Password
Passwords have no restrictions, but it is
recommended that you type at least 6 characters,
using a combination of characters and numbers.
Both password fields must be the same, simply as
a check that you typed it correctly.
Example: xd8bill
- Name
This is your real or displayed name. This is
what will be shown throughout the boards, in
place of your username.
Example: John Doe
- Email Address
This must be valid to register, and things may
be sent to this email address by the forum, such
as topic notifications. It is also required if
you ever wish to retreive a forgotton password.
We you can choose to have others be able to see
your email or not.
Example: me@mydomain.com
- Gender
This is an optional field to provide other users
with your gender.
- Birthdate
Your birthdate, in MMDDYYYY form. The birthday

to register on the forum. It also allows YaBB to
display special items on your birthday.
Example: 07 31 1981

This is an optional field. You may type your
current location or where you live in this
field. It is displayed in your profile for other
visitors to see.
- Time Offset
This is a + or - number to add or subtract to
the current time showing on the forum. The
forum's server may be in a different time zone
than your computer.
Example: Forum time shows 13:28, but your
time is 14:28. Time Offset would be +1
