gmail

why does every change that google makes to gmail result in needing an extra click to get to something that i need to use all the time? in other words, why do we need to bury the sign out button behind a drop down window?

ah! I was thinking the same thing just the other day. I like my sign out button dammit.

that's how it used to be for me but it changed last week, i think it was. what browser do you use?

[lcohen]

well now i'm mystified, since i use firefox too....

Mine is gone too.

Maybe because if you click one more time that counts in their popularity stats.

Mine is hidden, but since I mostly check Gmail on my personal laptop (or with the Mail app on my phone), I hardly ever use the sign-out button.

I suspect that Gmail keeps hiding things you need to use all the time behind extra clicks because you're an atypical user. If most people used the sign-out button all the time, it would be kept more accessible.

doesn't it just figure that i'd be an atypical user?
