Welcome to an upgraded NASA Watch. Besides sporting a new design, minimalist in it's look, there are several new features.
Most notably we have a new registration system. We no longer allow anonymous postings. If you want to comment you have to register. However that doesn't mean you can't be anonymous to our readers. If you don't want people to know who you are just pick an obscure user name. You control what information is displayed with your posts.
You'll find that each article now has Print and Share functions. The Share functions are provide by ShareThis an excellent service for sharing content with colleagues and friends.
Inevitably with all upgrades there are sometimes issues. If you a registration or login issue then please post a comment here. If you're looking for a solution to a particular problem you might find it here.
You can always email us issues at srmtadmin@spaceref.com. We'll try to get back to you in a timely fashion.
You can also sign in using an OpenID, TypePad, Vox, Yahoo or Google account or the native SpaceRef Network login.
