Whenever I logon there's always a lot of guests on this site and I mean a lot. So, guests here's a suggestion: Join the site, become a member and get to know a lot of people on this site. The more the merrier!

Believe me, I had asked Fraser about this once already...he said this was the norm: a few major members, some few-posting members, some one post or not at all, and hundreds upon hundreds of guests who pass through in the blink of an eye, though some like John L stay with us long enough to become a member.

It's true, I said it then, and I believe it to this day. Although it would be great if every guest signed up, it's just not realistic. People have their own reasons for wanting to stay anonymous. I know I lurk in lots of forums, and never get around to making a post.

Point taken, so Ive registered and this is my first (hopefully not last) post.

Oh and don't forget there are members who once in awhile forget to login

Cheers.

Way to go Saxton! Thanks for joining.

what are the little boxes and names under the pictures?

That's kinda like your rank. For every person you can see how many posts they have. Depending on how many you have that's the rank you get. You start of with a dust speck and i think when you get at least 10 posts you become an asteriod and get two boxes then after you get I don'y know how many posts you become a planet and gain another box and so on. By the way welcome the Universe Today!
