Impact of disabling visibility of URLs for non-logged-in users - ashwin - 07 December 17 A week ago, we decided to disable URLs from being displayed for non-logged-in users. This decision was made after the Staff held a discussion, and we decided to wait for 2 weeks before disabling the URLs. The impact has been very positive for the forum. In the past 7 days, as many as 93 members have signed up for Geeks.FYI. Sure some of them maybe (1 or 2 were) spammers and non-activated users. But we have seen frequent visitors logging in, and some people actually left comments on threads, or clicked "Like" for 1 or 2 posts. This is exactly why we made the decision. To attract more members, and to also encourage members to contribute to the forums. Thank you RE: Impact of disabling visibility of URLs for non-logged-in users - Dino101 - 21 December 17 And as at the 20th December 2017 we have 357 registered members! Well I guess "the proof is in the pudding" that this decision has had a positive impact. RE: Impact of disabling visibility of URLs for non-logged-in users - ashwin - 21 December 17 Indeed.
