Do I need to register?
No, it is not obligatory to register. It does however give you a number of advantages:-you do not need to fill in your name each time when you are posting a reply
-you can change and delete your own messages even after submitting
-there is a possibility to thick the 'Notify me when a reply is posted' box in the post reply screen. You will get an email now if someone enters a message in this topic.
-After logging in you can see if and in which topic new messages have been entered after your last visit. The
Posts button will turn orange 
if there are new postings since the last time you visited.
-It is possible to receive an email if a new posting appears in the topic you are interested in. This can be done by clicking the 'Watch this topic for replies' link at the bottom of the page. If you are already 'watching' a topic but you do not want to receive e-mails anymore, you can click the 'Stop watching this topic' link.
There is a disadvantage of registering as well. You have to log in twice; first to get to the discussion forum and secondly to log in into the forum with your own user name. This can be improved if you thick the 'Log me on automatically each visit' box in the log in screen. Now you only need to log in once.
How do I register?
This can be done by clicking the
register button (the upper right button). The first step is agree with the registration agreement terms.

After pressing the 'submit' button, you are a registered user and will receive automatically an e-mail to remind you of user namername and password.
