Starting today we will be requiring registration for anyone posting messages to the board.
We have gone for many years without requiring registration and have allowed users to post as a "visitor", but it seems that the time has come to require registration.
Registering is free and easy to do. You can use the register link at the top of any page on the board. If anyone has trouble registering they can send me an email and I can assist them. Registration will require that you have a valid email address. When you register we will send you a verification email that will contain a link for you to click on to complete your registration. You can delete your profile at any time if you wish.
Unregistered users can still browse and read all posts on the board, including the archived posts.
Thanks,
Andrew |

We have had a number of requests to change the board to cause threads that contain a "new message" to move to the top of the list in a category.
Many other boards and forums operate that way. It should make it easier to follow active discussions.
We have been trying it in the Mercruiser category for the past week or two and it seems to work well.
We are making the change across the whole board today.
Thanks. |

Congratulations all, we just passed 100,000 postings to the board.
Quite an accomplishment considering that most of our posts are technical questions and answers, not just conversation.
Keep up the good work and thanks to all who spend so much time here helping others.

We have started requiring non-registerd users to enter a verification code on each post in order to prevent abuse of the board.
The screen will look like the following:
Hopefully this will not be too inconvenient.
We encourage all users to register (see the link at the top of the page), most boards nowadays require it.
Thanks.
