Okay- one person is going to ruin it for everyone. We're continuing to get junk posts that look like a foreign language or a child playing on a keyboard. Since it's always a guest that does this, I may be forced to change the permissions on the board to allow only registered members to post.
I hate to do this but I'm concerned that we will have porn postings next and I'd like this to remain a family board...so you people that post as guests may want to go ahead and get registered so when you want to post in a hurry (during a foaling) you're not slowed down.
I'm still holding off on doing it - but not sure how long I'll wait......

Its sad that it has come to this Heather, but I'm sure we all understand why it will need to be done. A lot of the cam sites are doing this, and it has cut back on the number of spam postings, as well as negative, and rude comments, not to mention the trolls. Thanks for wanting to keep this board family friendly!!

Heather this is an awesome sight, now one of the first i check everey time i get the computer away from my hubby, but I understand the concerns about those junk posts. I've noticed if you run your cursor over the letters they are links. I don't click them out of fear they couldlead to some site that could be a virus or could harm the computer, and seeing as how this is a loaner while my other one gets fixed i don't want to screw this one up too. LOL
Thanks for looking out for all of us even if it means it becomes a register only site. I would rather it be a register only site and know it is safe and family friendly when i send links to people who are interested in it and not click on a post and get a virus or porn.
Great job on the site.

I've seen the junk too. Curiosity got the best of me and this morning I clicked on a link that led to stuff we don't need here. I was very tempted to post about how annoying it was, but refrained.

Seems too me that the poster probably isn't a real person it is a Bot we used to have alot of those kinda things come into chat when the msn chat was free,Well I guess in a way it is a person but they just send the bot in and it types weird stuff, be careful if you click on something though what they type could be a virus.MandyMe2
