Registration & Registration Failure -- a note to new users --

[peterp]

• Registration in general:

Important step -- always wait for the email sent by the registration system, then confirm it (the email address) after you received the request for automatic confirmation of the registered email. Trying to login before confirming this will result in registration failure.
It should not take more than a few minutes before the email arrives.

                                          -- REGISTRATION FAILURE --
One of the most common reasons for registration failure is non-confirmation of the registered email "before" you try to login for the first time. Your registration may be declined.

• To remind you: 

Please check the correct mail box!
If you subscribe with one email address but check another mail box for the confirmation mail this will not be working. Also check your trash box if the email requesting confirmation is not in the inbox.
Please note that trying to log in "before" your email is confirmed results in registration failure. In such a case try to register anew and follow the steps to completion. It should not take more than a few minutes before the mail requesting confirmation arrives.

Notes:
We do NOT collect email addresses or send you advertisements; the confirmation is required only once to prevent spam bots from registering; these bots usually do not confirm their registration address.
If you want to use a throw-away or other normally not used email address for registration it is up to you. However, you should still confirm that address this one time, even if you do not use it normally.)

Registration via VPN is currently disabled due to spambots trying registration using VPN. Please disable VPN temporarily for registration. It should be possible to access the forum with VPN activated afterwards.

  ******* If your registration fails due to a missed email confirmation, please register again.  ********


Note: This site does not except 'emails' as user name. No '@' in the user name, please!
