There was a discussion about some users having troubles finding the logout button where it is. OP seems to be one of them. Hopefully, once you know, you know.

> Most settings menus have a log out link visible in the main menu or from one click in the menu dropdown. [Recently Discourse updated](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-2-4-0-beta5-release-notes/129988) the log out link placement, now requiring the user to navigate to a subpanel of account summary/settings in order to access the log out link. This has [confused some](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/how-does-one-get-out-of-inat-forum-that-is-log-out-why-isnt-there-an-obvious-button/7049) (though even [the original placement was mentioned as not ideal](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/forum-needs-a-more-accessible-log-out-button/4629)). Should a log out button be restored to the first visible panel of the user menu?
