Hi, Logician!
Thanks again for your hard work. Actually, the change wasn't a happy one, unfortunately. While I was in the middle of typing out a test post, I saw that someone had already posted a new msg elsewhere on my forum -- someone who was logged in -- and while the correct username showed up in the thread posting, the "last post by" on the forum homepage was listed as "A Kira Fan"! LOL. Kinda funny, actually.
(I was going to change "A Kira Fan" to something else once I got the thing working ... I'm not THAT egotistical.

)
So here's a probably silly thought -- can I log out and, using the HTML from a regular new reply page, copy the login fields, adding it to the original version of the form you created? Or is this too simple?
