Click the "Register" link found in top-right hand corner of the forum you are visiting. This will take you to the registration page where you can begin to create your new account.

Once you've clicked the continue button, you'll be taken to another page which will request the following info:

If you discover that you've typed in your email incorrectly, you can use the "Change Email" link found in the top-right hand corner of the Email address box and will be able to update your email to the correct address.
Create Password: Here you will set the password that you want to use for your account. Type in a password that's at least six characters in length. Be sure to use a password that is not only secure, but one that you can remember in the future when you need to login to your account.
Verify Password: Type in your password again in this box. Doing this will ensure that the password you typed in earlier is the password you intended to use for the account.
