Hi Guys - I have noticed when searching Google for various things ferry related often results will include unposted responses from this form. What I mean is that if you hit "reply" and then type whatever you are going to say, but never actually post it - that's the window that is coming up in Google searches. My concern is that you don't have to be logged into the user's account, then to post. For example, I was "in" Flugel's account last night. I have posted an example using my account, I hope the links work for you to see: My Google search was for "The Dolphin Back Issues+BC Ferries" First page results -> www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=The+Dolphin+Back+Issues%2BBC+Ferries&meta=Fourth result, first page -> ferriesbc.proboards20.com/index.cgi?board=generaltalk&action=post&thread=1199297607&page=3That's a "reply" box from my account linked into Google. It's not really a huge "issue" per say, it's just wierd. Cheers PS - I am not actually sure if you can even do anything when you view someone else's post, out of privacy I didn't try to post when I was viewing a response to be made by another member.

I just went to your 2nd link above, Dane, and found the reply box, and added text and posted.
the post was done & shows as my own Flugel Post.
So since you said the link was your own reply, maybe it will credit & identify the post to whoever actually does it.
============
I then logged-out, and went to same spot as a guest, and again posted a reply. this time, the reply was identified to my guest name....not to my logged-in name.
conclusion: no one can do someone else's username to post, re this google item.
