  • Needing to 'sign in' to view the forum.

    Today whilst trying to look at the forum a message has appeared stating that you need to log on in order to be able to view the boards. Is this a glitch or a new temporary/permanent requirement? If it's the latter, what is the reason behind it?

          TBH, I never log out. It may look like i'm always online but i'm not. I forgot my password once and the man who runs it had to help me with a new one to get me back in.
          If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.

            Other than a sudden influx of trolls/wums, why would you do that? Not being able to view anything without first signing up isn't going to help attract new members.

              I think it only shows you as online when you actually are.

                  Oh right, I didn't know that.

                    True. Who knows what is behind the decision ? Same with the edit function being limited to an hour, downright annoying at times and you cant delete or edit a post after an hour.

                      It is annoying for people like me who continually make typos or repeat words e.g. my last post in the GOT thread.
