I couldn't e-mail a page. Why?

I posted in GQ on behalf of my sister, and when I got some answers, I thought it would be easier to just forward the page to her via e-mail. When I tried, I was told I hadn’t logged in. But I had, or I couldn’t have posted.

I’m a little confused. Is there something else I need to do to actually e-mail a page from the Board? Thanks for your help, and keep up the good work, folks.

The “email this page” option was turned off, due to abuse (i.e. people could make it look like someone else was the sender using that feature). You can do pretty much the same thing just by copying the URL of the thread and pasting it into an email, though.

If you’re using IE, click on file/send/page by email, as explained in this recent thread:

Which is what I did. I just wondered why the glitches. That clears it up. Thanks.
