How to sign up for the CCA message boards

A few of you have asked how to sign up for the message boards or said you've lost your password or don't know your username, etc. Here are a few tips/tricks to help you along.

The message boards (aka forums) are located here: https://forum.ccgtcc.com

To login, click the "Login" button at the top to get this screen:

You chose your username when you set up the account. If you've forgotten your username or password, click the "Forgot your password?" link near the bottom. You'll be sent an email with a link to reset your password. Your username will be shown in the email, so if you know your password but just forgot your username, you now have it.

To sign up for an account, click "Sign Up" at the top. Then:

1. Read the registration agreement and click "Accept" at the bottom.
2. Fill in the sign up form, shown here:

3. For your username, you can use your email address or your full name or a first initial/last name or whatever you like. This is what you'll enter in the login screen.
4. Passwords. I'm not sure if there's a strength meter on the password, but it wouldn't hurt to pick a secure one.
5. When finished, click "Sign Up" at the bottom.
6. The system sends a verification email to all new signups to make sure you're a legit person. Look for the email in your inbox or spam folder. Click the link and you're all set!

I monitor the new signups to look for CCA members (I make your primary group "CCA Member" so you can access the full message boards). I also look for obviously bogus signups like ones with email addresses that look like th.20.pwop.jskd.yyy.en@gmail.com and delete them so you should never see any hacker/spammer accounts filling the message boards with nonsense.

If you have any questions or problems using the site, let me know. Now, let's all go over there and post some stuff. We're well over 200 users currently, and around 30-50 people visit the forums daily. Welcome aboard!
