Could we at least agree to wait until the present problems are eliminated? I seem to recall they began at the same time when Bob took away our bottom taskbar. Although it didn't affect me, I think he also turned off the membership registration. Now you want to mess with it. Perhaps after he installed the new server he turned these functions back on, when he should have done it before the transfer. I have confidence that they will be fixed. Less that other problems might crop up before that happens unless you lay off.<G>
that sounds pretty good but in #3, why don't you simply give freebies 18 posts/day at that point once you have verified the email account and the newbie has clicked that random number/phrase/link to activate the account?
