To register when you want to reply,

1. Click the Post a Reply button near the bottom.
2. This scrolls down a bit to show that "You must log in to your account to reply to posts", so click that link.
3. On the next page, click the See what you can do to help button.
4. Click Answer support questions in the forum.
5. Click the Sign me up button.

Presumably there's no direct link to register because asking a question doesn't require registration, and that's what most people want to do.

You can open this page to get a link to register as contributor:

Seems awfully complicated. Asking a random question (just like i did) is way easier.

You should consider adding a register button to the log in page, like any other forum on the planet already have one.
