will log you off also.

Members tab is located to the left side of my screen.

You do have options.

As far as people keep on clicking on it being in the top right hand corner. I don't know about that. Sounds like a problem.

I don't have those kinds of problems myself. I click on what I want. I don't accidentally click on things on BBR, or on any webpage for that matter. Maybe I am different. No really I am not sure about that.

I like to see the sign in on top and the log off on top of the webpage. IMO most of the websites I log into have that feature.

Though since I am familiar logging into BBR website over 500 times I haven't really had any issues it being were it is now.

But I am for the change. I think it makes sense for newbies or those who like standard format. Like many other sites do this as well.

But If it doesn't fly I won't loose any sleep over this. Take it or leave it.

You logout once / session.

The button belongs out of the way, at the bottom of the screen.

Just create a bookmark with the URL of the logout button, problem solved. Even Opera can handle that.

duh ..... guess it's too early here. I was thinking Firefox add-ons for some reason. I just created a bm and case closed as far as I am concerned.

What does *sign* and *object* stand for ? I know for and against but beyound that ?
