    Tim, thank you for your reply.
    Since I brought this matter up in this forum, I’ll respond here.
    You were correct about the old key being in the box – they are not obviously different. My error there for not looking more carefully.
    Thank you for the email address, although I’m pleased to say I don’t seem to need it.
    Regarding the change you mentioned, that’s not the only thing you need to fix.
    Did you miss my statements about “Global Options”?
    And about “highlight”? If you have made that same error in other places then you should fix all of them.
    For anyone who thinks that “highlight” is the same as “selected”, try using Word’s search to find a word that appears more than once in a document – you will see that the two things are very different, and that text can be highlighted and selected at the same time.
    Did you mark this as “Resolved”? You should not have done that until you had my confirmation that it was.

    Re “It is not necessary to post in all caps to get your point across.”, you have simply repeated the same thing with no reasoning.

    No less necessary than the theme’s built in fault is unnecessary.

    Again – if you dislike the uppercase in the post then you dislike forced uppercase in the theme, and quite rightly so.

    Are we finished with that point now?

    I also see lowercase now. For many days forced refreshes made no difference.

    As I said above, reopening the css file from the Siteground server shows no text-transform, so I would be surprised if anything funny happened at that end.

    I would not have thought that either Chrome or Firefox would have kept an old version of a css file or anything else relevant to a page beyond a forced refresh of it.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the prompt response. Our posts crossed there.

    Re “First off, there’s no need to post in all caps at us, regardless of whatever Twenty Twelve does.” – if uppercase looks like shouting in this post then it looks like shouting in people’s website menu items and everywhere else this unwelcome change is imposed.

    That was the point of putting those post lines in uppercase, since that’s the effect of it.

    So you don’t like forced uppercase either ??

    Re “the text you’d like to change” – the point was that the text was modified on the way out but should not have been, not that I would like to change it back again.

    Forced change is still happening in browsers that I have tried in this computer (Chrome, Firefox) and the same ones in Android.

    ps … forced page refresh made no difference.

    Remember Me is not working in recent days. Chrome and Firefox.

    Growmap stopped all automated spam until several weeks ago. Ineffective since then.

    Before trying it for the first time I was suspicious of the notion that a tickbox which can be seen and ticked by a user can not be effectively ticked automatically.

    I wonder whether an enhancement to Growmap is possible to restore its effectiveness.

    I despise the practice of attempting to analyse content to determine whether any comment or email is spam.

    Any suggestions for alternative spam comment blockers that do not do that but don’t make user experience inconvenient or difficult and are still fully effective?

    Quick thought re “Enter email address …”

    It reads a bit like a command, perhaps offputting.

    The font is hard black, which seems to grab attention and divert it away from the heading.

    How about something a bit softer, eg “your email address”, with no capital “y”, and in grey, perhaps in italics?

    Have a look at Gumroad’s use of grey for fonts, particularly in text entry boxes. It’s superbly done.

    Thanks for your prompt response Aldo.

    I wrote my first post on this topic about 20 hours ago, and WordPress tells me that your new version was done about 22 hours ago. Were you already working on it when I wrote my post?

    Re the new option “Display this section after the title of the post”, technically it was already “after”, since everything else follows after the title. “immediately after” would be better.

    Re the “elements margins”, this is a section where clearer instructions would help.

    From that section title I did not guess that these settings could make the changes that I described. I vaguely assumed that these “margins” would be left and right margins of whole blocks of text, perhaps whole post summaries.

    If they are vertical margins then saying whether they are top or bottom would be a good idea. That alone would have given a strong hint that these settings can do the trick. I see that these are bottom margins.

    The information that you have provided does not tell me which one of these margin settings applies to text in the “Author, date and comments” section. It turned out to be the “Utility margin”, but I would never have guessed that from the wording.

    Perfect result though, everything spaced appropriately now, and it took only about 3 minutes of experimenting.

    Again, thanks for the good work that you have done on this excellent plugin.

    Laurie
