The whole board is going to be revamped and that's what will take quite a bit of time. That was why the password protected thing was implemented. The opt-in part is only one small part of the whole upgrade.
I guess being an engineer / programmer and knowing what would/should be involved in "revamping" this site made me say that.
Take care, and I'll see the ones on the seafood fest trip for my last trip.
