Simplified Access to Members-Only Information

[rushmere]

A few parts of the site (such as the Copen Owner's Manual) are only available to copenworld members.

These areas were previously protected by a username and password. However, this has been causing a fair amount of confusion, so I've now simplified and improved the method for accessing these areas.

You will now automatically get access to these areas so long as you have been registered on the site for at least one day and have posted at least one message on any forum.

So long as you are logged in, you will see any content which is available only to members. This improved method of dynamically displaying different content to different people will allow the site to be developed further in future to deliver information and services exclusively to registered members.

Yes, sorry about that, I was making some fairly fundamental changes to how the pages get displayed, and it took about half an hour to get all of the changes uploaded onto the site. While I was in the midst of making the changes, a lot of the site wasn't visible.

Hopefully it's all back to normal now. Let me know if there are still any problems. :o
