Is there any other way to edit the person's name? Also is there a way to make the date display next to each post... Thanks! --- Karen :D

I got the program loaded and it's working, I copied and pasted all the old entries from my previous board/program/website host....but I accidentally misspelled a name and now I can't find a way to change it... Thanks again for your time! --- (Karen)

Both need to be down- and up-loaded as ASCII/plain text files (not binary) and edited with a plain text word processor like NotePad or BBEdit. The first is a file named "MBposts". You'll find a line in that file pertaining to the thread in question. Change the name of the poster as appropriate. You'll notice a 10-digit number at the beginning of the relevant line in file MBposts. That is the file name of the second file that needs to be edited. You'll find the misspelled name in that file also. Change the name as appropriate.
