Where has DIY on HT Guide gone?

[Ian J]

I haven't been there for a while but had 'mission possible' bookmarked. Tried it tonight and couldn't find it - seems to have disappeared? Boardreader can see threads but I can't access any of them (though I don't have an account there). Is it members only, or have they stopped diy forums? If so can the archives be accessed?

Ahhh - discovered why

A bit of searching other threads there reveals you need to have account to see 'speciality areas' such as DIY. But if you can't read a forum before you sign up how do you know it's any good - or even exists?

Heh, just noticed this today.. thanks for the explanation. I've got an account at HT Guide but I'm pretty sure you used to be able to see it without being signed in?

 

[Ian J]

Yes, you definitely could see all forums without being signed in previously - I didnt have an account at all until now. The reason given is to encourage people not just to lurk but to participate -I'm thinking perhaps advertising revenue is related to number of account holders on a site...

Hi,

"Mission Possible" is not on this site, its here : HTGuide.com, and
they have changed their policy so now you need to log in to see it.

rgds, sreten.
