I’ve started this discussion to try and collect together any direct comparisons between CC and C&CC.
One mentioned several times is that C&CC charge deposits with bookings, whereas CC does not. In that same discussion, it was mentioned that the C&CC membership was larger than CC’s, which surprised me. Can anyone provide the stats?
What other factual differences can be identified?

When I realised that if you posted your full name would appear on your post I immediately contacted the forum admin. Their reply was that as its a members only forum they felt there should be no conflict in using full names which I suspect is well meaning but rather naive. I immediately replied saying that being a members forum is no guarentee of privacy and I said I would not be contributing whilst that was in place. In fairness it did seem that they might be open to change that if sufficient members expressd a view so might I suggest those that would like to join and take part contact forum admin expressing their concerns about using their own name.

...Its the "friendly club" so why would anyone worry about useing your name

I have also directly queried their security David, I don't think they have thought it through. If you sign in you are signed in to the whole web site, if you then go on to make a financial transaction I'd like to know how secure things are.

I agree. I really don't think they have thought this through. I have written again mentioning what you said about names appearing if only online. If enough people contact them they will soon realise they have a problem.

The aurgument that it is a membership area only, doesnt fill me with confidence. Unless I have assurances from google, then its pretty well open in my view. Also, if you want to use an avatar (most peeps do) then on the ccc forum you can only do this via gravatar which is part of wordress.com and it requires your email that is used on ccc to gain access. So in effect, you will have to pass on confidetial detail to a third party just to use an avatar. Not at all well thought through.

Another security warning about this new site! Last night I discovered your name is displayed in the "who is on line section" so even if you haven't joined and are just browsing your name is visible. I wont be browsing at all in future!
Msust admit I was surprised at this also, I didn't think anything would be displayed untill I had actualy agreed to join the forum, I haven't agreed to join, I was put straight through to the forum and then discovered that I was declared as being online,
not for me thanks, maybe in the future if blatent security issues are rectified. No doubt the ongoing situation will be monitored on this thread.....

I spotted the same thing this morning when I decided to have a quick look. So for me also, at least for the moment, I'm out!
BTW, presumably, your name only appears if you're looking at the forum and not if you're going on line to, say, book a site? Anyone know if that's correct?
