I've been tidying up the way the Bulletin Board uses cookies and while I was at it I introduced a front page log in / log out facility.
Logging in from the front page is no different to logging in anywhere else on the site. Once logged in, if you have cookies enabled on your system, you shouldn't have to log in again until you log out.
Logging out clears the cookies from your machine. There is no need to log out after a session unless you are using a shared computer (school, uni, work, internet cafe etc.) and want to prevent other people using that machine to gain access to the Bulletin Board using your username (Ash). If you don't log out the system will automatically log you back in when you return (as usual).
As usual, please let me know if you have any trouble or notice any anomalies in the way the Bulletin Board is running.
