1) The "over 13" stuff is related to the U.S Federal COPPA act. Not much I can do about it. See Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 for more info.

2) Changed your username to Jumper. I mentioned this as an issue both during the beta period where everyone had a chance to login and make everything was working for them ( Feb 15th - Feb 26th ), as well as the lead post in this thread.

Why this happened: The old software had a concept of a separate username and displayname. I'm not sure why that was considered a good idea. Way back when, you picked 'horsefeathers' as your username, and 'Jumper' as your displayname.

The new software only has a single username....the one you log in with.

In any case, changed to Jumper now. Remember to log in using that id. The 'horsefeathers' id does not exist anymore.

Those and the blogs are still on my list. My technical issue is that while I can post them, I can't post them with the writer's login ID. So, without creating some kind of script, they would all appear to be written by 'admin'.

I have a test blog post out there. I'm going to try changing something in the database to see if I can make it look like 'migflanker' wrote it...that will be my test case.

Thank you for fixing it... but after a week or so I have the same problem again..
I cant access 'checking loads' even though I'm logged in. Shows as private..

Could you please help to fix this? I wonder why its happening...

Thank you!

Also, I post replies, and sometimes post topics, but they dont show up... why is that?
Is there a period of time before the post is made public? or did my posts just not go through? I've never had these problems before.

Thanks again.
