    OK, maybe I'm going a bit too far now, Halloween_Jack, but here's another suggestion for the forum:

    As many guys, I'm a tiny bit color blind. Not enough to skip military duty, but enough to encounter several small problems. So here's the thing: I can't see on what page of the comments I am (at the bottom of the comments). Recently someone pointed me out that the current page is displayed in grey while the other pages are light blue. I sure can't see the difference. The result is I am sometimes reacting to a comment on an "old" page. So, would it maybe be possible to use more distinct colors?

    ^ I would happily adjust that, but Carpy and myself have no ability to tweak layout or colours.

    OK, I´ll just have to live with it, then. No problem, such is life.
    As long as they don´t put traffic lights upside-down, I´ll be fine ;)

    I was locked out of my account. I changed my password and yeah, forgot it and forgot to write it down. I would click on the "Forgot Password" icon and a window would tell me reset instructions shall be sent to my e-mail address. Well, I never received such e-mail and I was in a panic and mad at myself for not writing down the new password. So I am very grateful that some Admins/Mods have their e-mail address for such occasions. When a person cannot even log in. Again, I wish to thank HJ for his reply and solution.

    So, if you forget your password, and click, "Forgot Password," you will not receive the password reset link e-mail. I had a look-see at this boards (Vanilla) help forums and it seems this is a problem that is being worked on, so they say...

    How do I avoid the dreaded, Body Is Required, when I click post comment?

    ^ Hmm. It happens all the time with Internet Explorer 11. How have you been avoiding it?

    Hi H_J!
    I have a forum-question concerning the “tales of us reviews by us”thread.
    At the very bottom of the thread there is a message by La_Catalina, dating from Sept 17th. It has been voted –3, but what is really bothering me, is that new messages in the thread appear ABOVE the post by La_Catalina. So every time I see the same post that I already know, which is at the very end of the thread (where the newest post should be). Is there a way to avoid this?

    ^ Yes, that's the infamous sort-by-votes problem. The post you mentioned has the most negative votes, and so goes to the end... if you have sort-by-vote turned on. At the top of the thread you can switch it back to sort-by-date.

    ^HJ I tap Write Comment then I tap Show Source suddenly the above options appear then I type in my entry.

    But before I do that I select my entry as Copy in case I lost my post.

    Then I tap Post Comment and get that Body Is Required red strip bar.

    Ah, yes - that was the only way I could get around it with IE 11.

    Obviously, we shouldn't have to do that! In "source" mode you can't add a picture, format text etc.

    Which browser (and version of) are you using?

    ^ OK, that explains it. There is a note about it in the FAQ.

    I doubt whether we'd ever a tweak to the forum to fix it.. more likely an update to IE11.

    I've switched to using the Firefox browser.

    ^HJ

    I looked in the FAQ's and did not find any note regarding "Body Is Required." I was a bit confused even more when posters HIJACK a thread, which is disrespectable and NOT proper form usage.

    GET A FUCKING ROOM OR GO OFF-TOPIC.

    ^ It is in: 8. Why can't I create or edit a post?

    I didn't explicitly mention the 'body' message.

    Hmm, "hijacking" of threads can be annoying. Haven't noticed much on here, myself.
