I am not sure what you are talking about. I do not see anything.
Take Care,

It appears so greyed out - It's almost imposible to read unless you hilight it with your mouse. Maybe my brightness / contrast settings enable me to see it!

Out Of Trim,
I highlighted everything and nothing. Try viewing the Source code and see if you can find it listed in there. Just a though.
Take Care,

Out Of Trim,
Nice catch! I was looking under the forum list on the main page:
Reporting Points that may affect our jobs or lives as professional pilots
Take Care,

This is an attempt by a certain pilot to influence his Boss to reduce the number of night flights on his roster.
So far it has failed miserably :) :) :)

Ah, but I think maybe not! I notice a most welcome paucity in night flights due to my subliminal advertising. The 'decoy' has worked well but "ve haf udder vays" :E :\ :zzz: :zzz:

Am I the only one that looks at those ads above the forum posts carefully??
In a very light grey font is a variety of pilot friendly messages such as:
No night flights please!
25% pay rise and less night flights for all pilots!
Hooray, now to sell this to the boss
:ok:

Good detective work there! How on the earth did you see that? I can only see the messages when I highlight the top of the page.

I just spotted that too, looks like you beat me to it E D D.
The we I've spotted them is not by looking at the text, but the formatting. If it centre formatted but one line is further over, or in the new one, a whole line is blank.
