Hey Howard, I woke to check email, this board, etc., with a new message from "Celinesky." After reading this message, it's obviously spam. Can you assist with this matter?

Hey Howard, I noticed that the nifty little "Preview" on each topic has disappeared - did you make it go away?? I liked it because I didn't have to actually go into a topic to see if I wanted to read all the threads. Roberta (who really loves this forum)
