When I click the Endorse button everyone shows up in just some random order which makes it kind of difficult to find a specific person. Can (or will) you sort the list alphabetically to make it easier to find someone?

What gives with the bold purple text following the code in [this thread](http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/cpp/threads/453883/problem-in-sfml-project)? It's confusing, and looks like shit. Is that some new formating change made to the forums?

Shouldn't his account be retired? He passed away a couple years ago, I think it's time for DaniWeb to retire his account and move on. I see his name in such places as Endorsements, which don't really mean anything for him any more.

Anyone use this distribution? I have a big big problem with the keyboard -- it misses characters or irradically repeats random characters. I might press a key quickly once and the driver will repeat it 100 or more times. Other times it misses the key altogether.
