Can you guys make the "What calculator do you own?" Field, required to fill in upon registering? I noticed that alot of people still aren't filling it in-or just don't care to.

Just curious . .

Why would you want that? I don't really care what calculators they own.

Not everyone who comes here may actually own a calc. This is an optional field anyway, even though quite a few forget to mention their calc model when asking questions. Our goal for the registration was to make is as fast an painless as possible. Thus, only the most important fields are asked there and everything else is optional. The only field I may consider changing to required is timezone.

Painless is better. Many sites have about 20 requierd forms you have to fill out. The longer it is, the less new users we get...

I know, but we could make one of the fields "no calculators owned". Besdies, it's not that hard.

Aslo, it would really help to answer some of the questions where alot of people don't mention their calc.
