I am seeing bold red text and copyright/trademark logos in the text bodies of some posts, even old ones. You may already be aware.

It is not affecting mine (yet?)

I use an ipad for posting, so maybe it's a MS thing?

Edit: now it is affecting mine. When I return to the page, my text has been randomly modified.

I'm concerned you think the linked text is red.

You may need an eye exam or do one of those internet color tests.

Do these look right to you?

Well done sir. Here I was thinking I needed to get in on the joke, but could not incorporate unbolded, black texts of "restricted" and "trademark" in a cohesive post.

In many ways, the attempt would not stray far from my usual level of incoherency...

It seems the Vanagon guys are a bit confused. So far they've started 3 topics on this. All have been locked.

Maybe bee it's been a long winter for them.

Busy little beavers, aren't they.

Maybe they're too busy racing.

A bunch of people emailed me to ask if the site was hacked or they had a computer issue.

Very Happy
