    Nag Nag Nag

    Hello obvious it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks, why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution or just engage in a conversation with another member in any one of our forums?
    Must admit that before clicking on my hexus bookmark I think "the damn thing is going to nag me" so half the time I dont even make it to the site.

    Can this be turned off in an option somewhere? I know what it's designed to do but it's getting on my nerbs.

    Playing devil's advocate here a bit but wont you get a bunch of lurkers like myself just posting frivolous 'me too' or other pointless messages just to get rid of the nag? It also seems to undermine the Scan discount requirements (last time I read the thread on that :O)

    The requirements for the Scan offer are that you remain an active part of the community - therefore it actually assists people to remain a part of that offer.

    We do have the ability to see who is using the service but not posting as part of the community and those people will not qualify for the Scan shipping discount.

    The system is there to try and get you to participate - if you use the Scan offer then you should be grateful for it, especially as looking at your post history you are not adhering to the posts required for the Scan offer

    I'll contribute when appropriate. If it falls within the 'spirit of participation' Scan rule then so much the better. This long time lurker cant change his spots easily

    One of the problems is that with the level of knowledge here it's often redundant to reply to a thread when a concise/accurate/well reasoned response or three have already been posted.

    Ah well, that's enough from me for now

    I also would like to say that I think the nag is a wee bit annoying. Making up a question or finding/creating some random conversation as the bright orange banner suggests wouldnt exactly make for quality on the forum.

    Never really notice it TBH. However in my case I have to admit that the nag for me was perfectly correct as I've been registered since Dec 2003 and have only posted 16 odd messages! I think it's because I forgot I was regsistered....
