David,
I agree with you on this one. While this feature is an amazing asset to some message boards, I feel it doesn’t fit for this one. We’re all quality posters here. 
Is anyone still having login issues?
It’s pretty good as is. Maybe advertise it for more members. Would be nice if more members here participated…3,315 members and most are lurkers.
Just don’t freak out the colors and text and make it hard to read or write. Keep it simple.
And thanks for your service in providing a yoga forum for members worldwide.
