James,

Whenever you enter your name and email information or include a link or a graphic, your "cookie" is updated with this information. Since you've apparently changed this information in your last posting, because your name is appearing properly, I think you've done all you'll need to do.

As a message to everyone, it's probably wise to glance at this info when filling-in the "Text:" box or you can select "Preview" to see exactly how your message will appear. I'd also like to advise everyone that you can change this automatically filled-in information, including the "Subject:". Right now, I'm fretting over a thread on the Mississippi in the CW Message Board, which is titled "Jackson's Brigade at Mufreesboro". A considerable amount of valuable information is being passed that might be of great interest to others in the future, but if someone does a Google search and enters "Jackson's Brigade at Murfreesboro", the proper spelling they'll never find this thread. Please be careful with your spelling and the use of the "Subject:" line. Your posting (I'm speaking to everyone) might provide an answer to a question that people have searched for for years.

Jim
