Just to point out an ANON anomaly on here… If you post ANON your username still gets listed on the main forum homepage iin the column showing the last post. I noticed this a week or two ago and sent a message to bbarbour and cgeorge. As of yesterday it was still happening. I guess it’s not a problem unless it’s a slow news day and nobody comes along to knock your ANON post off the top of the last post list for a while. ---

I know we can sometimes be put off by `anon` posts, but as you say there will ususally be someone else who will have experienced what we find difficult to talk about. luv Pollx ---

And while you are at it Greg, sort out the “Preview” button, please, Some of us are prone to making lots of typos, and a preview does enable us to catch a lot of them before the post becoms final. Geoff ---

Hi all I am looking into this at the moment but am struggling to recreate [RRWW47](http://www.mssociety.org.uk/user/20243)’s problem as reported above. I posted anon and replied anon (without any admin rights on the system) and my username wasn’t displayed. I will look into it further. Greg [admin] ---

It still did it - on the main homepage that lists all the forums, not just the main page for Everyday Living. That was using internet explorer ---

Testing anonymous too as this doesn’t happen if you create a new post!
