One of those I can answer.

On top of the screen you view it says "flyerTalk Forums and then in this case "support&services" "technical issues" "two quick technical questions." You can click on any of those (e.g. "technical services" and go back to the list of messages on the topic. You can also click "flyertalk forums" and get to the whole list of forums.

I've asked the same question of the mail settings, but I believe you have to check "do not send e-mail" to not get it. It's the wrong default.
