HyperNews at hypernews.cs.uchicago.edu Membership

With this form, you can either register as a new member, or update your current membership information. As a member, only you can use your User ID or Email Address; the system will request your password to prove it is you. Membership applies to all forums at this site.

Note that this site uses the HyperNews system (version 1.10). This site is called "HyperNews at hypernews.cs.uchicago.edu". The administrator is odonnell@cs.uchicago.edu. Read about the access restrictions that apply here at the bottom of this page.

To register as a new member, first make up a User ID and enter it immediately below. Make it something that you can remember and easily type - it may be a "nickname". Then fill in the rest of the form. You should provide a Name since it is used to identify you in messages. You must provide a new password since it protects you from unauthorized use of your User ID. Finally, click on the Register or Update button.
To update your membership information, you only need to enter the fields that you are changing, and make sure the check boxes are set properly. But you will need to enter your User ID and current password at the end. You should inquire about your membership first, however.
