Click the 'here' link to return to the topic or wait a few seconds to be taken there automatically
Your selected option will then show up in the registration list...
... and as a colour-coded blob and number in the topic summary information in the forum list
To change your sign up option/category, simply click a different button and repeat steps 1 to 3.
To remove yourself from the sign up list completely, click the 'Cancel My Registration' button..
(new image required)
... and then the 'here' link or wait a few seconds to return to the topic
Creating a registration form
Create a new topic in the Events or Group Buy forum as normal and then follow these steps to add a sign up form to your topic:

Finally, click Submit to enter your complete event/group buy into the database 8)
Your registration will then appear in the forum with a summary of the number of signups for each option:

The registration creator will see a tick box next to each registered member. Click in the tick box to confirm the registration (e.g. when the member has paid and/or sent any required information). A pop-up tip appears so you can check you have the correct member:

Hi Martin - can you direct me towards instructions for adding a sign up to a thread in the Australian Form?
CheersIs God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
