**Important information from the forum admins:**

1. From now on (Jan 5, 2020), [forum.igdore.org](http://www.onscienceandacademia.org) is possible to **read** without being logged in. To **write** you’ll still need to login. If you’re not logged in and you click “reply”, a box will appear asking you to login / sign up. Login / sign up can of course still be done with Twitter, GitHub, and Google, as well as with an e-mail address.

2. If you are a member of one of the private/hidden groups on the forum, then rest assured your privacy remains intact. Private/hidden groups remain hidden from anyone who is not part of it; it is not possible for a non-member of the group to even see that the group exists.
