>speaking of which... To sign off I've been clicking on the Home link at the top (which opens a new tab), then clicking Logout. As a result I end up having to close two browser tabs (or quit the browser altogether)... Wondering if it might be a good idea to have the Logout item available at the message board area?

Huh... I wasn't aware there was a Logout option at all. Even with you explaining what to do it still took me a minute to find it.

Useful to know if you subscribe to the idea of remaining logged on to sites that require credentials for as short a time as possible. Thanks.
