PHP-Nuke 7.6 Login Bug/Issue Discovered

Hi

One thing I noticed today with 7.6 is this:
When you login, there is no way to logout, short of going to the "Your Account" logout function.

You'll also discover that the login block by default only displays to anonymous users. That is fine; however try the following scenario.

You have your new God account and also a user account with the same nickname.

You login both as admin and user.
You logout as admin via the admin block menu "logout" option.

Now ... try to find a way to logout as a regular user without using the "Your Account" logout function. I couldn't find one.

So I went ahead and told the system to display the login block to "All Visitors" instead of just anonymous users. Sure enough.. I see it then, but even when logged in, it doesn't show me as active and wants me to login or register, though the "Who's Here" block of course still shows me as logged in.

Thus as you can see:
1) There are no "Logout" functions on this primitive Login Block or anywhere else in nuke menus.
2) Why this block is only setup for Anonymous users... (Meaning its pretty useless even as a default nuke login block).
3) The default login block not only won't let you logout, it has no status recognition capabilities to actually recognize you are logged in.

I'm thinking that this block should either be fixed to recognize user status and allow people to logout, or be replaced in patched Nuke 7.6 to give it that functionality or the main menu solution (or somewhere else on your main screens) recognize your status and include a logout option.

Just my two cents.
