Not sure what section to post this in but just out of interest can anyone tell me if this forum is only open to UK residents? I ask because I met a foreign guitarist recently who said that he tried to register on here a couple of years ago and said he couldn't.

    Yes.  I can tell you.

    And so could any of the non-UK residents that we have here as members.

    the usual problem is not spotting the sign-up email in the spam folder ....
    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    Ah that might explain it. Why does foreign emails end up in spam folder though?

    It's not foreign emails specifically - the cause of most "I couldn't sign up" problems is because the attempted joiner didn't see the sign-up email and so didn't reply to it to confirm their membership.  Because the email ended up in their junk mail folder.
