Ok this is probably a minor error which is probably going to rank very low on Greg's to-do list. Clicking Log Out will cause a dialog box with OK and Cancel to pop out with the message "undefined". It should read like "Are you sure you want to log out?" or something right?

Yes, I guess the message should read something like you suggest. I'm sure Greg will put this on his "to do" list.
