Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

BOI Button on User Posts
With all the recent posts about users not researching a buyer first or having no knowledge about the BOI in general, I thought maybe I could make a suggestion.
At the bottom of every post made by a user are a set of buttons linking to the Ads and Gallery of the user. Why not create a button that, when clicked, runs a search in the Board of Inquiry for the name in the users profile. You will come up with dud results just like you do when running a search manually, but it will short cut for those who aren't very forum savvy.
In reality, it's really only a minor line of code and really shouldn't be a huge expense for Rich to implement (if he likes the idea).

I was just thinking of something similar:
Showing the number of BOI threads shown along with the other information, and better yet, have them linkable.

Well, I'm not thinking about anything that complex...Mostly because the cost of that would be much more then what I'm suggesting. Basically what I'm looking for is just a button next to Ads & Gallery buttons that runs a search in the BOI for the name listed in the profile. Pulling multiple statistics and outputting the data, from a coding standpoint, would be a PITA...Not to mention additional strain on the servers. A simple search button wouldn't be so hard to implement.

Well, I'll give this some thought. But I hope you all know that keyword searches can be real particular about spelling and the words actually searched for. So this would only work in cases where people would use the name in the profile for when they posted BOI threads. Perhaps my programmer can utilize the search function already within the site, as I believe it does have a bit of "fuzzy search" capability built in. Just not sure how "fuzzy" it is, however, and how useful it will be in this sort of application.
I guess my concern would be a mismatch in spelling might lead someone to erroneously believe there was nothing about the person they were looking for on the BOI. Of course, it could help provide disincentive for people already looking shady on the BOI from posting in the classifieds at all, so maybe the tradeoff would be fair....

Could you have your search function search the posters name? (Or is that what you were talking about)

Yes. I assume it will use the name in the profile field. The problem can be more easily understood by glancing at the BOI and seeing the number of threads that do not have the person's NAME in the thread title line. Or the name may be different from the name in the profile if they have an account here. Computers are VERY literal in keyword searches unless sophisticated routines are employed to make them for cognizant of spelling differences and close enough matches.

Yeea, I get it now. And I'm guessing what DAND suggested would have legal ramifications due to possible loss of business and you could get sued. Correct?

Can you open the tags back up so that the posts could be tagged with the person's user name, legal name & if applicable business name?
