Registering as a PFD user

From Foldeomics Wiki

Registering a user account gives the user access to more features of PFD.
An unregistered (or guest) user can only browse folding data within PFD's database.
Registering a user account means that the user has access to features that require greater than guest level access.
One such feature is Depositing Protein Data.

Registering A User Account

When you first enter the PFD site, you should see a block entitled "Login", mid way down the left menu bar.

This block can be used for logging in once you have been registered.
If you forget your password this block can also be used for Recovering Lost Passwords.

To register a new account click on the "Register" link.
You should be taken to a screen that looks like this:

Enter your details in the corresponding fields and click "Submit my registration" when done.
If you did not enter data into a field correctly, then you should see a red error message beneath the incorrect field.

If your data was entered correctly, it should save & present you with this screen:

Check your email inbox, you should see an email from "Ashley Buckle", with subject "Protein Folding Database: User Account Activation".
This email will contain the activation link to activate your account. Please Note: This may take a little while depending on server load and your email provider.

Click on the activation link to activate your PFD account.

Congratulations! you should now be a registered PFD user.
Becoming a user allows you to deposit data, and allows you to access any features that require you to be a registered user.
