I really like the format of this new site :thumbsup: and have a few ideas that would make it more user friendly:

I share a computer with someone sometimes and it would be easier to shuffle back and forth between our indiviual site access if you would make it so you can logout from any screen on the site.

Also when the listings for recent posts comes up it would be nice if each user could personally adjust the time scale so it wouldn't just list the last hour or whatever it is set at.

To log out you need to go to the advanced interface (drop down box on upper right)
That will give you a logout button on the bottom of the main screen.
You can always return to the main screen by clicking on the logo.

Also when the listings for recent posts comes up it would be nice if each user could personally adjust the time scale so it wouldn't just list the last hour or whatever it is set at.My plan is for it to offer you a choice of your last login time, or x number of days.

Can you make it so you can logout at the bottom of every screen? And why not make it so you don't have to be in the advanced mode to do so? That would just save the user a few extra steps and time with no apparent drawbacks.

You need to go to the advance mode because the vast majority of users just use the system as one identity. Logging out is unneccesary and creates the need to log back in. If you don't logout you are automatically logged in when you return.

The logout is not on the bottom of evey screen because that's how it is at the moment and the main screen is always just one click away from every screen.
