The AFA site log - in has reverted to log - in access only. Is this only temporary?

Hi Les
We're just trying something out for a few days. We regularly get anything up to 500 visitors a day who were able to view the forums and post as "guest" if they wanted to. It would be great if even 5% of those visitors decided to register as regular members. To register takes just a couple of minutes as all of us who have joined know. If the stats show that as a result, we get some new members then great; if they don't and all we get is a decline in the usual numbers of guests taking a look, then we will revert to the previous format.
Most forums I've ever participated on require a person to register in order to view the forums and to post comments, so I don't think we're being unreasonable but as said, we will revert if necessary.

Hi Graham, I have been registered for ages but admit I regularly pop in as a guest as often too lazy to use my membership login. I will now login properly in future.

Thanks Chris, we're certainly not trying to force anyone's hand, or impose any daft rules, but as said, it would be great news if just a small percentage of regular visitors who log in as "guests" decided to register with us. We've had eight new members sign on since yesterday morning so it does seem to be having the desired effect.
