Some of you are getting a little confused how the proposed passwords could work.
They can be an asset not a big bad bogey man!
This board will "always" be open, meaning it will be possible
to view every message regardless of who and how your viewing the board.
First timers, proxy surfers, old timers etc etc.
The idea is if you want to post a message you will need to register.
This is 2 mins of your time and you get instant access.
It's a one off registration, simple!
If your browser is set to accept cookies (95%) then you will never need
to enter a user or password again. It will function exactly as it is now.
The cookie authenticates who you are.
We do this now anyway. (This is so you get to see the new message icon and the messages you have read highlighted)
So you know, the board is going to change in the near future, the current board software is
slow and not very flexible. We are moving to a faster more flexible board (mysql/php), similar to:
http://vbulletin.com/forum/index.php
DR1's will be much simpler and better looking, but the basic functions will be the same.
Just waiting on the current messages on DR1 to be imported.
We are just trying to get a handle on the best way to manage the board?
Maybe appoint moderators?
As I have said, "all food for thought".
