It has occurred to me, that perhaps some of our guests and fans have never used a "forum" before.
Here I will show you the steps to signing up.
Here I will show you the steps to signing up.
How to register!
Start on our main page: www.2hauntedforums.co.uk
You will see in the right hand corner, "Login or Register" if you are not already logged in (you will see your username if you are logged in, in which case, you need to do nothing more and you are free to post on the forum!).
If you do not have an account, click register. If you already have an account on our page, click login and enter your username and password.
To register, follow these steps;
1: You will need an email address (and access to that email address). Enter your email address correctly and click continue.
2: Enter your details, as requested. Your name is NOT a username, simply your real name.
Try to choose a "strong" password.
A weak password may be, for example: dorothy1 (especially if your name is Dorothy)
A strong password may be, for example: Terrapin1975
It contains at least one uppercase letter, lowercase letter and multiple numbers, and is not "easy" to guess.
3: The next page is where you choose your "username".
Your username is your identifier for logging onto the forum. You may find that the username you want is taken.
If you want your username to be "Dorothy" but someone has already signed up with that name, you may want to choose "Dorothy1" or perhaps something different such as "Dotty" or "DitzyDorothy". Be creative!
4: Next, you will have to enter a "code" as you see it on screen. This is simply a security measure, to make you are not a scam company trying to sign up to the forum using an automated system.
5: Next, you will be sent an email to "verify" your account.
This is to stop people trying to sign up using your email address without your permission.
You need to go into your email system, and there will be an email from ProBoards.
In this email, you will find a "code" that you can type, or copy into the "activation key" page. Alternatively, you can click the link entitled "click to activate".
6:Then you are ready to log in and use the forum!
