How to register to use forum.linearcollider.org.

The web site forum.linearcollider.org hosts discussion forums on a variety of subjects related to the International Linear Collider (ILC). The discussion forums are set up so that anyone can read them without needing to register or login. However before you can post new messages, or reply to existing messages, you must create an account for yourself by registering with the web site. This is necessary to prevent spam being posted to the forums. The process is very simple, and is explained below.

Step 1

Using your web browser, go to the registration page, which you can access by clicking the link below:

http://forum.linearcollider.org/index.php?t=register&rid=0&reg_coppa=0

or by clicking on the "Register" link at the top of forum.linearcollider.org and agreeing to the rules of the forum. You will be presented with the form shown below. You need only fill in the part of the form under the heading "Required Information". Note that you must:

• Beside "Login:" choose a username you will use for logging in to the forums in future. This username should contain only letters and numbers.
• Enter the same password in the field labelled "Password:" and "Confirm Password:". The password must be at least 6 characters long. This password is not encrypted so you should not use the same password you use for signing in to you university or lab computer accounts.
• Use a valid e-mail address. You will receive a confirmation e-mail at this address which you must read and respond to.
• Beside "Name" enter your full name
• Enter the ASCII code into the field where requested (aemx) in the example below. This is again necessary to prevent automated spam "robots" from accessing the site.

The information below the heading "Optional Information" can all be ignored and left unchanged. Finally click on the "Register" button at the bottom of the page.
