Hello all,

For the time being the best method of registration to GirlChat is by sending an email to register (at) annabelleigh.net requesting to be registered.

In the email, please state the nickname that you wish to use along with a posting password. The password must be a password that you do not use anywhere else for your own security. Nicknames may be rejected at the admin's discretion.

I plan to check the registration email account periodically during the week for new registration requests. Each weeks newly registered posters will be welcomed with a Welcome to GC post on Sunday (time permitting).

If you wish to have a signature picture, please also send it with your registration request. You can find more details in the FAQ but I will copy the FAQ entry concerning registration below:

GirlChat User Authentication and Registration

Only registered users at least 18 years old may post at GirlChat. To register send an email to register@annabelleigh.net and include your preferred username and password.

Registered Nicknames

Your username (or "nick") is yours alone and you must agree to accept responsibility for it. Allowing another person to use your username is grounds for a ban from Chat (should you have access) or the message board itself. If you have received a permanent ban from all or part of GirlChat this applies to any future nick you may wish to register. If you wish to dispute a ban, do so in a private e-mail to the GirlChat administrators. Public discussion or open flouting of a ban could lead to inadvertent linking of identities because of a standing ban being applied to a "new" nick.

Please note that you must use your exact username and password. If you registered the name "Joe" you can't use "Joey". The password is case sensitive.

Posters may choose to send us an image to appear with their nick, and text or HTML may be included to appear automatically with this signature picture ("sigpic") or instead of a picture. No photograph of a person may be used as a sigpic, unless the photo is of the poster him- or herself — and this is highly discouraged as it is dangerous to anonymity. Please e-mail your request to register@annabelleigh.net and include your nick and password. You will be notified as soon as it is ready for use, which may take several days.

Once a sigpic and/or signature text is set up it will appear with your posts unless you uncheck the checkbox at the bottom of the posting form, where it is labeled "Automatically append sigpic?" Unchecking this box will disable the sigpic. If you want to check what it looks like before you sign a post with it, just use the Preview button.
