Get Everything Done

Because spam is becoming a major problem on this discussion group, I have decided to make it membership only. This will not cost anything, but means that you must register before you can use the site, and will have to sign on when you want to make a posting.

If you wish to register for the site, please email me at mf@markforster.net with the following details:

1) Account login name (alphanumeric characters only - minimum 4)

2) Display Name (the name you wish your postings to be displayed under - may contain spaces)

3) Password (6-25 characters)

I recommend if you were previously a frequent poster to the site that you use the same Display Name to ensure continuity.

The first batch of registrations has now been activated, and they should now be able to log on. The Log-In button is at the right end of the top menu bar.

If anyone has difficulties, please email me ( mf@markforster.net )

We now have 70 members of this Forum including myself. I hope some of those who haven't posted yet will feel free to do so.

No, it doesn't at present. But, even if it did, captcha systems are far from infallible.

No spam at all has so far got through this site's new system of registering for the Forum and moderation of the Blog comments

<< Captcha is really a pain >>

And I don't know if it's just me, but I can never read the wiggly letters right!

Laurence:

There are now 82 members, which means that 12 have joined since November 2nd when I last posted the number of members, a rate of just under two new members a day.

I don't know what the rate of newcomers was before the registering was introduced, but I do know that nearly all comments came from people who were either regular posters or spammers.
