I had a similar requirment to REMOVE the LOGIN and REGISTER section on the Home page and have this in the Checkout for returning customers.....
However i have realised that a LOGIN Button is needed so anyone that has purchased can login to there account and view invoices!!!! at present there is NO login and NO logout feature, i need a single button that can allow LOGIN and after finishing the same button becomes a LOGOUT, although an ordinary logout button would work ok.
Any ideas appreciated
