Ooops...I forgot to answer that one!
There are a few here that have their real names. It's just a personal preference, whatever you are comfortable with. My name is "afgreyparrot" here, but everyone calls me "Cindy" anyway...or "afgrey"...or sometimes even "Dingbat"!

Bill you said you turned off HTML coding, I feel more comfortable with that. I understand it better then UBB code.
But I understand you don't have time to turn off the tags that are left open. I post on another site that had that problem, they finally set it up to auto close all tags.
As far as the 'Hot-Linking' one of the best ways to explain it, is like those websites that take a long time to load, they are so full of ads and junk, and all of these have to be downloaded from all over the web. I don't like it either.
I normally run filter to block a lot of that junk.
