Beginning September 1st
Since this web site was redesigned earlier this year it has been open to anyone, registered or not, to leave comments and vote in polls. This has allowed hackers and spammers to interfere with what we are trying to do with the site.
It is important to note that this site will always be available to readers to see our news, read and download documents and to learn what the CIG is about. You do NOT need to be registered to read news stories or polls on the site or download items. These things will always be visible.
As discussed and agreed to at the August CIG meeting, beginning September 1, the web site will require anyone who wants to leave a comment or vote in polls to be registered and logged in. In the past these functions could be done as an unregistered, anonymous user. You can still leave comments anonymously or with another name by over typing your registered name when it is displayed in the leave a comment form. Polls do not show names or addresses of those who have voted.
Again, this will NOT affect the ability for unregistered users to read stories, look at comments or polls and download files.
Any registered user who has problems loging in or doesn't remember their name and password should contact the CIG at feedback@middleport-future.com. Anyone wishing to be registered should also contact the CIG at the same E-mail address. We need your name, address and the name you wish to use for your ID on the site. All information will be kept confidential.
