| Do I have to register to access the site? |
No. However, in order to fully utilize the abilities of this forum, you will need to register as a member. Registration is free, and allows you to do the following:
- Post new threads
- Access protected areas (there are many) of the site
- Reply to other peoples' threads
- Edit your posts
- Receive email notification of replies to posts and threads you specify
- Send private messages to other members
- Enter events in the forum calendar
- Set up a 'buddy-list' to quickly see which of your friends are currently online
To register, you will need to specify a username and password, and a valid email address. Entering your email address will not leave you open to 'spam', as you can choose to hide your email address, and messages sent to you via email do not reveal your address to the sender in any case. (To verify this, you can try sending an email message to another user.) The administrator has configured the forum to send you the final part of the registration process by email, so ensure that the email address you provide is valid and working.
Additionally, you must maintain a valid working email address for your account to remain active and functional. If messages (private message notifications or thread subscriptions) sent to your email address fail, you will be asked to update your profile with a working email address. Your account will automatically be limited (no ability to post, search or view most parts of the site) until you update the account with a valid email address.
If you are under the age of 13, the administrator will require that a parent or guardian provides consent before allowing you to complete the registration process. More information about this is available during the registration process.
The information you provide during registration is not sold, shared or used by anyone except RidingArizona.com.
If you believe someone is sending you advertisements as a result of the information you provided through your registration, please notify Riding Arizona immediately. |
