Forum Authentication

I have changed the forum so that new accounts will not have access to the forum until authenticated by me.

This has been done as a result of accounts trying to be added for the purpose of gathering email addresses. With accounts set up recently claiming to be in the US but with Russian and Polish email addresses.

It is advisable that members should set their emails to hidden in their profiles. If you are not sure how to do this let me know and I can do it for you.

If you need to contact another forum member it is advisable to initially do it via private message, you can always exchange emails that way.
