Old Sailor, when this website was re-vamped last year lot of us had a dilly of a time trying to find the "search" and "log out". And yes, if one's font is too large, you can't see "log out" on the drop down screen unless one has a realllllly big monitor screen.
Another really neat thing, if you need to make any corrections to whatever you answered to a thread, you have 30 minutes to make those changes :) What you will see in the upper right of your post that looks like a pen and says "edit", it is great for whenever proofreading to correct things your brain was thinking but your hands where typing something else :P Then hit the Apply Edits button on the bottom right of your answer.
Old Sailor, not your fault. You probably pushed the "PrtScrn" button and the entire screen with options was copied. Or you could have run the cursor over the portion that was copied.
What I was trying to copy was the drop-down menu for the 3 bars, but I couldn't copy it, which suggests that it doesn't have code in that section that would allow copying.
I think about all that can be done to help people log out has been done. But it would be easier if the drop down menu could be copied and posted in one of the answers to help others locate the log outlink.
What happened here? What did I do to get so much into a simple answer? I sa none of this. Maybe I actually did copy and paste. Sorry for the waste of space.

I just tried to copy & paste from this screen. No go. Can she click on the menu from this screen? I had to reduce my text or screen to 75% to get the log out line but it was there. I don't think we are allowed to copy & paste on this site.

Only, did you find the main menu beside the AgingCare logo on the upper left?

Even though three horizontal lines are a standard menu icon I have to say that the menu "is" difficult to see, perhaps it would be helpful if the site admins put a box around it or reversed the colours.

Only, I just made a terrific discovery. Even on this page. The three horizontal lines at the top of this page right next to AgingCare .com is the menu. Click on that and scroll to the bottom of it. If you can't find "log out" your screen type may be to large. Mine was. I had to reduce the size of my type or whatever it is called and that showed the log out at the very bottom of the blue side bar. And I never knew the three horizontal lines were the symbol for menu.

OnlyOne, try this:
Click on "Ask a Question", just to get on that page.
Then click on the 3 bars at the left of "AgingCare.com" in the blue background tool bar at the top of the page.
Then click on the scroll bar on the right hand side of the drop-down menu. Drag it down to the base of the options in the drop-down menu. When you get to "log out", click that.
OldSailor, I had the same text size problem as you when I tried to log out when not on the "Ask a Question" page.

Thanks for all your answers, but no matter what was suggested, I cannot log out nor find it even in question mode or whatever. It is so frustrating! It's the only site I can't find a log out for!
OldSailor, I log in using Internet Explorer 11 now that Firefox has upgraded and is slower, probably because I accidentally enabled more control by Norton (which is a memory hog). I don't have a problem logging out, but you can also use the Ctrl, Alt, Delete method to bring up the Task Manager, which reflects all current open and running programs. Then just click on Internet Explorer to close the whole browser.
Or just exit IE Explorer and log out will occur automatically.
OldSailor, I was just successful logging in and out with microsoft edge (it replaced explorer when I downloaded windows 10). I'm not sure explorer is well supported anymore, maybe you should upgrade to edge?
I get that cpu brain freeze as well. Many times I pull the plug as well. I am using a new computer with windows 10. I did not have the login problem with the old computer. Maybe I haven't found all of the hidden buttons yet. Thank you for your reply.
I never use the log out either, I had to do some searching to find the answer! I have my browser set to delete cookies and history when I close it though, so I'm automatically logged out anytime I go offline.
For myself, I never log out, I just go to the red X at the top right which removes me from the website and holds it until the next time I go onto the website. I am on here daily so it is just easier for me.
Old Sailor, I am using an older desk top computer, so when the computer has a mind of its own, I just pull the plug so to speak.... shutting down everything, then wait a few minutes, then restart the computer. Things might be different with newer devices.
Oh, my gosh, I had this frustration too. There are so many sites that make it almost impossible to log out! I finally figure out to click on the three lines at the top left side of the menu and then scroll down to log out. I'm so glad you asked this question because I struggled with this too.
I've found that I can only log out when I'm in the "ask a question mode". The slide bar doesn't open in the 3 bar section. I can't log out from the view of my profile or PMs, so I switch back to the question mode, then click on the 3 bars, then use the slide bar.

Or just close down the whole program.
