Is it free to register a handle?
Yes it is absolutely free to register your unique handle at
Spamfreeforums. |
Why should i register a handle?
Forums have three levels for posting messages or reply's. Some
forums allow everyone to post messages or reply's. Some forums allow
only registered handles to post. And some only allow members to
post. Most forums are set to "registered handles only". So
in order to be able to post messages, you need a registered handle.
With that handle you can login to Spamfreeforums. Your handle is
valid for all forums, no matter where you registered your handle. An
extra benifit is that you are the only one who is able to post with
your handle. So nobody can abuse your name and post fake messages,
abusing your name. Your handle is password-protected. |
How do I register a handle?
Go
here to register your
own unique handle. We will verify your signup, and if its approved
you will receive an automated-email with your password and
login-link. So make sure you use a valid emailadres when you
register, or else you will not be able to receive the password.
Once you have your handle and
password, click
here to edit your handle ( change your
password and font
attributes). After selecting the attributes you wish, click on
"submit" at the bottom of the page. the page will
refresh and you will be able to see the changes you've made. If you
like what you see, go back to the bottom of the page and click "accept". From then on, all you need to do is LOGIN and
your handle will be automatically displayed in the "name"
box of any forum you wish to post in (even if it does not show -
it's there... really - it is! |
What characters may I use (such
as ~ or * etc) in my handle?
Any characters (such as * ~ etc) can be used when creating a handle. |
Where can I test my handle
to see if it looks ok?
The Test Forum
is for testing your links, checking out your handle colors/size etc.
Please feel free to use it whenever you need to. |
I tried to log in, but now
I'm locked out. Please explain!
You have five chances to correctly log in. If you make 5 errors, you
are locked out of loging in WITH ANY HANDLE!! (The lockout is based
on your IP address!) The log page will not let you login on the same
IP until either the file is cleared by the webmaster by hand, or is
automatically cleared at Midnight GMT. Please be careful with cut
and pasting your password. If it fails once, don't re-paste the same
thing again (even a space at the end of the password will make it
fail!) |
One of my posters has lost
his/her password. Can you help?
Yes. Please post the user's name in the Webmasters_Only
board. Unfortunately we will NOT post the information, nor
e-mail you (the member) with that info. What we WILL do is look up
the poster's handle, verify it does exist, and e-mail a new password
to the e-mail addressed used when requesting the handle. If their
e-mail address has changed, there's nothing we can do for them. They
will have to create another handle, or wait for this one to expire.
Sorry Folks! |
All about cookies.
We are using cookies to store your handle. The password is not
stored in your cookie but in a file on the server. If you use the
login procedure at this site more than 20 times without closing your
browser(s), then you may find your handle becomes inactive. To
correct this problem, just close all open browsers, then open them
and try to login again. Cookies given to you by this site are not
persistent cookies. In other words, they will disappear as soon as
you close all of your open browsers.
After doing a lot of research, We've found
cookies given to you by Java scripts might be capable of being
stolen by other Java scripts. This might be where the myth about
cookies started, but we are giving you a cookie using a CGI script.
Again, it only has your handle stored in it, and it can't be
tampered with by any other web site. |
Why do you have a "logout"
selection on the login screen?
Yes, there is a logout button on the login screen because you should
log out if your computer access is on a public/shared computer. The
handle information is stored in a cookie, and remains in your
temporary file directory unless you log out. If you don't share
your computer, it's not really necessary to log out. Cookies do
expire - you'll need to log in next time you come to Spamfreeforums. |
