Well, it has been busy on here lately, hasn't it? I leave you lot for two minutes and you're at each others throats. LOL.
Serious question though.
I'm thinking of changing the forum style so you can view the whole thread without having to click on each individual reply, and I was considering making the e-mail field compulsory. Whaddya think? Also, in the light of the recent bad-feeling, I wonder whether the anonymity is worth carrying on with (assuming that I CAN do something about it). As Rob pointed out, we know who the main posters are and obviously they are automatically going to come under suspicion if something a bit snide is posted. These disagreements tends to spiral out of control when unknown people start having a stir. Or am I being too sensitive and it's just good knockabout fun?

Its CaptZed really for those who can't work it out.

I think the format used on UK8ball & UKPool would be better, where you can scroll up and down through the posts.

As far as User names, again I think the one name -one user, where you, as webmaster at least, know everyones identity would probably be best.

Although I'm probably the worst culprit for having multiple identities, its sooooooo tempting when everyone else is anonymous. Its only become a problem when some bonehead assumes that everyone who's not you,John or Andy must be me.
Possibly my own fault, but I reckoned anyone with half a brain would recognise my distinctive style of biting satire. Sadly this has proved not to be the case.

So although I'll be sorry to say goodbye to Control, Committee Man, Clog Fan and the rest, if everyone else can only have one name, I'll go along with it. BTW I reserve the copywrite to CaptZed, wouldn't want someone else passing themselves off as me.

The ukpool & uk8ball forum sites are downloaded from here I've had a bash at this but to confusing for me, Voy forums are the best free easily to manage ones i'd say.
