Question Can (should) I hide the forum header menu item 'Logout'?

Can (should) I hide the forum header menu item 'Logout'? was created by johntennock
I am in the process of integrating Kunena into a community web-site I am setting up and have what appears to be an integration question.

I note that, in the forum header menu...

[Show Latest Posts | My Profile | Logout | Announcements | Advanced Search]

...the logout function appears redundant, and possibly confusing for users. I am wondering if there is any way to eliminate that item.

It seems to me that-
1. When I open Kunena I am already logged in by virtue of having logged into Joomla. No additional Kunena log in is required.
2. If I am viewing or posting in Kunena I can still choose any other menu selection on the Joomla site without negative consequences, even if I have not logged out of Kunena.
3. If I do click Logout on the Kunena forum header menu I am presented with an almost blank page with the message:

Login

You are currently logged in to the private area of this site.

...and a [Logout] button.

If I click the Logout button it takes me to my Joomla front page (OK), but I can also click on any of the other site menu options and everything works fine (also OK).

The integration would be smoother if the forum header logout button simply did not appear. It serves no purpose in my example and introduces an unnecessary step.

I have searched unsuccessfully in the Kunena configuration settings, but can't seem to turn it off.

Any feedback on this appreciated.

Cheers,

John Tennock

yes it can be removed safely from the profilebox it can be done by editing

/com_kunena/template/default/plugin/profilebox/profilebox.php

find line 242 and remove
Code:
| <a href = "<?php echo $logoutlink;?>"><?php echo _PROFILEBOX_LOGOUT; ?></a>
