    Nouns of direct address should always be preceded and followed by a comma.

    Example:

    Now, BossArky, that's you told.

    A better question is "Why is that not a boards approved smiley?"

    People, how about restructuring the sentence like this?

    --> BossArky, thank you for logging in.

    It flows as opposed to "Thank you for logging in, BossArky".

    Say both sentences aloud. The current message gives me the impression that something else is going to follow based upon the slight delay before the name.

    i.e. "Thank you for logging in, BossArky you are now online".... or something similar.

    Obviously I meant admins not mods in the original post. Congratulations on your hilarity. Some of your responses have been rather witty.

    Maybe if you get a mirror for your desk, you could see it coming before it gets you.

    If my grammar hasn't totally deserted me, that would involve the use of a second comma after your nick ... as in "Thank you for logging in, BossArky, you are now online."

    Agreed. Or "Thank you for logging in, BossArky. You are now online."

    If there's one thing I hate, it's the misuse of comma's.

    Why would you want the message to tell you that you're online? Surely you know you are if you're logging in?

    BossArky you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

    1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
    2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.


    That sounds and looks better:cool:

    If you hyphenated 'logging in' would the comma be redundant?

    Then it would sound more like a small British town or somewhere in the midlands. "Logging-in-BossArky", just down the road from "Borris-in-Ossory"

    I do that.
    My English teacher once told me that I had apostrophy-itis.

    I feel old now. That was 17 years ago. :(

    Sorted... or at least I think so. I'm a little drunk. I dont mean I'm small and inebriated.

    Hope the OP is happy with the solution...
