As on this site, when the user logs into their account, their name appears in the left hand corner, with logout next to their name.

I want to move my logout button, from the users accounts and transfer it, so when they log into the site, the logout button appears next to their name.

Can anyone tell me how this can be done?

It can be done in your header file (probably in your theme). Let me see what I can come up with for you.

Go to you theme folder and open theme.php. Look for this in the code:

    if ($username == "Anonymous") {
   $theuser = "&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=new_user\">Create an account";
    } else {
   $theuser = "&nbsp;&nbsp;Welcome $username!";
    }


Change it to something like this:

    if ($username == "Anonymous") {
   $theuser = "&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=new_user\">Create an account";
    } else {
   $theuser = "&nbsp;&nbsp;Welcome $username! [<a href='http://www.your-site.com/modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=logout'>Logout</a>]";
    }


Make special not that you'll need to change the part of the code that says "www.your-site.com" to your URL.

Then make sure $theuser variable is in your header.html file somewhere (which is also in your theme directory).

That should pretty much do it. Let me know if that helps!

Another question, at the top of my site I have a row of links >> [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] << have a look and you'll see wot I mean.

How do I get rid of the Your Account link?

That's also done in the header.HTML file in your themes folder. Open it with Frontpage if you have it and you'll see it in design mode. If you don't have FP, look for something like this:

<a href="modules.php?name=Your_Account">Your Account</a>


Then delete it and any other formatting HTML that might be associated with it.

Good deal! That's why I love this site. I've got so much help here in the past, it's fun to be able to offer it now and then.
