Heyup
Can I ask why we are now forced to log in , tried earlier today to browse the site and it said I had to log in , of course I was elsewhere and do not carry my little black book of passwords so had to wait until I came home , thinking it was some computer glitch .
So this means no one can browse the site now withhout having to register and log in ?
On the welcome screen it still says "although you can read posts without the need to register." seems thats wrong too , unless its just me for some reason .
I hope this is not the case , I'm that lazy whenever I'm sent to a site to look at a post or pics and it says you need to register first , I just close that page , I only want to register with who I want to register with and not be forced to up their member list .
Cheers .

Ahh , this is what I'm talking about . For some reason on different computers today , I have been forced to log in to even browse the site . Exactly what my first post says , I had hoped :)
So there is something up somewhere . |

Yeah my cookies are cleared every day . But I have always been able to browse the site without logging in , this since I have been a member , today has been different , I have had to log in just to browse . |

You did used to be able to browse the forum without signing up, but it's evidently been changed.
I know that Lewy was thinking abou tmaking changes to the forum, this could be one of them.
We have so many idiots and spammers appearing, it just makes it easier to control them. |

I dont understand how it's easier to control , to be an idiot or a spammer you have to register . so register before this change to spam , register after the change to spam , same thing . Now it just makes it harder for members to even browse without having to log in .
I just dont like it , but thats me , I don't intend to carry passwords etc out of the house to be able to just browse a site .
so , on that note and in the words of Douglas Adams .
So long and thanks for all the fish .... |

Spammers can't harvest email addresses without registering.
Means that the forum could have blacklisted IP address updates of known spammers which would stop them from both harvesting email addresses and/or signing up to spam.

Sorry couldn't resist!
I don't like it but if it helps cut down on spammers the that's great and fully support it. All my forum passwords are the same, it's only the important stuff that has different passwords!

i'm another one that goes down the tradional route of using my brain....
how on earth do you get money out of a cash machine? or pay for anything on your cards using chip & pin?
or if numbers are acceptable put words aren't then i'm sure your forum password could be numerical............? |

I for one welcome the change if it reduces the amount of spammers. There have been far too many lately. I thought it had something to do with the original drama llama at first as it seemed to get worse when he joined.
I usually sign in whenever I want to browse as it means i can jump straight to the active topics and stick a post in when I want.I don't have a problem remembering passwords of sites I use often.
I wondered what PFK was too. Thought i was being dense lol |
