Yes. Logoff is found in the welcome banner just to the left of "My Settings".

Is it that I am a guest that I do not see "my Settings"??

Neither do I see any logoff...although I do see a logon/register!!

= ..so guests don't logoff, just change websites and leave you hanging???

You are correct that guests do not have settings, and yes, you have not logged on so you can not logoff. The site uses cookies and server-side session state to maintain your credentials during your visit.

Since there was no cookie stored for your session, navigating away from this forum, or closing your browser, has no effect on you or the forum application.

As an aside, if you were actually logged on, closing your browser effectively logs you out of the system, so the logoff button is somewhat unneeded.

I'm sorry if I created some confusion on your part, but I failed to notice that I was replying to a question from a guest.
