    If I'm logged out of Boards, whenever I go to log in again it automatically reverts back to the logged out format.

    I have to re enter my username and password a second time before I can get in.

    Just wondering why this is the case ?

    They're off by default for new users, and have been for many years. Last I recall it's only something like 3% that have sigs and avatars turned on.

    Hmm, nice to have them on so I can see if I'm talking to a fellow furry or whatever - normally gives a little insight into the poster methinks!

    So I spent ages doing a sig for only 3% of people to see?

    Ho-hum.

    sorry to post this here but I am having difficulty starting and replying to threads (both last night and again this morning)

    I cant pm or leave visitor messages and if I try to use the reply function/quote someones post to reply I get a message that tells me my message is too short

    the only way i can reply is on a pre-existing thread, using the quick reply function

    can anyone suggest a solution please?

    thanks :)

    In experimenting a bit, it seems teh symptoms are

    I can reply to a pm, but it arrives blank
    I cannot originate/compose a pm, teh title goes in, and I can type my message, but when I press send it tells me I need to complete both those boxes and the message box is now blank

    I have deleted my cookies and its no better

    I am not certain, but I think it might be better suited to the Help Desk, but as I say I cant seem to start a thread there

    Thanks Hope, unfortunately because there is no "quick reply" function in the Help Desk I cannot reply on that thread,. I just get the message too short, please increase it to at least one character message again:(

    thanks for trying though

    perhaps I missed the quick reply function over there, but its there now, although it has to be moderated

    I'll leave it here for now and hope someone can help
