you get to make this post?
Had the forum not recognized you, you would have been asked to log in or join. Seems that you already have a forum cookie on your computer.
So many times, before I log on, I will click a link on CNet's pages and be taken to a page that extols the virtue of CNet membership, but has no links to a log in, a place to register or even a place to scratch my butt. With all the smart IT people, all the smart Editorial people and all the smart writers at CNet, one would think someone there would notice this glaring and very irritating fault. I swear, if I didn't like the forums themselves so much, I'd cancel my membership. Maybe CNet has so much bandwidth they like wasting it on this garbage. And I can't find anywhere to talk to a web master on the sites. If I could find a CNet poll somewhere to voice my opinion of their sites, I'd sure fill it out.
