How come we can't access the tech forum?
How come I (don't know about others) can't access topic in the tech forum or no bubles. Do we have to be some one special. Or is it only accessible by board members. I have sent a few messages to board members wondering how come it is off limit. And No answer? Maybe there is some top secret talk in the forum.
Want to go dive in Oregon. I can help. Biginner or experienced it doesn't matter.
want to do some underwater photography I will help if I can. I'm a dive Junky. Cold or hot.
I spear fish, night dive, deep dive. I do it all. Contact me.

Someone should make a sticky describing the various "hidden" opt-in selections and how to get to them

Opting in reinforces that point. This has been done succesfully on other board to prevent people from trolling subjects that are sensitive or controversial- "Hey, buddy, you CHOSE VOLUNTARILY to come in here and read stuff......" like that.spatman wrote:do we even need to opt-in? if people aren't interested, don't read it...CaptnJack wrote:Someone should make a sticky describing the various "hidden" opt-in selections and how to get to them

Or, people could read the fine print under "Technical Diving (opt-in):
This forum is for divers who wish to venture beyond the recreational limits of diving. Please gain access joining the "Tech Diving Opt-In" group via your User Control Panel.

I was under the impression that you can't see the opt-in forums unless you've opted in. You can see the parent "technical" even if you have not opted-into the sub-sections?

if you haven't opted-in you can see the forum and subforum, but can't access the posts/threads within them.CaptnJack wrote:I was under the impression that you can't see the opt-in forums unless you've opted in. You can see the parent "technical" even if you have not opted-into the sub-sections?
