Which users are "registered"? Why register?

With the SiteVIN forum / blog registered users are those who own an account in SiteVIN. You can open an account using the standard signup (which will create a full web site for you) as well as the quick signup (will create a personal page which you could grow into a full web site later).

 

As a registered user you can sign in to any SiteVIN forum / blog with your SiteVIN login name and password and enjoy a number of benefits:

  • Your postings will contain a link to your SiteVIN website or personal page.
  • If you have uploaded a photo in the Personal Info section of your SiteVIN account, it will be displayed in forum postings.
  • You can have the ability to edit your own postings if this option has been allowed by the forum / blog owner.
  • You can skip the login next time by checking the "Remember Me on This Computer" option.
  • You can be assigned a moderator of a forum / blog on another SiteVIN website.
                    

Anonymous users on the other hand do not own SiteVIN accounts and can identify on a forum / blog with their name and email address.

The forum / blog owner can give different rights to registered and anonymous users with regard to posting messages or comments - for instance, allow only registered users to start a thread, but let both anonymous and registered users leave comments.
