Membership Subscription Option
Hi there,
My suggestion is to add another option on membership subscription option through paypal.
Automatic editing / formatting

[QUOTE](the auto formatting of this website is really a pain in the a$$!)[/QUOTE]He's right. The first letter after an [U]underlined[/U] Or [I]italicized[/I] Word gets changed from lowercase to uppercase even though the writer did not write it that way and is not appropriate. The second letter of the alphabet, if written by itself, even if in parenthesis, namely " (be)", gets changed into the word "be" (see what I mean?). Spaces the writer did not insert with the space bar on his keyboard are inserted, such as the space after the first quotation mark in the previous sentence. The third letter of the alphabet, written by itself, even if in parenthesis, gets changed into the word "see". The letter that follows the "m" in the alphabet, written by itself, gets changed into the word "and". Hyphens are changed into periods and the first letter in the next word capitalized even though the writer did not write it that way. Spaces are automatically entered after periods even if in a number with a decimal place or in a GPS position where it is not appropriate. Spaces are inserted before and after a forward slash mark, e. G,"and / or". (In the previous sentence and this one I did not capitalize the letter "g" in "e. G." nor put a space before the letter "g", and the period I put after "g" was automatically deleted.) Sometimes commas are changed into periods, such as in a street address, for example, Sophie's Tavern. 100 Main Street, Anywhereville, CA: I put a comma, not a period, after the word Tavern. The purpose is probably to improve the poor writing skills of many contributors to this web site, but the effect is as often if not more often making contributors seem like sloppy or careless writers.
It would be better if the writer could turn OFF the automatic editing, or what GandJim called "auto formatting".
Correct Spelling of Country Name

Marking Reports / Comments As Edited.
Administrators,
I'm all for you guys adjusting reports and comments so that they comply with ISG's terms of service. And if you do take that action, please put a tag line at the bottom of the report / comment to reflect that it was edited by admin. There have been a few times where my published reports and comments were slightly edited for content and it resulted in me being concerned with how the change slightly affected the grammar of the contribution. Thanks for your consideration.
Correct Spelling of City Name
In the Guatemala forum, please change the thread name of Antiqua to Antigua or (better yet) Antigua Guatemala.
Thanks!
