To start using the forums, you need to create a username and password. Then you can post and comment, as well as recieve messages about upcoming events (if you want).

1. Go to the forum page.

2. Under the blue box that says "FORUM" at the top, you will see two links: "LOGIN" and "REGISTER."

3. Click on "REGISTER."

4. Read the terms of use. If you want to proceed and register, click "I agree to these terms."

5. Decide on a username and put it in the box. This is the name that will show up when you post. Enter your email (twice to confirm), then enter your password (twice again, to confirm). Look at the picture under the "CONFIRMATION OF REGISTRATION." Type the letters you see into the space provided. This is a security measure designed to exclude robots and computers from the forum. Basically, you are proving you are human!

6. Click "Submit."

7. Go back to the forum page, and click "LOGIN." Proceed to enter your username and password.

8. You can now click on one of the forum topics in the FORUM box on the forum page. You can now comment and start new topics, called "threads."

9. Have fun!
