Fox tbirdcougarforums.com Reply #3 – May 14, 2008, 11:26:17 AM Doesn't make any difference to me. I saw the post about it in the other thread. Although, if it's going to stay this way, I'd change the wording on the index to let visitors know they need to register to view all content. Quote Selected

Fox tbirdcougarforums.com Reply #10 – May 14, 2008, 01:29:30 PM Coming from a habitual lurker (I check the board about 4-5 times a day), I don't mind the privateness one bit. Just means that I have to log in more often to show that I'm still alive. Quote Selected

Fox tbirdcougarforums.com Reply #13 – May 14, 2008, 08:35:39 PM It's a temporary situation. I've found a script that will block guests out only when board server loads are high (it won't block them out entirely, it'll simply limit their numbers to give priority to members), it's just a matter of installing and configuring it. Should be installed by the weekend - I've just been seriously busy and have a ed 'flu on top of that. Quote Selected
