We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Dear Sue,

> 1. Field "heading" (must be between 0 and 40
> characters)

What were you attempting to enter in the "Main Page Heading" (aka 'heading') spot? Your forum is currently set for the default heading of "Welcome" (automatically set in all forums).

Additionally, VoyForums fills in the form for you with all your current forum values -- you merely need to click Reload. However, when using your web-browser's back/forward navigation buttons, many browsers have a "bug" where they lose form data (upon clicking Back). It might also be your browser cache (which you can find somewhere in your browser's options to set the size to a different value).

However, you can still simply click Reload to have VoyForums fill in the whole form again for you.

Now, this is a known problem in browsers, and we're trying to come up with a way for our site to locally compensate; however, the most we can really do is store the values, that you enter in, that are valid, and that way, when you click Back, you'd only need to click Reload and fill in the values entered wrong previously.

I'm sorry if this sounds confusing, and I'm not even sure this is what you're experiencing; however, that error message is only obtained when you enter too long of a Header
line (longer than 40 characters).

I hope this helps -- Please write back if you have any more problems (or are confused, as am I... *smile*...)

Sincerely,
Brandon
VoyForums Staff
