[shadow=red,left,300]Registering FAQ[/shadow]
Registering
Registering is the process of creating an account for a message board. This board requires that you register in order to make posts. You are considered a guest if you are not logged into a board.
Q: Where is my password?
A: When you register, you must enter a valid email address. You will then be emailed your password for your account, which will be randomly generated. You can then login to the board and change your password to something else on the profile page.
Q: What are the benefits of registering?
A: There are many benefits to registering. By registering, all posts you make will automatically have your name filled in. You will be able to see which posts are new (there will be a marker next to posts that says "NEW"). You can get email notification of replies to your posts. You can send private messages to other members. Also, no one will be able to post using your name (you can "secure" it so that no one else has it!). There are many more reasons to register, but there are just too many to list. We strongly encourage you to register for any board you want to be active on.
Q: What is this profile thing?
A: Every registered member has a profile. In your profile you can choose how your name is displayed, change your password, set your email address, change how the time is displayed on the forum, set your own time zone, create a signature, and much more.
Q: What is a signature?
A: A signature is something that will be displayed at the bottom of every post you make. You can change your signature on the profile page.
