I'll ask him that. If he says yes, Vincent, I'll private message you to set up an account for him. And one question, can you trace the location of every computer that logs onto the Hab Forum and where it is located, Vincent? This is off topic, but Dr. Thirsk wants to make sure he has security. Do you know every Hab Forum username's computer ID? I know this is a weird question, and it's not me who wants to ask it........ 8O

He really needs to be the one to set up the account, as the software sends out an activation email which he must then replay to to activate his account.

As for security, you can tell him that (and you can just quote this):

While certain additional data regarding visitors to this board is generated, said data is:

1) available to myself and absolutely no one else
2) not of any particular use for malicious purposes
3) no more (and even less in some cases) than is available to anyone running any website visited by oneself during the course of a day.

So I do hope this will set his mind at ease.

Will it be okay if I activate the account for him? He doesn't want to give out his email. I will register for him using my alternate email.

He can register himself and select "No" to the option, "Always show my e-mail address" and it will be hidden from users.

He is hesitating, but he will get his own account and will be on either today in the afternoon or sometime next week. He lives in my city and our time is GMT-6 hours. I don't know if that's evening for you guys....... :)

Of course, I would like to apoligize for any trouble I have caused you, Vincent. It is of great importance to me that I know this is a safe and secure place to be.

And if it turns out I'm wrong, I would like to apologize in advance!

In the meantime, I cannot allow you to post just yet.

Thank you for your understanding.
