What is the rationale for not having one global registration applicable to all of the CPG website instead of separate registrations/activations for the price guide section and the forums section?
A while back I became a member via CPG 2.0 to see if there were any improvements in the price guide spreads compared to version 1.0. In the process I discovered an error in version 2.0 and decided to report the error in the CPG Beta Q&A forum which is the forum that we are directed to from the link in CPG 1.0.
Now since I was already logged on in the main CPG site I intuitively thought that my logged on status would accompany me over to the forum. Well, that`s not the case.
When I tried to post my report I was instructed to login or register first. So I entered my login/pass info again but was informed that it wasn`t in the database. So I assumed that I needed to wait a couple of days for every facet of the system to be updated. Nope. Several days, weeks later, I still couldn`t login to post the error report in the forum.
I considered registering a second time but the Rules posting says not to register multiple accounts. I fired off an email to Shadow asking what's the procedure but never received any feedback from him. (Reminded me of the time years back when I sent an email report to Bryan and never heard back from him either.) 
Well, this week I bit the bullet and registered/activated a separate account for the forums section so that I can report the error that I had discovered months ago to the CPG Beta Q&A forum.
Quite the ordeal just to provide some feedback. If it is feasible, Bryan, you should consider creating a bug reporting forum, like CPG Beta, open for posting messages by everyone, including unregistered guests. Just a thought.
Now onwards to my next post at hand...

| Yes, they are two separate registrations. The forum software is a different platform. However, you should not need two separate registrations between CPG 1.0 and CPG 2.0.

It says Robbie is already there, but doesn't like my password or email.
Guess someone stole my name...

Bah humbug!
A programmer could potentially create a script that would import the list of new members from one platform into the list of members in the other platform and vice versa at a fixed interval of say a 24-hour cycle.

Sounds like ol' Snipe is asking for a job there, Shadow.
Explain the pay scale to him so he gets the gist.
Where does he get those wonderful toys!
I have yet begun to surrender.

Nah, I came up with a plan of action. My work is done.
Honestly, I thought that CPG had an in-house programmer. But seeing that's it's been over a week now since I reported the CPG 2.0 error in the Beta forum below but the mistake is still there as soon as a user logs on to view a price guide chart, I guess I thought wrong.
Maybe I need to go and highlight the post with an icon in case it was overlooked.
