The main idea behind the SMF forum software is that it allows your set of users \u2014 whether that includes the whole world or a private network \u2014 to create (or, register) new accounts and contribute to the ongoing conversations via topic creation<\/a>. The nice thing about account registration is that it happens automatically by default. This means your new users can register new account status and start contributing right away. (However, this can be changed by switching the setting to manual approval, a process which is detailed in another tutorial in the SMF education channel<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Agreements, terms, conditions, and privacy policy. <\/strong>You\u2019ll notice that, in order to proceed with account registration, a new user must agree to all terms, conditions, and the privacy policy for the site. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Terms
All of these terms and conditions can be edited, but SMF provides you with some good boilerplate example content right away.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

More Information About How to Register New Account In SMF<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Remember email security. <\/strong>At the registration screen, you have the option of receiving emails from the admin. If you wish to limit your email traffic you may want to leave this option unchecked. However, an email address is required for registration. This means your email will be stored in the administrator\u2019s database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onboard captcha. <\/strong>Your SMF installation secures registration by default with a built-in CAPTCHA. This requires your new user to complete a puzzle designed to trip up computers. This indicates your user is a human and not a bot. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
