Click on your avatar on the upper right. Click on your username. There is an option at the bottom for “Log Out”

disclaimer - this was not me, it was a friend, I spent the night there last night and logged in on this site. He is the dummy, and he is a computer programmer! That is how some aspects of this site are difficult, although overall I like it much better
