Not sure if this is the right spot but it seemed to be the best fit.

As website optimization is my career I can't help but think the "Logout" button on the top left of the navigation leads to many people unintentionally logging out. This position is typically for a "Home" button. I've, on many occasions, sub consciously navigated and pushed "Logout" thinking I would go to the main forums. Not a huge deal but I figured it wouldn't hurt to point it out.

sorry I can't see how you can mistake Logout for Home :dontknow:

Thanks for your feedback.

I did not consciously click "Logout" thinking it meant "Home", it just comes as a natural reaction to click on that area when navigating a website. 99% of websites I've seen use that real estate for a home button(cnn.com, pbs.com, linkedin.com, etc, etc).

This was simply an observation I was pointing out. If other don't agree, no big deal.

When you log in check the box which says 'log me on automatically each visit'.

Cheers. Had previously checked that box but possibly hadn't done restart... all good now :thumbright:
