logging in for the 'stina albums' section?

Post by blue »

Alex, is there any reason why we have to log in to access the 'Stina albums' section of the board? I don't necessarily log in every time I browse the board, only if there's something I want to reply to, but I can't read that one section if I'm not logged in.

Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else is having the same problem. It seems a bit ironic that casual readers hitting this board in quest of Stina info can read everything on it except the section relating to her work. :D

some sections are available to registered people only.

But I know that you're far from my way
When I talk to the moon I can hear you
In the dark I can see, I can feel your light

Yes, but .... why that particular section, when they can browse everything else without being registered or logged in, is what I'm getting at? Why shouldn't people being directed to this board from a search for Stina info be able to read the section about her albums, when they can read all our wafflings about everything else under the sun? Seems odd.

I've just logged out and I see what you mean,Beth.


Maybe its Alex's attempt to get people to register just to see what we're saying about her albums? :wink: :lol:

I made my choices about sections and the board in general with reasons.

You chose to make that section unavailable to casual browsers? I assumed it was just something wrong with the way the board was working.

Well, your board, your choice, I guess. Seems strange to make that one section unavailabe to potential Stina fans/album buyers. If it is to force them to register, as Rob suggested, I'm curious as to why you haven't made the other Stina section unavailable also.

I'll just have to miss out on reading that section on days when I don't feel like logging in. :wink:

It may sound strange but I actually think it's a good idea.

Non-members can read most content which will give them a good background on what's going on but when it gets to the album section, her work in detail, then you have to sign up to know what's going on even more.

It work on me. That was one of the reasons I signed up.

to listen at all

You held your part
Of the deal"
