Before you use the Forum you must register. You will receive an email saying your membership has been approved. Since a moderator must do the approval, it may take some time, so be patient. Upon your approval, you will receive an email whichh will instruct you to click on a link in that mail which will validate your email address. Only after clicking the validation link in that email can you begin posting.
RECAP OF REGISTRATION STEPS	Fill out and submit online form Wait for email saying you are approved Click on the validation link in the mail Now you can log logon to the form and begin posting

FAQ's	While logged on to the Forum, you can use the FAQ link (top-right area) to access a detail user guide of Frequently Asked Questions. There you will find instructions for such functions as your user preference settings, how to format your posts, how to upload images, how to use Private Messaging, and more.

AOL USERS PLEASE READ!	Some ISP's such as AOL do not assign you an IP (address) for the duration of your internet connection, and this means during an internet session your IP can constantly change, our forum ties its login sessions to an IP and therefore a changing IP can lead to issues such as being logged out or invalid session errors on posting. A possible fix for this: In your AOL Internet settings, be sure that you uncheck "Optimize web browsing using topspeed technology" Also make sure that when you are logging on to the board, you check the box beside "log me on automatically after each visit" Note that the same "hanging ISP" problems might occur if you are using Google Web Accelerator.

You registered but cannot log in	The final step in the registration process is to wait until you receive a confirmation notice in your email that we have approved your membership.

You did not receive a confirmation-email	That is most likely because you have a spam filter that prevents mail from our board reaching you. You will need to set your filter so that you can receive mail from "emory.edu".
