i like the layout of this bulliten board package. very functional and relatively easy to use. the only suggestion/question i have is:

why is the login/logout all the ways down on the bottom. i hate having to scroll all the way down just so i can login, same for logout. wouldn't it be a little more user frienly to have it right when you come into this part of the site?

just my $0.02

Hi isacklow,

you can avoid having to login each time you come to the forums by editing your forum profile options (usercp -> edit options) and setting "Automatically login when you return to the site?" to yes.

The login information will be stored in a cookie on your pc.

i figured that out but:
1. i use different computers and locations to access this site
2. i don't like to use cookies if i don't have to
3. since i do switch machines on a frequent basis i try to logout once my session is done so that i don't leave open holes and trails or create multiple login situations.
4. general design from other sites with login/logouts is that they tend to be near the top so that you have easy access to them when you first enter the site.
