I think it should work on 6.0+, if you put it under $show_logout and without the navbar_under_left => qq~ and ~, parts.
Make sure you clear cache, and also I don't know if you put it on the correct show_logout place, I don't have a 6.3.1.1 forum active but maybe there is more than one $show_logout in public_forum_summary.
