Step by Step instructions on how to register and signup.

For those of you who would like to become a part of our online community, you will need to register an account before you can interact with others on the boards. Here is how to get started! If at any point you are having difficulty getting your account setup, please post a message here. Please remember you must use a valid email address or else you will not be allowed to register.

Step #1

Starting from the homepage or the message board, go to the top left of your screen in the top toolbar and click where it says register.

Step #2

You will be asked to provide a user name, a valid email address and a password.

The user name and password will need to be entered every time you want to "log in" to the message board as a member. You cannot respond to posts, start topics, read/send emails and private messages if you are not logged in.

We use the email address to send you a confirmation that will complete the registration process (more on that later). You will not receive unsolicited e-mails as we do not give your email address out to any third parties. You will, though, be automatically signed up for our bi-weekly newsletter. Once registered, click here to learn more.

Step #3

Make sure you read the user agreement, and when you are done, click the "I agree" checkbox, and then click the register button. If you can see the register button but are unable to click it, that means you left out some registration information (like your user name or password) or you did not click the "I agree" checkbox.

Step #4

You should get a message letting you know your registration was successful, BUT YOU ARE NOT FINISHED!

Step #5

You will receive an email from us sent to the email address you provided. You must click the link inside the email to activate your account! If you do not receive an email in your inbox after 10-15 minutes, check your spam folder(THIS IS COMMON). Sometimes if you have a strict spam blocker it might interpret your registration email as spam. If it is not in your spam folder, and you haven't received it after say 20 minutes, feel free to contact us here

Step #6

After you've clicked the confirmation link to activate your account, you can login as a registered member, however we do have some rules that you must follow as a new member. See our rules here, and look for Rule #15 "General Forum Posting Rules". The rule process is to prevent spammers from registering here and we are protecting you as a new member.

Step #7

After clicking the login button you will be prompted to enter your username and password. Then click "login." You also have the option to choose how long your account is logged in on the message board. If you click "always stay logged in," then every time you come back to our website you will still be logged in as a member and you won't have to re-login again.

Remember, you don't have to be logged in to read our message board, but you do have to be logged in to post messages, start topics, send and receive private messages and emails, and use many of the other features on this messageboard.

That's it!!! You're now officially a member, no go introduce yourself here!
