We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

nice collection , i recall visiting the civil war battelfeilds in the early 60s , revolving around the various 100 year anniversaries , you could get those at the national park headquarters at some and gift shops at others , always wondered if folks hung onto them or post them , looks like you have a good number ,
ill repeat here as ive not said it for a while , i have never visited sites as beautifuly kept or reverantly presented as some of the battlefeilds in the south , while many of those to the north became commercialized the southern sites seemed more cemetary like , and well maintained , in keeping with the historical yet reverant places they are ,
i was most taken with mannassas but there were others that if memory were to cooperate would leap to the forefront , my least fond memory was gettysberg , it was far too commercial at that point in time , and the least stated that i visited was anteitam , in those days there were few markers and it seemed it was trying to be forgotten ,
we should never forget nor abandon these historic places , they must be presented , remembered , honored by both sides for both sides ,

sorry - you have a very nice collection , continue on that track , it is very interesting
