Recently, i.e. the last day or so I’ve noticed the navigation bar wraps on my screen. Happens in Safari and Firefox. Sometimes clicking on my name no longer works either.

I can confirm that I can also produce this with certain sized windows on Chrome. My hunch is that it has to do with an error calculating the username size or similar element and therefor doesn't collapse the navigation bar at the proper point.
It is wrapping because early yesterday we added the supporting member link thus it spread the links out further. If you are using a phone, then it adjusts for this by stacking/wrapping the links. Can't explain the problem with your name not working sometimes. Perhaps Rich will chime in.
Make your browser window wider.
Same problem with name dropping below to line where it says O guage railroading on-line forum. Cannot scroll down to sign out either.

That's as wide as it goes on my tablet.
@gunrunnerjohn posted:Time for an upgrade. I just tried it, and if I shrink my window enough, the bar does wrap.
Then if I shrink it a bit more, it disappears and a little MENU pops up on the left side!
Right - I think the CSS in the site should be able to collapse to the three bar menu when the width of the navbar wraps.
Why have the in between overlapping state?

That actually does make sense to me, the overlap just lasted until I would have had the next element wrapped, then it just disappeared.
I would just like to know how to log out. I am not able to scroll down the blue vertical drop down box on the left side of the web page. Prior to logging on this afternoon I was able to scroll to the bottom to sign out. This is on a desk top PC

Why do you want to "log out"? I haven't "logged out" since I joined the OGR Forum some 16 years ago.
I'm with HW, I don't log out, it seems somewhat pointless to me.
Not to be rude but I did not ask for opinions ; I understand my options thank you very much.
You’re not getting “opinions” you’re getting advice, and it’s good advice. Why log out? I haven’t logged out for years, either.
However, if this is on a desktop PC, just make the browser window wider, or maximize it. Then the nav bar won’t wrap.
My question was not meant to be about the merits of logging in/off. I'm fine with staying logged in. My question is why I am not able to scroll down the above mentioned list. Is there no longer a reason to scroll down for other listings such as logging out as an example? Rich are you talking about viewing in full screen when you mention maximize? My search for making browser window wider was a little confusing. Anyways Thanks
Explain to me why you couldn't log off if you wanted to. I made my screen as narrow as the page would let me.
It does look ridiculous that way, but anyway... When I click on my profile handle, I clearly have the option to log out if I so desire.
Hello gunrunnerjohn When I place my cursor over my handle I see all the options you displayed except the bottom one/last one shown is TERMS OF SERVICE; not SIGN OUT. If I click on my handle it takes me to my profile page. Thanks for the come back.
To make any window wider, just click on the edge of the window and drag it larger.
By “maximize” I mean to click on the “maximize” icon in the upper right of the window. This expands the window - ANY window - full screen.

I heard that Rich. No mystery there. Oh well Thank You again

Do you have a very low resolution screen? It's odd you don't see the bottom entry.
While we're on the subject. Why is the search tab on my old desktop in hieroglyphics or something?
Everything else is on the whole page is fine. Not a big deal,it still works, just looks strange.

I get that on my PC running old OS.

For whatever the reason the SEARCH entry in the navbar is coded up to use an icon, rather than a word like the rest of the navbar entries - I actually think that's why the navbar wraps improperly.
The <i> element you see is putting in a an icon from Font Awesome called fa-search. You can see what it should like here.
However, for whatever reason on your computer (and mine) the font is not found and therefore displays the text for screen readers that are used by people with disabilities. The text is defined by the aria-label attribute in the enclosing HTML element. The font it uses for that is defined by some browser and maybe OS defaults. Mine is defaulting to what looks like Times New Roman because it has serifs... Do you have your defaults set to another language or region?
Mine shows up like this:
You can see how it's a little different. No underline, and the letters have little "wings" aka serifs on the ends.

I discovered by hiding my task bar the bottom entry now appears.
