public forums

is it possible to have the 'public forums' threads denoted by a different colour

I have just realised that I have been posting in the public forum threads

and I didn't realise it at the time

OK.  Based on PPH's suggestions you will notice now that when you're in one of the public forums that the forum navigation links (at the top of the page under the logo) are now red.

There is another thing about the public forum that is different.
If you post there and are not happy with the post you CANNOT delete it, No matter how hard you try (Thanks Mark):angel:

I believe only a moderator can delete posts in any forum now.  I recall that people were deleting not only their own, but other people's posts and entire threads before this activity was stopped.-John

oh ta

I won't post in them anymore unless I am really careful about what I post!, I got a bit relaxed in one of the granny bait thread and joked around with you Trout
and now I see it's up there for the world to see

perhaps having two granny bait threads in the public forum is a bit much
I never heard the term til I came to this forum
but but - post post edit - I just went into that thread and changed it - was the editing changed?

That's exactly right.

You can still edit your posts if you don't like what you've said.
