hi Slyvia - sounds an excellent suggestion - will pass onto admin (I can't change things like this) but they may think the software 'too fragile' to change (the original development was probably 18years or more ago) - its original use was to prevent abuse + flame wars hence the title. The other catch is that the board shouldn't take up too much effort as they are a small commercial company and little revenue derives directly from this board though they are keen to support the wider Manx community (some people think that paying their ISP's means that web content comes free!)
