Not sure how else to request this. But, despite being a bit of a grammar nazi I managed to title this thread "full-proof" rather than "foolproof" and I feel like one of those idiots on the internet that can't spell. Can someone fix it?

You can use the "Report" button to report your own post, in order to request something like this. Reports go to a place that all the mentors check pretty regularly, so one of us will see it quickly.

Don't mind the warning that the "Report" button is only for spam, etc. If we could re-word that warning, we would, but the forum software doesn't provide a way to do it.
