Any way to fix the 'all the posts are from JerryW' problem?

Bill,

As nearly as I can guess (while not knowing the actual forum software) is that this would have to be done by someone with administrative authority. That is apparently what some hacker did some time back, and while Gene is the moderator, I am guessing the that actual administrator has not caught on and both corrected that and limited the outsiders capability.

Thanks, Matt

From the WIKI, "FUDforum (Fast Uncompromising Discussion Forum) is a free and open source web discussion forum released under the GPL (version 2) license that is written in PHP and can be used on virtually any operating system."

I would guess that an admin with PHP experience could fix this pretty quick.

My personal opinion is that the historical information on this forum/maillist is probably the most valuable of any source in the Community, and that it should be purchased or accepted for donation, funded and managed by GMCMI so that it outlives any particular group of individuals. Likewise, the photo archive migrated, posts re-linked, and allowable photo size increased to allow viewing inside the forum.
