Hi all,

From now on, you need to be logged in to see anything of substance on the forum. If you aren't logged in, you will see the front page, and that's it. Everything else will become visible after you login.

Thanks,

David

I was about to email you asking why I couldn't access anything without being logged in!

Various reasons.

There's *heaps* of already registered users who don't bother to log in but still check what's happening fairly often.


Let's call them lurkers :P


We'd love to see more of these lurkers contributing, which of course they can't do unless they are logged in. They really only need to log in the once and have the 'log me in automatically' box thingy ticked.. unless they are using a public pc like in a library or internet cafe in which case they should most definitely not be using that option and they should also log themselves out once they're finished.
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!
