I tried to join using my name as the username, I was rejected with the reason given being that the name was reserved. So I had to use my initials. Then when my passowrd arrived I logged in and wanted to change the password to something other than a randow string of letters. I went to Control Panel/Options, couldn't see any way to change it, went to FAQ, it wasn't mentioned. Note that the email that comes out with the password has a generic "Login Information" or similar subject line, would be better if it was branded, such as: "Webnauts forums - Login info". That way when you file the instructional email, you can find it again later when you need it. So I tried to use U2U (never seen it called that before, it is usually called Private Message or PM), No address list so I tried Administrator (thinking that would be a standard contact point), no such user, went back to forum area, saw Webnauts as a user making demo posts, so tried that as a To: address, seemed to work. So there is a quick summary of my initial user experience. The forums look pretty, the orange/blue/purple combi is attractive. Text size on the top nav is too big and "Board Rules is always wrapped for me, it could easily be half or two-thirds the size it is now and still be effective in my opinion. -- Peter Williams ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
