Registration is easy: When look at the page you can see in the middle and top, right beside the IMS logo a "Create account" link. Also down on the left side a link named "Sign up" and on the right side all the way down a link with "register" can be found. All those links lead to the registration page.

As soon as you have entered your data, a password will be emailed to your email account. You can use your account from that moment on.

Actually - nothing. It is only used for the IMS. We do not sell or trade the adresses or data. It is even not possible to view the data if you do not whish to do this. Also, your personal email address will not be displayed on any page, unless you state explicitly so. It is only possible to contact you over the webpage form, which avoids SPAM, SPIT and SPIM to your address.

The more, the better. At last your real name should be entered. It is a sign of respect that you allow other people to know who they are talking to.

If you are already registered, you can use anytime the link "Settings" to change your data.

No.

The news you are submitting is reviewed by the administration team. They review all submissions for typography, correct links and of course compatibility to legal issues. Submissions that are not filed without a real name are not accepted anytime. If the submissions is not clearly understandable, the administration stuff will contact you with their questions.

To give the best service, all registered members are invited to rate all entries (News, Jobs, Events, FAQ, Links, Downloads etc.) so that we can enhance the page further.

Many times people do not take sufficiently care when entering their email address. The result is, that the confirmation email with the password is bounced.

Whenever you register you should take care of typing in your email address correctly, so you can receive your password.

In the case, that you accidentially mistyped your email address, or, what can happen with some of the providers as AOL or GMAIL, your mail get bounced anyways, your are not able to reregister with the same email address. Either you have to use a secondary (backup) one, or you should contact the webmaster of these pages at webmaster@microencapsulation.de who can reset your password and logins.
