- <td> Hi, <p> and welcome to the registration! Currently we have a lot of automated <span style="background:"><font color="">Wiki Spam</font></span><a href="http://LOCATION/WikiSpam">?</a> that have caused us to disable automatic registration of new users. We regret this very much but hope that you can live with the situation. So to register as a new user you go ahead and fill in the form below, then you: </p>
- <ol>
- <li> Check that your <span style="background:"><font color="">Wiki Name</font></span><a href="http://LOCATION/WikiName">?</a> home page has been created in the Main web. </li>
- <li> Visit the page <span style="background:"><font color="">Reset Password</font></span><a href="http://LOCATION/ResetPassword">?</a> to create an encrypted entry for .htpasswd </li>
- <li> Email that encrypted entry to <a href="mailto:joachim@gnufansNOSPAM.org">joachim@gnufansNOSPAM.org</a> who will manually add you within 24 hours. </li>
- </ol>
- <p> If you find this process deterring and just want to make a small change, then use the <span style="background:"><font color="">TWiki Guest</font></span><a href="http://LOCATION/TWikiGuest">?</a> login and make sure to add your real name to the changelog at the bottom of the topic. </p>
