I just wanted to acknowledge up front- I am a total newb when it comes to running these forums..
So, if you're desperately trying to take part in a conversation here, but you have no ability to post (but you are a registered user) please send me an email or a PM, and we'll fix the permissions right away.
Also, if you notice a feature that you've used at other forums, that you feel like we should have here, let me know- I will see about turning that feature on!
And as always, your feedback and suggestions to making this a better forum/website are most welcomed!
**EDIT** I should mention: so far, all registered users can post in all boards, except for this NEWs board- which is dedicated to putnamelectronics news and messages like this. New users/guests can read, but will need to register to post/PM people, etc.
