I have had a few questions recently about not being to have access to the forums or the guestbook. Due to the many SPAMMERS out that are out there I must require registration for all users of the website. If I didn't have those restrictions, then there would be all sorts of posts concerning sexual related websites, pharmaceuticals, and many other things that I wouldn't want to see there. As it is, I still get a lot of accounts created for that purpose, but those accounts are quickly deleted.
The registration process is very simple and does not ask for very much information. It is there to protect the website as well as the "real" users. Here are some instructions on how to become a registered user:
On the left hand side of the screen, there is section labeled "Login Form". This is only located on the "Main Page" or the "index page". You will see "Username", "Password", "Forgot your password?", "Forgot your username?" and "Create an account". Please click on where it says "Create an account". That will take you to a screen with five blocks of information to fill out. They are as follows:
Name:Username:E-mail:Password:Verify Password:
Once you have entered that information, click on the button "Register".
Once you have registered, the system will automatically send an e-mail to the address that you gave us. In that e-mail, there will be a link that will look like the following:
Hello (Your Name),
Thank you for registering at The FIG Tree News. Your account is created and must be activated before you can use it.
To activate the account click on the following link or copy-paste it in your browser:
http://figtreenews.com/......................
After activation you may login to http://figtreenews.com/ using the following username and password:
Username: (Your Name)
Password: (Your Password)
Once you have clicked on that link, your account will be validated and you will have access to most of the items on the website. Unfortunately the On-Line Family Tree is a separate program and currently requires users to go thru another simple registration and approval process.
I hope this helps to clear up any misunderstandings about the website. I really look forward to hearing more from everyone soon and seeing if we can help you find some additional information about your Fenton line. |
