How to Register
If you are not logged in, you will see a REGISTER menu option on the top level. If you are logged in, log out to see this.
Choose Register menu option and you will be shown the registration form.
Depending on how you were invited, this form may be partly filled out by the inviting member.
Your options are:
1 Complete the mandatory fields, including acceptance of LISN membership, and click “Complete Sign Up” button.
You will be sent an email confirming your membership, and requiring your authorization as the email owner. Once that is accepted, congratulations, you are a member! You can then login.
2 Select one of the social login icons, for FACEBOOK, LINKEDIN, or GOOGLE+
Selecting a social login will save time if your form is empty, you will be asked to authorize your account in a small window that appears, and you are a member! However you will still be required to complete those fields which the social login could not supply, please do that next.
NOTE: There are a few fields that are mandatorily visible and will be seen by everyone. These are the acceptance of LISN terms, your location (a minimum of country and zip/postcode is required, though a full address including province/state is helpful). Other field visibility can be set by you, by clicking the change button next to “This field can be seen by:” The more visible you are, the more likely you will be matched to the searches of people trying to find you!
