Friends, Contacts etc.

Confused about the difference between friends & contacts. Also unclear about visitors & registered users. Can someone please help/explain the difference? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Mama. :thumb:
I'll elaborate a little here:
Visitors see a blip on every page asking them to join NCT. I turn pictures off and on for them depending on what else is happening on the servers. So, sometimes they can view some of our pics, other times they cannot view any of our pics. We also have forums that only members can see, we call that the "Back Room". All members are welcome to join that group via their usercp. If they don't care for what they see they can uncheck it and never see that forum again. We allow things in the back room that are not appropriate for the general public.
As a member you can respond to posts. Visitors cannot reply to anything, or get PM's etc.
As a member you can get an email notifying you that a thread you were active in has a new response. You can also get an email saying you have a new Private Message (PM).
Lots of advantages to being a member vs a visitor.
Hope this helps explain a good portion of those reasons.
