    Why is it that every time I look at the online list of who is on it says 3 or 4 members but 30 to 40 guests..are these guests members who don't want to be seen?..or potential members?this aint facebook..you can show your self..

    Personaly,i think people pop in occasionally without logging in
    to catch a few juicy bits then pop off again- no one the wiser. ;) .

    or its just people looking for stuff like why doesn't my ped run or why is it slow... but people who aren't particularly interested in signing up.

    i used to look on here and read about things all the time but never signed up, now ive bought another scoot i thought it made sense to become a member and then i can ask questions and actually post things, and if i can help anyone out i sure would, thats what these forums are for :)

    I agree with Mark, people just have a look to see if their problem is here or not, then disappear somewhere else.
    I do it as well

    I joined up immediatiatly from day 1 as I thought (an still do!) -
    that this is the coolest thing i've seen in years,
    Never visited without logging on / fail to see the point myself.

    I have a little program on this mainframe that automatically logs me into any site i become a member of, it's called Last Pass.
    Cracking little program, take for instance, Ebay, you have a user name and password, every time you go there you have to log in, remember your sign in name, remember your password, and if like me you have multiple sites that you visit, and multiple different passwords,(because you dont want all your passwords to be the same now do you,) then you can get LastPass to generate a new completely encrypted password and it will log you in automatically every time. All you have to remember is your one master password to LastPass itself.
    The other thing is that nearly all the 'normal' websites that we all visit will not accept passwords that have things like these in the password for your account:- ! " £ $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + = { } [ ]
    What LastPass does, it can generate a new password for you and assign it to the account, but it CAN use these symbols as part of your password and they are accepted by the vendors sites.
    For instance a password like, my name, Stevep, could be 5T3v39, (dont worry i will never use this) (not now anyway) but if you ask lastpass to generate a new one it could look like this: !t/U*5%BsA.

    G.f,s son uses a phone style key board as a number reference and types the site as his password using the numbers as letter..bit confusing for me.
