Now I´ve been looking for the forum´s logout button for about half an hour before I could find it.
It´s only visible on the forum´s main page and it´s very tiny (i.e. too tiny).
Why is it so hard to find it?
Are users supposed to be logged in forever?
Please, add this button on each(!) page, just like other forums do it, too!

You could just close the browser window too. There is no specific reason to log out when you are done.

Doing as you said, am I logged out automatically, then?
For example, after some kind of countdown?

As workaround or alternative, add the link to your browsers links bar.
Some forum members add the link to their forum signature, so it is easily available on any computer they are using.

That's a ridiculous comment. What if you are using a public computer or anybody elses PC?
PS It's just as hard to find the "Log In" link. As a matter of fact there is no way to even tell if you are logged in or out without browsing to the main forum page. I've don't recall another forum that suffers from this.
Centauri39 is correct, this information should be on every page.

I doubt it. If you came back to the forum after a year it would probably recognise you by your cookie.

i clear cookies on firefox close, so no need to log out.

It does this because the login input boxes are what become the log out link, and well, they're at the bottom on the homepage.
