Before I ask my first question, I am posting this note to suggest that you add to the registration page a note which advises those trying to register into the forum that the browser needs to be set to accept cookies.
I found this out the hard way, after several exasperating days of trying unsuccessfully to register, and there was no means of contacting anyone to ask questions about registering (a real catch 22)
Even worse, when I tried to register, I kept receiving an indication that the code I had been asked to type in was entered incorrectly. There was no indication that cookies were the problem.
I hope that this will save someone else the headaches that I had in trying to acess this forum.
