A sugestion

I couldn't log on for the last couple of days, kept telling me I wasn't authorised.

My problem was I couldn't log on & there is no way of finding out whether the problem was my end cause I couldn't ask without logging on.

Fortunately I knew Jim's email adress & sorted it that way. Found the virus & sorted it (obviously) thanks Jim.

So how about a section for this sort of thing where you don't need to log in. Just so people can at least find out what end the problem is at.

There is a front page prior to the Forum Spook where Andrew posts messages - not often but he does - www.aussieveedubbers.com. Perhaps this would be the spot your looking for??

Dunno if your talking about the 'contact us' bit Squiz, but I found that now.
When I open the page it opens straight to the forum & bypasses the bullshit.
Never looked at the front page before....😎
