I see RickG is playing around with the new system!

Had the exact same thoughts

Not that it's needed, but just adding my 2 cents....

Ditto to all of the above! Thanks for all you do, Anthony!

I'm in, %100. I've seen problems elsewhere, but I try to ignore them. Some people just try to get a rise out of others for their own pleasure. It's pointless if you ask me, and not worth entertaining. That's all the trolls are looking for; attention.
Augie-
We have to meet up at the BB! I'm going to miss the forum get-together, so at least let me buy you a chilly one before we leave!
Smile a while!

Holy Moly.
We didn't get a "harumph" out of that guy!
Too much...

Hey Rick(G) - what do you think? Did it go smoothly?

Yes....unregistered users would be awful. I agree that registered users "keep it real". I agree with Rick G. I like the system that requires an email response, but CAPTCHA is quicker. I just hate it when you can't read it.....

Great job on the Forum Anthony!

It worked fine, on the second captcha. If it was too easy a machine could solve the problem. It's a good approach and lets first-time posters proceed with the least amount of delay possible.

Cheers, RickG

Jimmy - no problem mon! How about Skinny's on Friday night? I'll send you a PM closer to your departure date and we'll figure it out.

Work, work, work...

Yes - this ReCaptcha system is pretty good. We use it a lot on our blogs. Once and a while someone gets through it to leave a comment - but that is without the email confirmation. With that step - it is looking almost bullet proof.

So someone obviously got through today with those cell phone posts... it takes an awful lot but they still try...

When that kind of stuff pops up please feel free to alert me -

A couple years ago I contemplated going to St. Maarten. After lurking on another forum for several weeks it totally turned me off to the island. Most often the posts from unregistered users were negative and not very productive for those reading it which would cause people to bicker back and forth. The negativity was hard to keep reading over and over again. I love this board just like it is!!!! I don't post very often but lurk nearly everyday. I would hate to see anything change the upbeat, helpful place it is.
