Do you have any suggestions as to how I might fix the problem? Is there an administrator that can fix the problem? I cannot get the menu anywhere. I just spent a while reading messages and hitting the reply function. Not once did the icon menu show up on the reply screen. I get the feeling that someone running the site does not want me to post! I posted on a dozen or so message boards in 18 years and never saw this before now.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
