Hello Guest!
A guest is someone who is accessing the boards but is not logged into an account. We require you to register to start new threads but you may read and post in all open forums as a guest.
Registrering
Registering is the process of creating an account for a message board. You are considered a guest if you are not logged into a board.
What are the benefits of 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!).
- You get to know a lot of very nice people.
- You get Spacedock news through your e-mail.
- There are many more reasons to register, but there are just too many to list. We strongly encourage you to become a member of the Spacedock family.
How do I register?
On top of the page there is a Spacedock banner with some graphic links. Press the register link. You will then be transferred to a page where you enter your user name (which is what ever you decide) and a valid e-mail address. Read through the Proboards policy and accept the rules if you agree. You will then be emailed your password for your account.
Where is my password?
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.
Logging In
Once you have registered for an account and you want to access it, you will need to login to your account.
How do I log in to my account?
1. At the top of the board (in the Spacedock banner) you will find a graphic link that says "login" on it. Click on this link. On the next page you will be presented with a form where you can enter your username and password to login. Please remember that your username and password is case sensitive.
2. You may also log in by using the shortcut at the bottom of the index page, more specified in the Info Centre section.
How long will I stay logged in for?
By default, you will be logged in for 350 minutes (almost 7 hours). There is a checkbox on the login page that will set a permanent cookie allowing you to stay logged in longer than this. All you need to do is check the box when you are logging in on the login page.
I forgot my password
There is a link called Forgot password? where you log in. Press this and enter your username. Your password will then be e-mailed you. If this does not work then contact one of the administrators.
