That was fun - but it didn't give me back the edit gimlet or delete or that edit that allows you to extract a quote.

Strange though a couple more permissions are showing but not the ones I need.
The “Display Name” (Author Name) is primarily used as a description. It allows “us” to keep track of who “us” are, but doesn’t appear to do much for the forum’s internal functions. Other than keeping track of who’s who, about the only thing it seems to accomplish is to prevent duplicating names. When you sign up for the forum, you are assigned a number called an “Author ID”. Your number is 788606685. As best as I can determine, that number doesn’t change. It didn’t appear to change when you changed your “Display Name”. The display name can be changed multiple times, and can even be changed back. The advantage of this consistent number is for bringing up past posts. You can still bring up past post for someone that has changed their “Display Name”.
