That's always been the great conundrum of any Forum. With this one, I know that many people like to sign up and be a member just so they can view the photos in the Gallery. Others, like local business owners, like to read the posts but wouldn't wish to post themselves.
The bit about local business owners not using the forum more has often puzzled me. I would have thought it would be an ideal opportunity to promote their business. I suppose it is the wish to stay annonymous?
When I started the thread, "room with a view" I imagined lots of hotel and apartment owners putting photos of their letting rooms. There must be some fantastic views from the 3 towns establishments.
