I remember those. I just found a bunch of SCSI cables that I probably paid $25 each for.

Perfect. Thanks, Zazu. And the Monorail goes really well on this color scheme.

Okay, so I have to ask... Wombat, when you designed the Monorail wrap, did the BU colors have anything to do with that?

You should, I just tested permissions as you and the "edit" button was above all the posts.
Yes it is, and I can edit everything else, but don't see where to edit the name of the sender.

You can't change the sender/poster. He edited your entire post. I'm not sure what it said, but it's tied to your username in the DB, as well as your IP.
