Formal AnnouncementLucius L. Hilley III complains
[X] Feature Exist
[_] NOT a Feature
[Change Settings]
[X] Set Posting Name
[X] Set Signature
[_] Set Password
[_] Set Email address
[_] Block Email address posting
[_] Set Number of messages listed (per screen)
[_] Set Display style (not important)
My Story:
The interface says change settings. I thought I might be able to
select the
number of messages I could see. So I attempted to login, But it has no
relation to the topica list that I know I am getting my messages delivered
through. Therefore, I decided to signup to this thing using one of my
common taggable addresses instead of the bellsouth thing you all
people see.
What a pleseant experience that was. Yes I was able to quickly and easily
be sign up. I was promptly emailed my white noise of a password that I
can't possibly remember without severe concentration. No fear. Click
change settings. To my horror, I can not change my Password to something
more to my liking. Even if it had restrictions like "Must have at least 1
digit, 1 upper case, 1 lower case and be at least 8 characters long. Now
that forces some warped passes... but at least if you devise it
yourself you
have a prayers chance of remembering it. Anyow, the only thing Change
settings lets you do is set a signature.

[Manual Returns]
A reason to NOT want to do manual returns. I
change the text a paragraph up and have to manually
readjust returns for 6 or 7 lines. Just like I did for
this one, More than once. You can also add in the
problems of proportional fonts versus Fixed with
character counting. I left as much as the message
below as possible. As for the manual returns, I
tend to do them as well but since my screen is
much larger, Automated scrolling would look a bit
nicer. If you think it looks bad when > are insert
for quotes. Take a look at mine below. I
evidently went to far before I applied manual
returns. So I've got returns and more returns.
[Passwords]
Some of us nutjobs like to remember our
passwords and don't want just any other nutjob
to be able to walk in behind us and login to
anything of ours just becuase cookies are handy.
I actually find it annoying that the
[X] Remember Password
defaults to checked. That means I have to
uncheck it EVERYTIME I login. If just one
time I forget. Then I have to manually find and
remove the cookie. I may have multiple cookies
that I actually want. Also, finding a cookie for
removal differs from browser to browser.
Those don't mention any of the other features.
