Oh, and I once suggestested that guests see "trace this thread" but that it goes to a page listing the benefits of membership?

I see what you mean, but I think it would annoy some guests and members when not using their cookies. --Jeff

And can it be a little more apparent that joining is free? Most sites that say stuff like "membership has its rewards" make you pay for the rewards. I didn't actually join until LH and flattop told me it was free...

Good idea. --Jeff
