Title: FAO Admin
Post by: SidM on December 01, 2008, 04:47:17 PM: When sending a link to a post by email, it appears that the recepient can access it without having to log in. Does that mean porn can be posted in my name?

I don't understand the question.

So if you send a link to a non-member they can read it but cannot reply.
Some forums you can only non-member sections or none at all until you have signed up.
