1. First thing to note is that you must obviously be a member of the Duchy to get access ...
2. Register a user name
here if you haven't already got one.
3. Log in and go to your user control panel (User CP).
4. Towards the bottom of the list of options on the left hand side you will find
Group Memberships under the heading Miscellaneous.
5. When you click on that you will get a list of all the private forum usergroups that it is possible for you to apply for. There are some general ones at the top, then guild forums in alphabetical order, so scroll down until you find
Duchy of Trinsic Private Forum.
6. To the right there is a link called
Join Group. Click on that, which will bring up a screen asking for the reason why you want to join. Enter a reason and click on
Send Request. You'll be returned to the list of User Groups and that's all you need to do.
7. Any of the mods can authorise you to join, and as soon as that's done, you'll see the forum with the DOT public one the next time you log in
