It just means foreigners have to register. Surely thats not a big deal. Id rather the forum private to members.! |

I hope I'm wrong  I find myself more drawn to non-UK members posts - I know I'm not the only one. |

Thanks Neil. So visitors do need to register before viewing, why is that? I understand that registration is required for posting. I have noticed that some none UK users are from time to time ignored when posting. That's no good for an International forum? |

If the forum is not available for none members, nobody can read it nor feel interested in joining. It is like the donkey and a carrot except the carrot is missing |

I always look for posts from lpgo, Geert, Taskos, Pavlos, Harley, Mec (not that he's on here much these days though, unfortunately). Oh, and that Viking fella.  However, I do agree with the point that non-members can't be encouraged to join us if they can't see the topics and posts. I encouraged my bro to take a look at i2cvf recently and he moaned and whined about having to join. Hiding most of the site behind a membership wall must put off loads of prospective contributors, imho. |

As a non-UK member I don't feel ignored ,but I find it a bit silly that non-members are not able to read the forum. How can you encourage people to join, if they are not able to read whats going-on on the forum. Still it is ofcourse the decision of the forum owner or moderators . |
