==When and How to Register==
<translate><!--T:1-->
When a user sets up an SMF forum, or wishes to join another SMF forum, they should register an account. This will enable them to maintain a consistent identity while posting and keep track of what they have read, no matter where they are working from or what computer they are using. They will be able to fill out a personal {{llink|Profile|text=Profile}} and use the built-in {{llink|Personal messages|text=Personal Message}} system. They will also be able to subscribe to e-mail notifications, monitor their forum activity and more.


Certain forums may choose to restrict access to the full forum or selected areas, allowing only registered members to view the content. A guest should register when they wish to participate in forum discussions, visit a forum frequently, and access members-only areas and benefits.
==Cand si cum ne inregistram== <!--T:2-->


A guest is any person or spider that is not logged into the forum. Once a person registers they become a member, however, they will still show up as a guest until they log in.
<!--T:3-->
In general, forumurile au obtiunea de a restrictiona accesul complet sau la anumite sectiuni, permitand doar membrilor inregistrati sa acceseze intregul continut. Un vizitator ar trebui sa se inregistreze pentru a participa la discutiile forumului, pentru a-l vizita in mod constant si mai ales, pentru a avea acces la toate sectiunile si beneficiile oferte de acel forum.


Members have access to profile and notification options that are unavailable to guests. Members can also be placed in membergroups, made moderators or administrators, given special permissions, and access members-only areas. Being able to send personal messages, receive forum emails, and post new polls and topics are some additional benefits that may be available to members of the forum.

Vizitatorul este o persoana sau un spider web, care nu este logat pe forum. Odata inregistrat, acel vizitator devine membru, altfel el va aparea doar ca vizitator pana se va loga.


A guest may register at any time by simply selecting the Register option from the main menu.

Membrii au access la profil, optiuni de a primi notificari, lucruri care nu sunt valabile vizitatorilor. Totusi, optiunile pot varia, depinzand de setarile pe care le-a stabilit Administratorul forumului. De asemenea, membri pot fi plasati in grupuri, facuti moderatori sau chiar administratori. Ei pot primi diverse permisii cu care pot accesa zone ale forumului, interzise de altfel pentru vizitatori sau alti membrii. Un membru va avea posibilitatea de a trimite si primii mesaje, de a primii emailuri de la administratie. Ei pot deschide topice, efectua sondaje si multe alte beneficii disponibile pentru membrii.

An authentication method must be chosen, as well. The most common method is simply choosing a password. Although, some forums may provide members with the opportunity to use an OpenID.

A form of visual verification may be present in order to confirm that a guest is actually a person and not a bot. This verification may be requested in two ways - CAPTCHA and custom questions. The CAPTCHA method displays an image containing a random collection of letters, which a guest must enter into a text field. The custom questions method displays one or more relatively simple questions, which a guest must answer correctly. A forum may be configured to use both methods at the same time.

*'''Login''' - If registration is immediate, the new member will be automatically logged in after completing the registration form.

==Activating A New Account==
 
If a forum is configured to require email activation before login, an email will be sent to the email address provided at registration. Important account information, such as username and password, can be found in this email, as well as an activation link. Selecting the activation link activates the member's account and prompts them to login. If a problem occurs with the activation link, the email also provides an activation code that can be used to complete the process.
 
If a member attempts to login before completing the activation process, an error will be displayed noting that their email address must be validated. A Need another activation email? link is also displayed in case the email has somehow been lost.
 
==Logging In and Out==
 
Whether newly registered or simply logged out, a member usually has two options to login. Once logged in, a member only has one option for logging out.
 
'''Login Screen'''
A member that is not currently logged in may access the login screen at any time by selecting the Login option from the main menu.
 
*'''Username''' - The member's username
*'''Password''' - The member's password
*'''OpenID''' - The member's OpenID
*'''Minutes to stay logged in''' - The number of minutes the browser cookie will last before expiring
*'''Always stay logged in''' - Keeps the browser cookie from expiring
 
When using a shared computer, a member probably should not stay logged in for a long time or check the Always stay logged in option, unless they remember to log out when finished. Leaving an account logged in on a shared computer makes it vulnerable to use by someone other than the member.
 
'''Quick Login'''
An SMF forum may be configured to allow login from any page. This is called quick login. In the default theme it is located in the top, left corner of each page. Other themes may place it in different locations. If quick login is disabled or cannot be seen, the login screen can stil be accessed from the main menu.
 
*'''Username''' - The member's username
*'''Password''' - The member's password
*'''Session Length''' - The length of time until the browser cookie expires
*'''OpenID''' - The member's OpenID
 
The session length drop-down menu corresponds to the Minutes to stay logged in option from the login screen. Similarly, selecting Forever in this drop-down menu is the same as checking the Always stay logged in option on the login screen.
 
'''Logging Out'''
Once finished browsing a forum, a member may choose to logout. This is an especially good idea when using a shared computer. Logging out turns a member back into a guest and safeguards the member's forum identity until they choose to login again. Leaving an account logged in on a shared computer makes it vulnerable to use by someone other than the member.
 
A member may logout at any time by simply selecting the Logout option from the main menu.
 
==Password Reminders==
 
If a password is forgotten or lost, it can be reset by selecting the Forgot your password? option from the login screen. The username or email address for the account is requested to begin the password reset process.


If the member has not set a secret question, an email containing a password reset link is automatically sent to the member's email address. Selecting the link allows the member to choose a new password. If a secret question has been set, they will be given the option of receiving the email or answering their question.
==Activating a New Account== <!--T:19-->


After answering their secret question correctly, a member may choose a new password. The password takes effect and can be used to login immediately.
<!--T:20-->
If a forum is configured to require email activation before login, an email will be sent to the email address provided at registration. The username and activation link are displayed in this e-mail. Selecting the activation link activates the member's account and prompts them to login. If a problem occurs with the activation link, the email also provides an activation code that can be used to complete the process. Note that a link to reset the password may be included in this e-mail, depending on the activation method enabled on the forum.

If a member attempts to login before completing the activation process, an error will be displayed noting that their email address must be validated. A ''Need another activation email?'' link is also displayed in case the email has somehow been lost.

The Registration Screen

Most forums require a guest to accept a registration agreement before the registration process can begin. By checking the option I Agree, a guest consents to comply with the agreement throughout the duration of their membership. Some forums may also incorporate a minimum age into the agreement process.

Registration form.jpg

Upon arrival at the registration screen, a guest is requested to enter a username and a valid email address. Failure to use a valid email address may hinder registration, depending on how a forum is configured.

The option to choose an authentication method is only shown if OpenID is allowed by the administrator as a registration option. If OpenID is not allowed, then a password must be entered.

A form of visual verification may be present in order to confirm that a guest is actually a person and not a bot. This verification may be requested in two ways - CAPTCHA and custom questions. The CAPTCHA method displays an image containing a random collection of letters, which a guest must enter into a text field. The custom questions method displays one or more relatively simple questions, which a guest must answer correctly. A forum may be configured to use both methods at the same time.

Once a guest completes the registration form, there are three possibilities for what is displayed next based on how the forum is configured.

  • Login - If registration is immediate, the new member will be automatically logged in after completing the registration form.
  • Activation - If a message about email activation is displayed, the new account must first be activated before login. An email with instructions how to proceed is sent to the new member's email address.
  • Approval - If a message about member approval is displayed, the new account must first be approved by an administrator before login. An email acknowledging the new member is sent to their email address. Another email may be sent later to inform them whether or not their application has been approved.

Activating a New Account

If a forum is configured to require email activation before login, an email will be sent to the email address provided at registration. The username and activation link are displayed in this e-mail. Selecting the activation link activates the member's account and prompts them to login. If a problem occurs with the activation link, the email also provides an activation code that can be used to complete the process. Note that a link to reset the password may be included in this e-mail, depending on the activation method enabled on the forum.

If a member attempts to login before completing the activation process, an error will be displayed noting that their email address must be validated. A Need another activation email? link is also displayed in case the email has somehow been lost.
