Please note the following technical information:

• Some internet-browsers block verification signs (shown at the end of the registration site). Your browser will ask whether "insecure elements" should be loaded (maybe you will just see a shield icon appearing in the address bar) - you should enable your browser to process and will then see the verification sign.

• Some e-mail-providers identify e-mail issued automatically as spam. As we use automatic replies, please check your spam before contacting us about missing e-mail.
