i've added a login control option to my DNN skin .

however, once users are logged in, there is no option for users to logout. I would have expected that the login contol would do both? let users login and logout?

so there is no way for a registered user to logout. I would have thought that navigating to oursite/logout.aspx  would do the trick - I thought i could make a manual button/link  but  entering in this url:  ourSite/logout.aspx doesn't work either.

Hello,
Does your markup look something like this:

<dnn:login id="login" runat="server" legacymode="true" text="Sign In" />

Also at top of *.ascx page this should be there:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="LOGIN" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Login.ascx" %>

I would suggest using the USERANDLOGIN theme object instead.
