Member Registration Help

The Account Registration enables users to create their own site credentials. User credentials, or account information, serve as each user’s virtual ID that will enable the site to log relevant activities of each member throughout while browsing the site as well as to tag which entry belongs to which user – a very important information for major sections of this site such as the forum, gallery, forms, etc.

Registered members can use their login information, a major part of his credential, to login to the site and access sections intended only for registered members.

REGISTRATION FORM

The first step of the registration process is by filling up the Registration Form. The registration form lets the user enter his personal information such as name, address, date of birth and such. Aside from the aforementioned, the registration form also asks the user for his desired user name and password that will be used by the user to login to the site.

Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required fields. Required fields are mandatory. These fields cannot be blank and must contain a valid value. Registration will not continue unless all required fields are properly filled. Fields other than required fields are optional.

Before submitting the Registration Form, users must see to it that the checkbox labeled "By submitting this form I agree to comply with this site's Terms of Use." is checked and that you have read and understand the Terms of Use.

Clicking the "Register" button will validate the information you entered. If an invalid entry was found or an error occurred during the sending of the form, the registration process will be halted, the user will be presented with the error message and will let him/her correct the error.

On the other hand, if all field are filled-up correctly and no error occurred, your account information will be save to the MTC’s database ready for activation.

ACCOUNT ACTIVATION

Confirmation Email
After successfully submitting the registration form, an automated email will be created and will be sent to the email address you provided with your registration info. This email, called Email Confirmation, verifies if you are the real owner of the email you used to in registering your new member account. This email contains your new account information together with the Activation Link.

On a few rare instances, you may not find the email confirmation in your inbox. This happens when your email server, ISP or email client accidentally marked the email as SPAM. If this happens, check your SPAM (sometimes called Bulk or Junk, depending on your email client) folder for messages from our site, then "unspam" our email address by removing it from your SPAM email list.

Activation Link
The Activation Link refers to the link contained within the Email Confirmation sent to users after completing the registration form. This link contains a coded key that will unlock the new user account. Once clicked the user will be redirected to the MTC site, confirms if the key matches the user account’s user name and code then finally unlocks the new user account if the key-lock combination is identical.

After unlocking the account the user is now a legitimate member of the site. Members can use their username and password to login to the site and access all features intended for members.
