How does one e-mail a moderator–ie, how does one get a moderator’s e-mail address?

I no longer see any listing of moderators at the top of the forum pages anymore.

Thanks!

Where did you get that page? I can’t see how to link to it from anywhere except your post.

On the main page, click “View Forum Leaders.” It’s located right under the BBQ Pit.

The moderators are also listed at the bottom of the forum’s thread listing page, just below the end of the “replies” column.

Clinkers. _n_ The incombustible residue, fused into an irregular lump, that remains after the combustion of coal.

Also note that in the upper right corner of each post, there’s a little icon of an exclamation point. You can click on that to email the Forum Moderators, with no muss, fuss, or bother (Pay no attention to the warning that this is only to be used for international catastrophes, use it when you think necessary. We trust you.)

Don’t know how I missed that…

I think they used to be listed at the top, and I just couldn’t break that paradigm… 🙂
