Some more tweakage to the messageboards (more huzzah and kudos Bagpuss). Some folks have complained about anonymous postings hurting the signal-to-noise ratio on the news forum, but the problem is simply that this feature was introduced earlier than its complimentary co-feature, which is a simple drop-down menu on the messageboard display that allows you your choice of whether to ignore or display anonymous postings. This has now been activated, so if you are not interested in reading the posts by those who remain anonymous, just change this, and they will be suppressed for you (optional is whether you hold your hands over your ears and shout 'I'm not listening to you - nah nah, nah, nah').
