Yeah, I had noticed that from waaay back.. lol! =P  I was kind of figuring, you guys had already knew of that too, that's why I didn't say anything.. 

So, earlier today.. when after I had deleted some of the "unanswered".. other requests came in, and just did a Copy/Paste of the "Sept 26" into the "Find In This Page" option, via the Firefox browser, up top, under the EDIT tab, and searched the whole page that way.. =P

Once I found it, I "claimed" it lol. I think it's going to be the *only way* of doing things, until "we" get more "rights" to work with the theme, or some means in general, to be able to do these tasks we want..
