    Not sure I know what you mean Zig, but on most forums you can read the posts as a guest ... just not respond. It's what a lot of people do before they join, ie, the 'lurkers'. :heehee:

    Any body in the world can read the threads, Ziggy.
    But you do need to be registered and logged on before you can post on the forum.
    Please tell me you were logged on when you made this post :th_redx:

    I think the point Ziggy is making is it says "password protected" after "Inner Sanctum".
    But why?
    The whole site is password protected if you want to post.

    That was my point Pete. I thought it was an only viewable by members section. I've seen them on other forums where you can't view as a guest.

    I'm very good at lurking Armandii:heehee:

    If the CIA found out you're a hacker, Ziggy, there'll be two sunglasses equipped guys knocking on your door.

    They sit outside most days, I take them coffee & doughnuts & a few veg & they let me play with their directional microphones & satelite tracking stuff. Last week we were watching a Tapir rooting for grubs in south american forests. This week, we've been watching surfing babes in Hawaii.

    You've just reminded me of something funny that happened years ago.

    At the time, my step dad was going through a bad spell. He had lost his job, and by coincidence (unrelated) he and my mam had had a big fall out and he'd moved out to a flat. Being out of work and single he started claiming benefits.

    One day during this spell I'd gone to visit my mam. I'm one of those strange people that notices everything. I saw an ordinary looking car parked over the road from my mam's, with two ordinary looking chaps sat in it, glancing at me approaching and at my mam's house. I greeted my mam, then asked 'who are they watching your house?', to which my mam replied casually 'just a couple of benefits people I think seeing if your step dad is lying about having moved out'. That was the end of it for a couple of hours, until it was my turn to make the cuppas. Instead of getting two cups out (one for me and one for my mam), I got four out, and the tray. I made an extra two white teas, and put the sugar pot and a teaspoon on the tray. My mam who knows me better than I know myself, saw what I'd done and didn't say a word. Off I went with the tea tray and some biscuits. I knocked on the car window. The window wound down and a chap asked 'yes?'. I said 'I've just brought you some tea and biscuits, you must be ready for it by now, you've been here watching my mam's house for a good few hours now, you must be parched'. The chaps suddenly went all awkward, and managed to stutter something like 'er er, we're ok thanks, we're going now, we were just waiting for my wife'. I asked if they were sure and said I could leave the tray and they could just bring them empties back when they were done but they weren't thirsty, so I went back in, and the car promptly went.
