What do you guys think about compulsory login?

Hey guys,

I've got one of Dave's guys doing some work on the blog (super technical stuff that I don't know about) later this week.

1 thing he is going to fix is your 'avatar' (that is your profile picture) so you can upload that. And he is going to make it so you can 'upload' photos that we want to submit.

One other thing I was thinking about was 'forcing' a login. This forum is for all of us so I won't do it unless you guys think it will work.

The pros and cons....

Pros - means you can send people private messages. We keep track of different personalities on the board.

Cons - people might post less often.

Let me know your thoughts.

If your reqire a login it may discourage spammers.

J,

Nah there hasn't been much spam so far. I think I've only deleted 2 posts and both were of people saying they were 14yo.

OK guys,

Well it sounds like everyone is kewl with logging in.

I'll keep this topic open for another 2 days and then I'll change it over.

Thanks for the feedback and hopefully it works out.

I don't mind logging in Justin. Mine is set on the auto login so I can't remember when I last had to do it manually.

Hey guys,

I've changed the compulsory login stuff and I think it is working smoothly now.

Planning on having the picture and avatar (that is the little picture on your profile) uploading stuff ready by mid week.

Any probs let me know.

I find it fairly easy to login, especially since there is the automatic login available. I've experienced no problems. Thanks for asking.
