The first time you want to login to this forum you have to use the Register button at the top right of the page (not the Login button). Accept the Terms and Conditions, add your email address, set your time zone, (the time and the area like Europe/London in the lower box), give your real name (hidden from non-members) and your reason for wanting membership. You will also see a question which requires a precise answer in the box (if you submit a wrong answer the page may reset with another question, if there is one). Then Submit the application.
After Registration EDIT: TEMPORARILY ACTIVATION WILL BE BY ADMINISTRATORS ONLY. We get an email after your submission and we will activate your account and you will get an email notifying that. (At some later stage we may change it so you receive an email and you have to click an activation link in the middle of the email which says "Please visit the following link in order to activate your account:")
After activation, for all future visits you use the Login button top right of the page.
Your first post(s) will be subject to approval (a safeguard against spammers) but if a moderator notices your new registration before you have made a post, the requirement for first post approval may be removed if you are deemed trustworthy.
