true. i simply wanted to have the logout redirect it to the admin page. if you want to use firefly's idea (wich makes alot of sense) and have the regular forum logout, use this code instead:
Code:
<td align="right"><a href="../index.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>" target="_blank">HOME</a> | <a href="../member.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=logout" target="_top">LOG OUT</a></td>
</tr>
no other mods are needed.
also about the welcome name? i did it on my admin cp because i use it while i was testing the 'Selected Users Only Can Edit Admin Options' hack... i was getting confused who i was when i was...

i think i logged out and in about 1zillion times... so the name helped me.
