How to register
When you register, we send an email to the address you registered with. That email contains a link, which is specially coded to confirm that you’re replying from that email address. So to confirm your registration, you must click on the link in the email. (The reason we do this is that otherwise anyone could register with your email address.)
If you didn’t get the email, there are two possibilities: you entered your email address wrongly, or the email didn’t arrive for some reason.
Please try registering again, checking your email carefully as you enter it. If that email has already been registered, you’ll get a message to say so. If this happens, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and we will try to sort out the problem.
If you don’t get that error message, then your email must have been entered wrong the first time. Now you’ve got it right you should get the confirmation email from us: click on the link in the email to confirm your address and start using Dads Included.
If the email still doesn't arrive within an hour or so, please check your Spam folder, or Junk mail, to see whether the email went there by mistake. Your email programme should have a button saying Not spam or Not junk that you can click to move the email to your Inbox and let your provider know that email from us isn't spam.
How to post in the Forum
You'll need to register before you can post. But then just click on FORUM in the navigation at the top of the page. Under the Heading All Areas you'll see the forum areas: click on the one of these that's the best place for your post. Then click on New topic.
Think of a good Subject that will get people interested, and enter it. Then type in your Message. You can use the formatting tools to make text bold, italic, underlined or crossed through; to change the text size or colour; and to link to other sites and pages or to videos, for instance on YouTube. Underneath the message area, you can attach an image or a file - such as a Word document or PowerPoint presetnation - to your post. Don't forget to check the box if you'd like to get an email when someone replies to your post.
I don't get emails when someone wants to be my friend!
