Direct links to the forum no longer works.
This is not good publicity for the yarold forum.
We have a number of welcome messages whit a link to a specified location in the forum.
now you can only read in the forum when you are logged in, that means the links in my welcome messages dos not work anymore.
that means i will not send my new members to the forum, so the forum is worthless for new yarold people.

I fear, the new members have to register in the forum first and I really hope, they'll do that.
I know the rule:"No links in the shortnotes", but links to this our forum should be allowed and they should work...

Links in your short note to the forum are allowed. Having members login to see them shouldnt be an issue & if you actually visit the forum regularly, you will see if they have been here to read the threads you post.
Ferrari, publicity of the forum is not a priority at all. Your comment about you not sending new members that join your dynasty to the forum is your issue & a quick look at your dynasty shows that they are all VIP members anyway. Those members that werent VIP that have joined you were kicked for inactivity or no links, so I fail to see what they might miss by not spending 1 minute to register for the forum & 5 seconds to login to it. As for the forum being useless to new people I disagree totally. There has been more members register this month alone than the last 2-3 months combined. So, I would hazard a guess & say its obvious more people care & register than you believe
