Why has the welcome at the top left changed to salutations?
And why has the layout of the comment boxes changed? We now have a comment that reads "HTML is disabled, because it causes more problems than it's worth." which isn't word-wrapped, pushing the box further over to the right.

Likewise. Why shouldn't these little things change every now and then? It's part of what makes the Ship enjoyable. God knows, a little chuckle now and then is therapeutic.

I was more concerned that the hosts would go into 'random' mode again as they've done before, where threads turn up on random boards and it all goes a bit Magic Roundabout.

Indeed. This was very much not "Random Mode", it was merely a refreshing change to a couple of wordings used around the place. Such things have been quietly going on for the whole time the Ship has been afloat, usually without there being any reaction whatsoever.
It's somewhat gratifying to find that somebody noticed it this time!

I was tempted to do something like replacing one of the wordings on the front page with "Hail Gallaxhar", but that might have been going a bit too far...

( It was me. I changed the edit message, too.)
I am beginning to suspect that Marv and I are the only ones on team Admin that still find playing around with the Wordlets a novelty. In any case, he started it, and I thought, "I wanna play!"

.? i didn't touch the greeting. the script is still in place, and I only mucked around with wordlets... Not sure why the greeting would shut off.

(After poking around) honestly, I don't know where I would find the place to turn that on and off, so I guess we will have to wait for it. Like I said, the script is stil there...

I think if you are not logged in there is a login link up at the top, next to My Profile, Directory, Search, FAQs. To log out the only way I've found is to click on Reply to a thread. Then you get your own "Displayed name" with a log out link in brackets next to it.

The best piece of advice I've seen for this is to compose your post in a note app or word processing program and then copy/paste when ready.
Not doing that has been the cause of much frustration. The iPad is especially prone to losing posts and mine has been saved from violent destruction only because my own complicity.

Well, it looks like in fixing things, pease had to restore the defaults, so we'll have to come up with some more snazzy tweaks.
