A login/signout button would be awesome

Not a button but a link, or something, on the top of the page, easy to access. Cause now, the only way I know to login is to check my PM's. Which is kind a hassle.

Im gonna shoot myself in the ear if im just that blind, but ive been on here for a couple years and i've seen nothing.

Just thought id drop the suggestion

As for logging out, Bolty has a link in his sig, but all it really takes is clearing out your browser's cookies.

I mean the site is great and all, but im sure many would agree, a Login/Sign Out option on the index page of the forums would be very convenient. Forgive me for my lack of knowledge about the scripting and coding behind a message board, but im assuming it would also be a very simple thing to implement.

But what's the point of signing out unless you have more than one account (which is against the rules)? Battle_of_Twits and I sometimes use the same computer to do some MOTL stuff, but we just pay attention and try to make sure we're posting under our handles.

edit: Also, if it's that big a deal for you, why don't you copy that particular part of BoltBait's signature and put it in your own?

It might be of some use, but I'm still not sure what the real need is. You can already just go to the site, do what you need to, and if you do something that you need to log in for, the login stuff is right there ready for you. If you don't need it, it shouldn't matter, but if you do, it's already right there.

At home and my work computer, I stay logged in all the time, there's no need to ever sign out. When I'm somewhere else, I just log in if needed, and when I close out the browser, I'm effectively logged out because I don't set my preferences to save my login information. It would actually be an extra step for me to have a login screen on the main page.

It gets annoying though.. I click out of motl a lot each day and every time I come back in it makes me re-login.

Stop worrying; everything is fine.

To me, and for some reason I may be the only person in the world who thinks this way, but it would be much more simplistic and easy to use.

Have you clicked "Submit Preferences" yet? If not, it's not set. Although it's defaulted to show that it's on, it's actually off until you click the button. If you have clicked the button, then your browser probably isn't set to save cookies.
