Why Register? And How to Register

WHY REGISTER?
1. Contributing to this board: The most obvious benefit of registering is that you can contribute to discussions on this board. Without registering you will only be able to read what other people say. There is of course no obligation to contribute just because you are registered.
2. Easy viewing of new posts: When you are logged in, any thread in which new posts have been made since you last visited is highlighted with an orange icon. Click on the orange icon and it will take you straight to the first post made since then. This saves searching for posts you haven't yet read.
3. Private Messaging: Every user can be contacted by Private Message (PM). PMs can only be seen by the sender and recipient and are therefore a useful way of communicating with an individual user out of sight of the public forum. PM is a little like email, but the message is stored on this board instead of arriving in your email inbox. You can be alerted of the arrival of new PMs by email, and/or a popup when you next visit the board.
HOW TO REGISTER
Click on the 'Register' link at the top of this screen and fill out the form. You will need to give a valid email address and wait for your registration to be confirmed. It's as simple as that.
NOTE: some new users have not been receiving emails confirming that their registration has been accepted. This may be because of spam filters at the user's ISP. If you haven't received a confirmation email within three days of registering, try logging in anyway using your username and selected password. If that doesn't work, email mgormez@chello.nl.
