registration requirements for posting
Hello.
I was just googling a problem and came across your forum. I found a post by another user whose question was unanswered (regarding Linux network interface aggregation). I know the answer, and I can help them.
However, your system requires me to register and log in to post.
I am not willing to do this. As a result of your must-register-to-post policy, you are putting your site and its members at a disadvantage, as I'm sure there are lots of others with knowledge to share but who simply wish to impart their knowledge and leave, rather than sign up to a community.
Having anti-spam (capcha questions etc) measures should be enough for users to post anonymously. What's the difference between signing up, posting, and deleting my account, compared to leaving a single anonymous post? Other than the effort for me - which I am not willing to endure.
I hope you take this into consideration next time you review your posting policies.
Thanks,
Idris D Wilkinson,

unpost_menu
post(3MENU) post(3MENU)
NAME
post - write or erase menus from associated subwindows
SYNOPSIS
#include <menu.h>
int post_menu(MENU *menu);
int unpost_menu(MENU *menu);
DESCRIPTION
The function post_menu displays a menu to its associated subwindow. To trigger physical display of the subwindow, use refresh or some
equivalent curses routine (the implicit doupdate triggered by an curses input request will do). post_menu resets the selection status of
all items.
The function unpost_menu erases menu from its associated subwindow.
RETURN VALUE
These routines return one of the following:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
System error occurred (see errno).
E_BAD_ARGUMENT
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
E_POSTED
The menu has already been posted.
E_BAD_STATE
Routine was called from an initialization or termination function.
E_NO_ROOM
Menu is too large for its window. You should consider to use set_menu_format() to solve the problem.
E_NOT_POSTED
The menu has not been posted.
E_NOT_CONNECTED
No items are connected to the menu.
SEE ALSO
ncurses(3NCURSES), menu(3MENU).
NOTES
The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>.
PORTABILITY
These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
