How bizarre... Does the popup appear each time you load a page, telling you that you have a new message? Have you cleared your inbox completely?

Thanks

No problem!

Click on the link marked "My Account" - you'll find it on the top toolbar of every page, and on the left of the main page.

Find the entry marked "My profile information" on the left hand side and click on that link.

You can then change the email address displayed in your profile...

In addition, if you wish to change the email address the account is registered to, send a PM to either Bad CO or Good CO.

Please tell me this is a WAH???

Ok, I'll bite anyway

The "rank" shown in your profile is not a reflection of your serving (or ex-) status - it is a reflection of your posting history on this site! At specified points, your "rank" is changed to show how experienced a user you are with the site

How about:

1. Midshipman (or "Snotter")
50. Badgeman
100. Lantern Swinger
500. Old Salt
1000. War Hero

That would make it understandable for everyone - bootnecks, WW2 vets - even SDs. What do you think?

The quote shows the progression through the ranks on RumratioN - the more posts, the more you advanced towards a War Hero status...

Can you change the colours on the page as after "You are here" the ": Home › Forums › General" is in a really light useless colour.

Most appreciated

Thanks for pointing this out MarkDip. The problem is known about, but unfortunately it is not as simple to solve as it might appear. The same link colours are used across the site, where they do not cause a problem, so finding a colour to change to which fits the site theme but does not affect a larger portion of the site is not quite as easy.

The bosses are aware of the issue, and it is on the list of things to be addressed. Hopefully, this will be resolved soon.
