GUESTS - the solution.

[Chris]

Eek could have replied that he personally preferred the original board style. Instead he began with:

How cliquey can we get ....

and ended with

Let's try and remain open - and (gasp! shock! horror!) friendly

I took that as a bit unfriendly and definitely critical an so replied in kind.
But keel-hauled? Publicly flogged?.....................

Chris, do you think it is necessary change the main page for the board as, at present, it doesn't state that you need to log-on to view?

As you say, most 'guests' are members but just in case there's a newby?

[Chris]

I have left the announcements forum visible Trev, which contains instructions. But I haven't made any major change since I hadn't really any intention of leaving the change in place, I was only carrying out an experiment because a couple of people were curious about the number of anonymous guests. I thought the community would be interested to see one of the variants of the board's modus operandi. Unfortunately some people dived in to make a big deal about it, apparently completely misunderstanding exactly what I had done, what the word experiment meant.

Of course if I did decide to leave it thus then I would probably want to indicate on the front page that there was more content. Although if the content is so very off-putting as your informant, and Jon Green apparently find it, then perhaps it better remains hidden?

[Trev]

Thanks for the confirmation, Chris.

Wellies...must have been Martin Bridle!
