You now have the ability to register on TCT and prove your responsible enough to be able to post serious and relative topics on the main site. By registering, you will be able to pick a user name that you will use each time you comment, as well as, have your comments posted immediately and be able to edit your comments. You may also get to the point of being able to post on the main site.
I have also added an open forum for those that just want to post and comment outside the rules of TCT. This I think will better serve everyone in that it will provide a place for both types of users, as well as topics. That way the main purpose of the site can be utilized fully and you can just completely ignore the open forum if you choose.

I have added a new login widget to the sidebar that will make it easier to login and keep you on the site instead of sending you to the Dashboard/Profile page. I have also added a “Who’s Online” widget in the sidebar to tell you how many are online. I have installed a like/dislike ability for comments. There is also a contact form to make it easier for users to send me an email; it is located across the header.
