Gary,

It is not something I've found access to change in the board software. I'll take another look, but it seems to have been set by the programmer.

I will send a message to my hosting account. We get the software free with the hosting account (no $199 lifetime or $69 per year fee). So, I'm a customer, but I'm not sure I'm a customer. Did that make sense? Let me do some digging.
