Registering as a member of the forum

The registration process is simple, but on this forum all memberships must be validated by the administrator.

To register follow these steps ...

  1. Go to Register button on the main menu or "Register" on the right of the login panel.
  2. Fill in and submit the form. You need to provide a login name, password and a valid e-mail address. You must also tick the box to say that you accept the membership agreement.
  3. An e-mail message is sent to the address you provided. This contains a link that you go to while online to verify your address.
  4. The administrator is notified that your membership is awaiting validation.
  5. If the administrator recognises your login name or e-mail address he may validate your membership straight away and send you a welcome message. He may also do this if you appear to have used your real name as a login name (use underscore instead of space).
  6. If your login name and address are not recognised the administrator may ask you to confirm your identification, location and interest in the forum. Once you have done this your membership will normally be approved.
  7. Once your membership has been validated you will be able to log in post to the forum.

If at any time you wish to leave the forum you can go to the Member Centre and remove yourself.

The administrator can also remove you on request or if you violate the terms and conditions of the membership agreement, for example by posting offensive material. This may be done with or without warning.
