Hi, Is it possible to view forum threads without having to log in first. This may be have been intentionally done to block out unregistered viewers or I haven't worked out how to do it yet.

I would think that will make it difficult to recruit new members. Anecdotally it seems that many people (myself included) spent time reading the CCF forum before becoming inspired to join and contribute.
My other suggestion would be to have fewer subject headings so it is easier to navigate to any new posts.
But keep up the great work. Its good to have a truly Australian forum. At least here we wont be informed every 5 minutes that noodling is catching a catfish with bare hands. :laughingneqw:

It's done this way to keep the forum private. There are troublemakers out there who a lot of us want to keep out and not be able to even see what is going on.

Try using the "View Unread Posts" link at the top of the forum. I've been making use of it and it makes things a lot easier.

Haha :yahoo: There's a big difference between a trouble-maker and someone who has some different opinions to me. I'd like to think that differences of opinion will always be accommodated here (well, within reason at least).
trout is fun :yahoo:
You know I invited AJ when I invited a heap of other friends, but he hasn’t replied, should I give him another nudge.
Then you can really get the party started

Thats fair enough. But how are we going to attract new members? Will it just be a word of mouth thing?
For now yes, I would think so.
A suggestion to get out there faster is submit the site to Google, and Bing search engines, (your not showing up yet) it only takes a few minutes and you appear in the search pages within a few weeks, instead of waiting for Google bot to eventually find your site, this can take months.
If there is people on CCF I get along with and seem to be nice enough then I am happy to point them in the right direction.
Also invited people from local coin clubs and people who I have talked to about coins and have an interest in learning more.
