Is the requirement to login to read posts going to be a permanent feature?
Would an administrater please explain the reasoning behind these changes.
As a matter of principle I do not like or want either of these changes as I do not want my internet usage monitored by anyone.

Had a cookie placed ever since I registered way back in 2000
Cookie = No logon required.

Nice one Daniel, all good now

See this has dropped to page 2 where there is a risk that someone from Admin might miss my very simple, and I suggest not unreasonable question.
I may not get an answer at all then!

Presumably you've never ticked the "remember me" box before.

Thank you for that WL, would never have thought to look there. At least you took the trouble to respond, a simple, short PM and /or announcement and explanation for the rule change below Admin's dignity perhaps?
"Keeps out the riff-raff" indeed, touch of the Basil Fawlty syndrome I suggest. Still, if I don't like it, as the man says in his usual modest manner, "You've got a mouse - if it really annoys you make us suffer and go elswhere".
I do hope this is not a suicide note but with recent history in mind I cannot be too confident, bearing in mind Lord Acton's maxim.

Am I only one that I get an intermediate screen to insert some computer generated characters after I inserted my password?

Know what you mean.
A real drag.
A bit like turning on the tap and water coming out, or flicking a switch and the light coming on.
Never know where I find the time

Well perhaps you're on a super-high-speed connection. For me, it's like turning on the tap, and then having to go and adjust the stop-cock in the garage outside, before the water comes out.
At least the first page didn't have too much in the way of boring sarcasm...
