Re: Forum Registration is a joke but I am not laughing
It's nice to see that very little changes around here (discussions about "over-zealous" moderation inter alia). I too found the registration form to be overly overbearing (as opposed to mildly overbearing). I was asked "How many threes make 9". Even I managed to work that one out, so I typed "3". No, that was wrong. The answer was "three", not "3". So why not ask "How many 3s make 9" or "How many threes make nine"... *sigh*. I think I went around that ever-decreasing circle five times before being allowed in.
Anyway, my name is Frank and I've been here before. I hope to be able to learn and contribute in equal measure as, I believe, I have done in the past. And, not being one to measure greatness by post count, I hope to meet old friends and acquaintances for as long as I am here. It's a shame Bill won't be around as much as he was, he is one of the unsung heroes of this forum.
This is and always has been the best Xara forum anywhere in the known universe, and its value as such is immeasurable.

Hi Frank, you old son of a gun. Good to see you!
Saludos,
Bob.
Re: Forum Registration is a joke but I am not laughing
Wow, no more signatures, no animated avatars, threats to shoot you at dawn if you spam, it's not just the tortuous registration form, this place really gives me a big warm fluffy all over!
Thanks for the welcome guys :)
Re: Forum Registration is a joke but I am not laughing
And a big welcome back from me too! :) Nice to see you here again.
Re: Forum Registration is a joke but I am not laughing
Me too Frank, welcome back !
Re: Forum Registration is a joke but I am not laughing
Are you going to repost some of those really helpful mini-tutorials Frank? Bookmarked some but you disappeared them :cool: Welcome back anyway :)
Re: Forum Registration is a joke but I am not laughing
I've no idea what could have posessed me to "disappear" them... :rolleyes:* If you remind me what they were I can post them to my gallery if I remember how that's done. I'm sure I still have them, I tend not to throw anything away.
* :point :rolleyes: I'm surprised this icon hasn't been :banned:, just about everything else has (:|
Re: Forum Registration is a joke but I am not laughing
I'll try and find any xars I did from them. It was generally useful stuff, y'know
