## 5. Register as am user: the "New account" page

This page allows you to create a new account. We use cookies for authentication and so you do not need to type your password every time. The drawbacks are:

- Your browser has to accept cookies for this to work.
- If you use a computer that can be used by other people, always logout. Just closing the browser won't do it.

Once the form has been submitted, the server will send you an email with your password, and will redirect you to the page you come from. The system will tell you if you made mistakes or forgot to fill a mandatory field.

The login must consist of 3 to 20 normal characters. No special characters please!

The email field must contain your real email address or you will never get your password.

The fake email is the one that will be displayed when you post something on the site. This facility exists because some people scan web pages to create lists for spamming. This is free space, but it should be easy (for a human being) to derive your real email adress from this one. For exemple, my mail is "jbcombes@netscape.net". A fake email would be something like "jbcombes@ANTISPAM.netscape.net". If you leave this field blank, daCode will create a fake email for you.
