Viewing Forums

Note that I recently changed the permissions on the forums. You must now be registered to access each forum. Hopefully this will make us a little more secure...

Dude! I was wondering what the heckie-weck was going on tonight! I thought the site had been hacked again, as each time I hit a button, one more forum site disappeared!

lol.. that was me changing the permissions, one forum at a time. I actually had the View Forum changed to Registered, but it looked weird when a non-registered person entered the Board homepage. So I changed that back to All. You must have not signed in yet when you saw the changes?

So, all newcomers must create a login just to read the forum? OK, if that's going to make the Dojo more secure it's fine, but I'm afraid that some people might not want to create a login just to read a few posts before they ever decide posting... But I don't know much about computer security and I cannot say much about the issue or provide solutions, so whatever you do is fine by me

Yeah-- I finally signed in by the time everything had vanished, and saw that everything was up!

You are right, Z,and I did factor that in. But in light of the recent hacking, I basically had no choice. All i can say is that if the info is really worth it to them, a couple minutes to fill out a login app and then an extra 5 seconds to login every visit isn't too bad a price to pay.
