The Message Board requires everyone who wishes to post a topic, or response, to log in using a registered account. To register your username and password, you will need a valid e-mail address.
We have added this as a precaution to prevent spammers and/or people abusing the message board.
If you are a new user and have not registered before:
- Go to the Message Board.
- Under the "Message Board" heading, click "Sign up," and it will open a new screen with boxes to fill in.
- Fill in the boxes. You must enter at least the following:
- “Username” — you can choose a made-up name for website use.
- “Email” — enter a working e-mail address. We require this to prevent spamming. (E-mail addresses will not appear on the Message Board, and we do not release this information to anyone outside of ITN.
- “Password”— you choose a password string. Words combined with numbers and/or signs are best. This will prevent anyone else from pretending to be you and posting.
- “Confirm”— type your password in exactly the same as before. This confirms to the computer exactly which string of symbols you want to use. *Note: the password is “case sensitive.” If you use upper- and lower-case letters, you MUST always type them in exactly the same way.
- Click "Create new account."
- If you have left a required box empty or if your password is different in the two boxes, you will be asked to reenter it. Retype and then click on the circles again.
- If successful, you will be returned to the Message Board page. You should see the "Post new topic" button on above the list of topics.
- You can proceed to read and post to the new Message Board.
If you have registered in the past, but your username/password is not working:
- Go the Message Board login page.
- Click on "(lost password?") at the top right above the login form.
- A field will appear asking for your username or e-mail address. If you get the message that there is no such e-mail address, simply click "Sign up for a new account" to start a new account.)
- Then click on the “E-mail new Password” button.
- You will receive an e-mail that will ask you to click a link in order to login.
- On the page that opens, click the "login" button, which will bring you to your user profile.
- Fill in a new password (twice) and click "save" at the bottom of the page.
- The page should display "Your changes have been saved."
Changing your password when logged in:
- Go to the Message Board.
- Log in with your current username and password.
- On the top right, click your username (displayed as "Welcome, [username]."
- On top, click the "Edit" link to edit your profile.
- Fill in your new password. Type it in twice, exactly the same (it is still case sensitive).
- To save the changes, click "save."
