Some of you will be very pleased to see this up & running; www.freepowerboards.com/bcnumismatics .

Fred has a forum here; www.freepowerboards.com/worldcoins .If you are interested in an alternative to Coin Talk,or you are planning to abandon it in the same way that the rats abandon a sinking ship,then here it is.

Sorry. All I get is a log in screen. I don't register anywhere that you can't even see what it contains before registering. Good luck, though.
Stu Joe,the reason why you get that is because we had trouble with spammers posting while we were setting up our forums.Both Fred & I collaborate with ideas of running forums. You could go here; www.freepowerboards.com/coinlover or here; www.worldofcoins.eu . Aidan.
One other thing about having a log in page as the only page to show up. Unless you are doing something different for the search engines (such as google), you will never have any of your content listed and that will cut drastically into potential visitors.
I'm just saying be aware that google and other search engines that will index the threads on your site (if they could see them) can drive many, many people to find it.
Most search engines have a submit tool but it won't do you much good if all they see is a log in page. Won't be many search terms for them to archive there. Here's google's, though http://www.google.com/addurl/
