Previously, the CoMSEF forums and a few other parts of the web site were only accessible to members after logging in to the site. This was done to preserve these features as "members-only" benefits. However, that limited the availability of this information and also made it a bit less accessible to members too. Therefore, the CoMSEF executive committee decided to make the forums, newsletters, and minutes public. Login will no longer be required for accessing them. Login is still required to make posts, comment on posts, vote in elections, etc.
