Hi, Barry--

1. I've looked all over this site and can't figure out how to access people's profiles. If their name is on my screen as a link, clicking on it gets me their profile, but what about, for instance, someone who responds to me privately? How can I use their username from their email to me to access their profile?

2. The text in some posts on the site is stretched out so wide that I have to move it from side to side to read it all, as it's too wide to fit on my screen all at once. How can I remedy this?

3. In some but not all posts, certain punctuation marks are replaced with solid black squares. Can I remedy this annoyance somehow?

Thanks!

Hello again;

Sorry--forgot to mention that my browser is Safari. Could that be part of any or all of these problems? Maybe I should change my default browser? I downloaded Mozilla and Firefox some time ago, but was never able to get them to work. I do have Internet Explorer and could make that my default browser, I guess, if it would help.

Hugs;

Dixon

How can I use their username from their email to me to access their profile?At the moment, you have to switch to the Advanced interface by changing the drop down box under the logo to Advanced (which will make your issue #2 below even worse). This will add Member option on the main menu. Alternatively this link will take you to the Members directory: https://www.waccobb.com/forums/memberlist.php?s=

From there you can select Search Members on the right side.


2. The text in some posts on the site is stretched out so wide that I have to move it from side to side to read it all, as it's too wide to fit on my screen all at once. How can I remedy this?
Is this on the webste or Digest. Can you give me an example of which thread you see this problem?


3. In some but not all posts, certain punctuation marks are replaced with solid black squares. Can I remedy this annoyance somehow? We are working on this.

Safari is incapable of supporting our WYSIWYG editor (instead of seeing something in bold font in your message you'll see somthing like [B]bold[/bold])
