Musicman691, just out of curiosity, how is it that your name is non-searchable when displayed beside your post? Is there some BB software setting that opts you out of displaying your name as a link, like everyone else's? I've just never seen that before.

Example:
Your Name
(with no link in either appearance):
  • Image
My Name (with an active link in each appearance):
  • Image

Yep. There's an easy way to get a non-linkable username: get into a public dust up with the admin and not know when to shut up.

If one uses an RSS aggregator like Feedly, you can get a "time machine" like snapshot of all deleted posts, warts and all.

Would you check the stock market while you're up ahead? Or just bring me the 2020 World Almanac, and I'll just switch to the betting life. But don't let Marty McFly see you!
