Unfortunately these days, it seems even websites need 'Top Security', so to protect the community there will be a number of levels of access. Anyone browsing the site will be a 'Guest', they will have access to most (but not all) sections and features of the site 'But will not be able to post articles, forum messages, events or classified ads etc'. To get access to all sections and features 'You Must Register!' Registration is FREE but will requires a 'REAL' email address else registration will fail.
Once you have registered you will have access to all sections, be able to post messages to the forum, enter events in the calendar, place ads in the classifieds and much more. What you will not be able to do 'immediately' is submit articles to the site. I have decided at this time to impose a 24 hour time limit before allowing this, again in an attempt to stop the casual idiot who thinks they will gain something by posting unrelated content.
