Konopapw has been spending some time redesigning our homepage and navigation buttons in order to speed things up and cut down on the bandwidth needed to open the homepage. I'll post the URL for the new homepage in a day or two so everyone can give their opinions before we go production. One of the changes we have talked about is the link to the chat room. Currently anyone can go there and join our chat or create another "room" for a private chat or some other discussion. The other night there were 2 or 3 unknown names discussing how to pick up girls or some subject like that. The question is should we put a password on that link in order to get into the chatroom. It would be something that everyone on the maillist would receive in order to log in. This would NOT prevent anyone from going directly to the chat by typing in the correct URL in their browser or from a shortcut they had previously created. Just the link on our homepage would have the password window popup since there doesn't seem to be a way to limit access to this external site. What's the feeling: leave it wide open for everyone or add the password for those that may stumble across it on our webpage? Rich Now back to your regularly scheduled program.....
