Have to agree with Ben. No contols except on the main page is to steer traffic there I understand. I can't say that it helps other than if you are just counting hits on the website. I don't look at anything on the page as I don't even wait for the page to load, I click on the log in as it is the first thing that comes up.

More of a hassle than anything and will likely keep me from posting unless I see something that really catches my attention or if something is directed specifically at me. I'll go back to being a lurker.
