If for some reason you are unable to log in to the forum to view picture attachments or make a post, it means (generally) that you are not a valid registered member. If you tried to register with a REAL email address, you should have received a confirmation email from the software. When you open that email, you need to click the link confirming your subscription. At that point, you will be a valid registered member.
If you used a REAL email address and did not receive the confirmation email, you need to email me from the address you registered with. Any other address will be ignored. At that point, I will click the link for you.
A word of advice : If you use an email address that you rarely (or never) check, there is a very good chance your registration will stop working. Use an email address that you check regularly.
AOL Users - AOL has some funky stuff in their browsers that SOMETIMES makes it look like you are logged in when you really aren't. If you are having problems posting or viewing attachments as a registered member, the usual solution is to open a NORMAL Internet Explorer (Netscape, etc...) browser from your desktop, NOT the browser that comes bundled inside AOL...
Other possible problems - If you are using any kind of cookie munching software or firewall that blocks cookies being read, it's likely that you are not seeing picture attachments. The server needs to authenticate the cookie that shows you as a registered member.
Hope this helps in getting valid registered members able to post and see the picture attachments!

I get over 50 emails a day from people who can't get logged in to post or view attachments. This is a free forum and there is NO SUPPORT GIVEN. The MAIN reason people cannot see images or make posts is because they did not get the confirmation email and therefore did not click on it. What this means is....
GET A REAL EMAIL ADDRESS!
AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc....have a habit of blocking things they think are adult in nature. If you did not get a confirmation email IMMEDIATELY, you are never going to get it. Your choices are to get a real email address or a real ISP.
