Yes, any other word maybe; not this one. You might find it in Afrikaans, which is a hybrid Dutch and maybe in Indonesia or some tiny WestIndian island as a leftover from colonial times though. (bragging Branny)

PM's are O.K with me. I saw I got 27 pages hanging on. I will do a delete-session tomorrow. Maybe I'm using all the space there is?

I only have three private messages and I'm over my total? My point exactly.
Also, where did you see the "Use List", "Saved Queries" and 'Media" things you mentioned? Are they Admin-only goodies? They're in the link Anu posted (man, I wish he'd change his name to Any, so I wouldn't keep having to correct my typing!); that's where that blaakaaask person is listed, too. Woops--not the media button ; it's now an option when you make a post.
Like Olly, I can't view users' profiles either. This, I didn't know. I can see mine and others'. Anu? Hay-ulp, please?

(Aside: I thought about some of you one-syllable fanatics this afternoon when I heard somebody on the news say gray-und...twice.)

Edit: Whoa, I've seen a mention of spiders before!

Looks like the update changed all these settings. I tried to enable View Profile and other settings, but I get an error message. I've filed a bug report with the software developer. I'll keep you posted. Thanks.

Thanks, Anu.

Looks like there are too many new configurable settings in this update. I have fixed the setting on the private message now. Let me know if anything else isn't working. Thanks.
