Hi Darryn / Ideology,
Just noticed that the Web Site forum only appears when you are logged on... Would it be an idea to make all forums like this so that people do have to register to see what's being said...
Call me paranoid if you like, but I'd prefer to make sure we know who's listening... It might also help to avoid SPAM??

good idea
robots regularly crawl this and other sites looking for email addresses
(just ask the ginger loon!)

so we've modified the memberlist, profiles and usergroups to require login

if you see any problems, please let us know
