Rob Person Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I realize that there is probably a reason behind it. And I know they are 2 separate sites. (Forums and main/blog sites) But it becomes cumbersome having to enter my username and email for every blog reply. Is there a way for forum members to avoid this? A way to login so that our topic replies show as us (just like the forums do) BallsLeon, P Mitch, Dead Solid Bogey and 1 other 3 1 Quote WITB-Foremost 551's - 3w, 5w, 5-SW (circa 1998), Top Flite 460cc Driver, Adam's 7w, Warrior GW and 60⁰, Odyssey AI-One DB putter.

GolfSpy_APH Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Unfortunately there is not. It runs on a separate platform and many comments are processed and need approval before showing up. Same goes for when I post there. I can ask, but as this runs on an entirely different platform I don't believe there will be a way for their system to recognize who is a member and who is not.

Is it safe to assume the reason that it is like that is to reduce how much traffic each has at one time to not overload the site?

I imagine it's quite a task. I guess I'm grateful that we don't have to use captcha there at least... But I would think with forum members being mostly verified, it would eliminate that bit spam quite a bit too Edited February 9 by Rob Person Quote WITB-Foremost 551's - 3w, 5w, 5-SW (circa 1998), Top Flite 460cc Driver, Adam's 7w, Warrior GW and 60⁰, Odyssey AI-One DB putter.

Tsecor Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Please dont take this as hate, but ive been a member here for quite some time and traditionally have loved this site more than other sites. It was DIFFERENT....this site brought a new and exciting way to learn and talk about the world of golf from an equipment standpoint. The ball labs and ball testing obviously put the golf industry on notice and the follow up testing was amazing........since then, the site has really changed and really taken a turn for the worse. The site layout is really bad......this needs to be changed....the formatting is all wrong, the pictures are SO BIG and in your face, its hard to concentrate on anything. If you are to spend $$$ on anything, it would be to hire a web site design expert The forums being a different site is really annoying. The forum set up is ok, but could use a refresh and formatting updates so it flows The articles have gone downhill. I don't understand some of the "articles" being written as they seem to be sales ads more than anything else The ADS in the middle of a testing article are really annoying. You just get into reading about a certain ball, and a huge picture of a driver pops up or a pair of shoes.....its really annoying. The ball labs are great but the way you grade and present the information is very confusing......the nomenclature is very confusing to the average reader. I think MGS has seen its peak and unfortunately is headed in the wrong direction. Many people have left the site and it definitely has taken a turn for the worse. Even the podcasts have gone in the wrong direction. Tomny comes off as a know it all arrogant guy while Chris comes off as a really nice guy but seems to have to play the part of the clown and 2nd fiddle to Tony......I feel bad for him. The positives of the podcast is the information you present. while it could be presented in a more exciting fashion, the info is solid I used to love MGS but now its hard to find information, its a site for selling products more than anything else and the layout is really really bad. Its not a site that is visually appealing at all. Quote Golf is cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main website and forum separation is pretty common for any site that has both. the biggest of them off is that way so it’s not something unique to mgs.
