"Protected?"

What does the (Protected) designation mean after the topic headers??? I am confused.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-06-04 AT 10:04AM (CST)[/font][br][br]It's just showing the type of forum (basically a security level). There are three kinds in this and most other board software, and we only use the protected setting.

Public - Posting without registration. Can view everything, as well.

Protected - Must register before posting, but can still view.

Private - Must be registered and a member of the particular forum in order to post or read messages.

Ah, okay, thanks. Just wanted to be sure I didn't enter a different "zone" than the general forum areas!

It also means that we are 'protected from ourselves' by big brother who resides in the software and decides what me mean before we know it ourselves and can snatch a thread sideways at will, just for our own good, mind you. x:-)

No, actually it means you cannot get pregnant while reading or posting in that forum area.

I made the mistake of reading an "unprotected" thread last year and we had our little girl the following July.

So, be careful.

Posting must mean something different in Cannon Beach than it does here in Nevada. I think I like your version better.

So THAT's where babies come from! x:D

Yep, James. Now you know.

Now, let me tell you something about Santa. But you better sit down first.

Did somebody complain about your disclaimer? It's missing...

But as I continue to read re LV's and maggief's plight, it doesn't mean "protected" from identity theft, e'ee advice seeking, or other such weirdness.x;-)

Paul in Cannon Beach,Thanks for the warning. I will be sure to stay away from those "unprotected" sites--just had a second baby myself last summer and don't really need to add another one to the mix just yet!

No problem. I wish someone had been there to explain the facts of life for me when I first came to this forum.

If this conversation continues with sexual inuendo and remarks relative to pro-creation and the joys thereof, I am hitting the alert button. Consider yourselves warned.
