Many of you thought that guest posting should have been disabled much earlier. Regardless, I have finally disabled guest posting as of now. Guests can still read the forums, however, to start new threads, reply, upload pictures, etc.. you must be a registered member.

I'm sure many guests who post once in a while lurk the forum day in and day out. We welcome all guests and lurkers to become members. It is very simple to register. After registering, you will find yourself lurking even more, posting more, and becoming more addicted.

Don't forget to tell all your friends about our community!

If a dealer posted as a guest before and wishes to remain anonymous, why wouldn't they register with a name that doesn't divulge who they are and continue to post?

i know what you mean, rudy. but i'm sure some are too lazy to do so . you won't be able to tell how lazy/bad they are if you have a good dealer. don't ask me why i know .

I have been waiting for this for a while.

Thank you



Now is there a way when they register that we force them to put in a location. Most newbies do not realize how important this is. The E60 market is so diverse with so many different options and restrictions. location is key.

I tried to do that but the registration process is so complex in the source code and all I didn't want to break it. Supposedly it will be possible to add this field and require it in IPB 2.1 so that should hopefully be available in another month or two.

Location, location, location.

At least this will keep the trolls or haters at bay.

Lomag, how about adding email like RF?

What do you mean? Are you talking about something more than the PM feature?

I was thinking about setting up an @e60.net email service many months ago but the integration between the two programs I wanted to use is no longer possible and there haven't been any updates since. Maybe one day...
