Logging in
Once you have registered, or if you are returning
to a site, you can login to the site. In the menu bar on the forum
you will find an image/text that says "Login". If it says "Logout"
you are already logged in. This can happen if you've already logged
in before and chosen to have the forum remember who are you are.
This places a cookie on your system. Once you choose "Login" you
will be prompted for your user name and password. If the
combination is correct you will be allowed to navigate the forum as
a user, rather than a guest.
Logging Out
If you are done browsing the forum you may decide
to logout. Perhaps you share a workstation with someone else, in
this case you would want to log out of the forum upon leaving. When
you are logged in you will see "Logout" in the forum menu, select
this and the forum will log your user name out.
If your desired username is available, you will
either be able to login or you will receive an email with a
temporary password - again this depends on what type of registration
the administrator has set the forum to.
Forgot Password
If you're trying to login to the forum but you
forget your password or have lost it, you can retrieve it using the
lost password tool. On the login screen, next to the username field,
it says "Forgot password?" Click this to be taken to the "forgot
password" form. Enter your username on this screen and press the
Send button. Your password will be sent to the email address
registered to that username.
