Could the forums please be "Only Registered users can p

[Dexter]

Maybe it's just me, but I don't particularly like having to go all the way back to the home page to log in if I forgot to when I clicked the site and I want to post. More than once I have accidentally tried to post as an unregistered user. I mean, most forums won't let you post unless you're registered, partially as a buffer against trolls, and partially becuase seeing "Unregistered" under someone's name is fairly annoying.

So, what do you say, could you make it so you have to be registered to post in every forum? It's sure make my life easier, especially when I type out a LOOOOOONG post, and Internet Exploder deletes it when I try to go back to log in. D'oh!

Thanks scott, and keep up the good work!

you could always select what you typed, hit control+C or right click and copy. then go... login...and return to the post and just paste it in. or you could just post as guest.. and put your name at the bottom of the post. just a thought. or... you could check the "always keep me logged in" box when you do login.


warrenbaity <---- like this!

or just put your real name if people know you better bye that:

I'm in process of converting the forums over to registered user access only.

Scott, can we have a "Logout" button? I dunno if anyone else has two people posting from the same computer but it'd help Chris & me out.

Let me ask Brian about it... I believe he disabled that.

Please remove the log-in-to-read "feature". It's rather annoying and decreases readership. Let anyone browse, please.

I like the "register to post" function, keep that.

I am converting forums to be open to anyone to read, only registered users to reply. It might take me awhile though, as I don't have much time.

Cool, glad to see it's progressing. Again, thanks for all the hard work -- you volunteered for a very difficult job.
