This is my first official post, so i hope it's helpful. The reason for it being done now...well I'll forget once I'm in
. When I visited the site, I had a hard time to register. (I might add Dean helped me out via email) He stated that up top it says "registration", I knew that we weren't seeing the same page. So I opened "forum" and saw the header "registration" as he said. As a guest that didn't have access I couldn't see it from the base home page. The 5 headers are: home, articles, forums, articles, & contact us. The only reason for this post is that guests might more easily register if it's accessible from the start page. And more members is a good thing (I think).
P.S. as I'm typing this I see the smilies on the left...love em.
