I'll check for you later on Timbo, can you tell me if its on profile comments or when you try to submit any comment? either it be on a group, profile etc. ? Have another go when you have a chance and see if its still the same.
Off out now on the bike!

nice day for it!!
Cheers

I am the founder of Biker book, there is no need for https on the signup page, we are not collecting very important information such as payment details, do all these forums you sign up to have it? I think not!
The site is in no way involved with facebook, its a similar site just for bikers.
Thanks to all who have joined, 600+ members now in the space of 11 or so days. There is still some work to be done to the site, as with all new sites, bits here & there will be soon fixed.
I must get back to my *shed* now though! that can be found at The springboard centre in Coalville centre ;)

it's a pretty big shed!
Cheers all!

Depends what you regard as important information.
I can always use a screen email address and I can fill in the info as I want to.
Like I said, its no less secure than anything else on the web really, but with FB's privacy controls and security - I can post much more stuff than I would be comfortable with posting on Bikerbook.
I know its not built to be a FB rival, despite obviously trading on the success of FB with the name and format, and is an excellent biker related portal.
As a portal page with basic information, its good. As a Facebook for bikers, its not up there yet. I hope it is at some point, cos that would be cool and I wish you every success with it.

Not exactly, I've spoke to programmers about it and they say its not needed unless you are taking payments/address's.
Check out Myspace, Face party, these both don't use https on signups, and they are worth hell of alot of £!
No website is 100% secure as you say, hackers are able to anything they want if their good enough!
Early days still anyway.
Cheers,

I agree, I'm not on Myspace either
I am watching Bikerbook with interest.
The not requiring all the fields filled out is very good.
I'm hoping as it gets established you'll add more functionality and user controls over who can view what in your profile.
I know there isn't all that much info there anyway, which is fine.
Very good to see you taking an interest too BTW.

Thanks, well its nice to know all opinions anyway.
I've made it so people have to sign up to view profiles and use the site, though the user has the option of making their profile private just to be viewed by friends etc. so thats quite alot of control over who can view their profile
Thanks
Tom
