I am also thankful for this site. I may not post much, but I almost always read the information in the posts. Many people have helped me throughout the years, and for that I am grateful.

Can put a short message stating the above in ALL CAPS as part of membership confirmation page which is shown after registering.
And/or add it to any auto email sent too.
Or state so, on registering page.
Till you have time to fix the code. Also might ask them to empty cache/cookies if that has any effect.

Hear, hear! This is a forum that is both genuinely useful (having helped me find tools that I now use daily) and is remarkably free of trolls.

Thanks for the warm appreciation and may I say happy new year’s to all! I’m quite happy to provide this forum, as it has been an invaluable resource to me, is one of my favorite groups, and really has little to do with me. Thanks to everyone for being polite and keeping things on topic 99% of the time.
