Please register on the forum, otherwise you will not be able to post messages, exchange information or see links. There is a 2 stage verification process for new members: Firstly you will receive an instant email to check that your email address is valid - click on the link in the email message to complete this, and Secondly, I manually check all new members to ensure that they are genuine researchers. Sorry that we cannot give instant membership. The 2 stage process stops spammers posting unwanted messages in the forum. The whole process is usually completed in less than 24 hours, so please be patient. If you have any difficulties registering, please use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page.
