I mentioned to a merchants' Elist that there was some talk about the possibility of Storefronts for Merchants here at RF.com, but it seems the "Merchant's News" area may be locked out except to members? Could this be altered? I would think some of the info there would be of use to "guests" visiting the forum.
We had to set certain areas that were being hit hard by spammers with restrictions to keep them at bay. A member has to have 10 posts before the merchants area becomes visible. I'm hesitant to revert back, but with the changes that will be happening, we'll see what changes need to be made.
Yeah I figgered it was an anti-spam measure. Too bad there's not a "read only" option until a new member reaches a certain point...
I take that back, all they have to be is a registered member for the merchants area. That should make it much easier.
