Thanks-
I assume you are referring to the "10 most recent posts... forum" which is nice in a way but it's also deceiving. It's a per topic overview, meaning if three people post to the same topic it will only show the most recent one and ignore the other two. I've actually been thinking about removing or at least rewording that link. (someday)

OTOH-
My feeble brain loves the "show the last ten posts from this person" feature. Since we all read (hear) what we want to and people come and go only to resurface again later, someone's posting history offers valuable insight regarding credibility and the weight that any one post should be given. "Anonymous" always means no name no point - why bother. IMHO

The code behind this board was time consuming for a self taught hack like myself to modify and implement but it started as "open source" (freely offered for personal use). After all that work, paying to remove the credit link to the YaBB folks did cross my mind but my wallet just laaaaughed and laaaaughed and laaaaughed. Even PBS has commercials these days and since the idea behind QuietJourney basically mirrors the idea behind open source, leaving the credit seemed like the right thing to do.

You're welcome.
