How to Register and Start Posting

[DazedOblivion]

Unfortunately, ProBoards does not make it a very simple process to sign up but please take a look at these directions. If you have trouble, send me a message at:

[e-mail]

Okay here is the process. These first steps are the easy part:

• Click the “Register” Button.
  
• Fill out the Registration Form (make sure you enter your email address right!)
  
• Read the Agreement and click the “I agree” radial and click “Create Account”.
  

Here’s the part that confuses some people:

• After you click “create account”, an email will be sent to you (at the email address that you gave.)
  
• This email subject line reads: Corrs Fan Base: New Account Created. Open this email.
  
• The email contains a ONE-TIME “activation key”, which is a series of about 20 letters and numbers that will look something like “izk5uwiazdcnurzzz2nr”. Copy this (in case it's needed).
  
• There will be a URL link within the New Account Created email that you can click that will take you to the account activation page. Click that link.
  
• You will be taken to a screen that says:
  
  Error: Please login to continue to the activation process.
  
  Don't worry about the "Error" part. That's normal. You will see your user name entered and a blank password box.
  
• Enter your PASSWORD (NOT your “activation key”) here.
  
• This will then take you to the activation page which reads:
  
  Please enter your activation key in the form below to activate your account. If you did not receive your activation key, then you can verify or update your email address and have a new key sent to you by clicking here.
  
  Activation Key: ___________
  
• Here’s where you will enter your activation key (if it’s not already filled in for you). Then click the ACTIVATE ACCOUNT button.
  
• After that, you have to WAIT until your account is approved by one of the administrators. (Sorry, but this is to keep out people that I recognize to be spammers).
  
• Once an administrator approves you, you will receive a second email telling you that you: Your account has been approved. You can now login to your account and access all of our member functions.Then FINALLY you can log in using your password and begin posting!
  

If you've done that, you've passed the test!! WELCOME!!!
