Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
I think it should say Calgary plus Canada! Somewhere...
And can we ditch the birthday requirement for registration? I always lie, and I always wonder what the hell does anyone need that for. It's a security risk. You should never answer that.
Updated the text throughout the site to reflect Calgary more prominently. Going to leave the logo for now, but I hope we can get something more professional made anyways.
Thanks Mphenley, having some troubles with the domain stuff. Will leave it at sa-hobbymachinists.com for now. Probably best to focus on the smaller area anyways.
Changed the sa-hobby-machinists links to canadianhobbymetalworkers.com to reduce any confusion. Shouldn't affect site functionality, and sa-hobby-machinists should redirect to the canadianhobbymetalworkers forums anyways
Added Google Authentication functionality. (It's asking for access to circles, but doesn't actually post to them. Investigating how to remove that sharing, as I don't think it should be required, but do like Google login)
Made Post reply box visible to all users (even those not logged in.) And Added a hover overlay for non logged in users: http://screencast.com/t/1vqxZZuw
You may have a new trophy for making your second post, even though that was awhile ago. Haha
The changes made make it easy to see if a user is making his very first post by virtue of a "brand new user" level. This should switch to "new user" after a second post is made.
