If you turn on Public Registration people can register for the site and you can choose what happens, this is in the Dashboard -> System & Settings -> Public Registration.

Hi Hutman.
Thanks for help. It works now, however, I do have an other question.
Is it possible for someone to automatically become a member if he replies to a post?
For an example, once the person replies to a post, then her receives a user-name and password automatically and he doesn't have to put his details again to reply to an other post if he needs to.
Much appreciate that.

You would have to adjust whatever block or single page controller the "post" is being processed by to add the registration code in there, there isn't a button or add-on to do that, you'd have to code it manually.

Thanks for that.
To add codes to every page or block, it would so much hassle as there may be 5000 pages or blocks.
Any other easy option you reckon?
Cheers for that.

You wouldn't have to do it on EVERY page or block, you just have to do it to the controller that handles your form post which you want to automatically create the user. I am assuming this is either a block of a certain type or a single page built into your system.

Thank you again in deed.

I'll muck around with it in the next few days over the weekend and will definitely get back to you with the results.
Cheers

Hello again.
I tried my best I could, however, I wasn't successful. I am new to these kind of programs (APPs) I am not sure what code and where exactly I add it.
Can you give me more instructions and or coding please.
Thanks gain
