Hi Nivard The Mariners-L website is an extension of the Mariners Mailing List so I am confining membership to members of the list. The general public will be able to view all images and information with out restriction once its up there, If I open membership to everyone it becomes something other then a tool for our members and may detract from the Mailing List in time. I run a small IT business from my home and I am a full time carer to my disabled wife, I would not have the time to administrate a larger forum. I am not sure I understand the comparison with the bank of England ? may be its that the gallery is empty and looks a bit more like an Irish Bank. And to Peter a password is not required for viewing images or information ?, The Gallery is empty except for a few images myself and Ron put up to test it out.

Thanks for yours Mick And also for the explanation I was a little concerned that it was a members only with no public access, you have explained that it will be open to all to view I like the analogy with the Irish Bank, very good :-) On first sight it sounded like a members only site and I didn't even look because of that God luck with it and my best to you and your good lady wife Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hi Nivard > > The Mariners-L website is an extension of the Mariners Mailing List so I am confining membership > to members of the list. > The general public will be able to view all images and information with out restriction once its > up there, > If I open membership to everyone it becomes something other then a tool for our members and may > detract from the Mailing List in time. > > I run a small IT business from my home and I am a full time carer to my disabled wife, I would not > have the time to administrate a larger forum. > > I am not sure I understand the comparison with the bank of England ? may be its that the gallery > is empty and looks a bit more like an Irish Bank. > > And to Peter a password is not required for viewing images or information ?, The Gallery is > empty except for a few images myself and Ron put up to test it out. > > Mick
