Description Florian Hubold 2012-06-03 19:45:42 CEST 
Description of problem:

As far as i'e looked, sympa hasn't any obvious instructions how to create an account. The only thing i've found is the text you get when trying to subscribe to any mailing list (i've tried with qa-discuss) which says:

In order to subscribe to the list, you should open a account on our account system..
If you already have one, please log using your account in order to subscribe. 

The words "account system" actually are a link to identity.mageia.org, but it's not underlined, only on mouseover and quite hard to find and confusing for novices or potential contributors, who wanted to sign up for mailing lists.

Please fix.

I've ran into this issue today as well when trying to subscribe to qa-discuss. I also agree that it should be fixed.

The link "Authentication help" behind the login form has been updated to link to https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia.org_user_account
