A member is a person that has Registered on a Forum. It is usually beneficial for a Guest to become a member if they intend to Post or use the forum more than once.

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 e-mails, and post new Polls and Topics are some additional benefits that may be available by becoming a member of a forum.

By default, a forum can support 16,777,215 registered members. However, this limit can be raised relatively easily.
