I just went in to change something in my profile, and a few items struck me as odd. Sorry if I'm being nitpicky, but here they are:

Next to "Subscribe to the DROD.net News mailing list" title is a checkbox with nothing beside it. It sort of looks a little out of place, maybe "Yes, please" could go next to it?

Below it, next to "Send copies of all posts to e-mail" is a stack of checkboxes. Could these be made to arrange themselves within the table cell, so it would look a little less rigid?

Finally, at the bottom is a pair of radio buttons that control "Save Username and Password?" Considering you can't change the username...?


Actually, on the Post New Topic page I'm on right now, there's a message next to "Email Notification" that says only registered users can select this. Since only registered users can post a topic, is this message necessary?

Hmmm... A checkbox means yes or no in and of itself. Do the four other checkboxes down below that are by themselves not bother you? Just this one?

I have no idea what you're talking about. Arrange themselves? Right now, they arrange themselves in one column.

That actually means "Save your Username and Password in a Cookie so you don't have to type them in every time you visit the forum."

Only registered users can post a topic because we set it that way. I'll leave this in there in case we ever change the settings or make a new board that's open for posting by guests.
