there doesn't seem to be a place to logout?
Hey Patti girl,
Since you're logging out, you should probably keep track of the time you spend on the forum cuz when the time that's set in your login form expires (the default is 60 min.), you have to log in again if you want to continue reading the board. That most likely also explains your complaints of posting messages that don't show up (in other words... your expiration expires before you can post your message).
As long as I'm using a secure PC, I just stay logged in by checking the square. Then I don't have to worry about logging out, logging in, or getting booted off the forum.
