The Chat now opens on the Forum,, not as a link.
It will remain Private for members only.
As members get on the chat they will have to be made 'Members" by myself or one of the Moderators.
Al & Lesa will remain Moderators of the Chat program.
I would like to Thank them for all their help.
When using the chat area, YOU MUST USE THE NAME THAT YOU ARE REGISTERD UNDER ON THE CLUB LIST! Unrecognized names will be removed/ banned from the chat. This could also cause your membership from the club to be banned due to your IP address being logged in the security program.
Once in you will be assigned a temp user name. You will have approximately 15 minutes to change it to your registered club name.
If you need help changing it please contact us.
After that you will be removed from chat until I reset your name to log in to the chat again.
Please do not log in and start changing your user name. If you are not recognized it will get banned in a only a few moments.
As with any internet site there is a risk of breaching the security settings and I'm sure some one will try. Once discovered I will take the appropriate actions to prevent this from happening again.
I have changed the member registration to "Admin Approval', this means that all new members must be approved by a Moderator or myself.
This will restrict open Membership but that is the best way to prevent spammers and Net-Spiders from harvesting our members profile information.
In the last 72 hours I have stopped and blocked 47 such potential threats.
I would also like to Thank all the members for their support and patience as I go thru the changes to make this a better site and forum.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or suggestions you might have.
Phil
