Since the vast majority of users<\/a> will sign up for your site themselves, there is not a way to create a user directly in the admin dashboard. If you wish to create a new user profile, you will need to do so within the normal registration method as your site visitors. Below are instructions for doing just that.<\/p>\n

How to create a new user in SMF 2.0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Visit the front page of your SMF Site. To begin user account creation, click on the Register<\/strong> link from the top menu.
    \n    \"1-click-register\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  2. Next is the Terms of Service for creating an account on your SMF site. Click on the button labeled I Accept The Terms Of The Agreement<\/strong> to continue.
    \n    \"2-terms-of-service\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  3. This page is where you will enter the user\u2019s basic information. At the bottom is a captcha security feature to prevent robotic, or, automated user creation. Once you have completed the information form, click on the Register<\/strong> button to save the information.
    \n    \"3-basic-information\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  4. If the information is valid and successfully saved, the user account will be logged in and returned to the main screen.
    \n    \"4-registration-complete\"<\/a>\n
