Along the top bar of the forum, there is a menu listing options such as "Home", "Search", "Members", "Calenders", etc. There is a tab called "Register" for unregistered guests to the forum. To get a membership for free, you must click on this tab and fill out the form provided on the page. When you complete the form, you will be sent an email with your confirmation code and a link. You can:
a) Click on the link, in which case the page it sends you to will have the confirmation code already filled in, and all you have to do is hit 'confirm'
b) Copy the code provided in the email and continue to the 'complete registraiton' button remaining on the page you were on after filling out the form.
You will then be an official registered member.
