I subscribe to the paper edition of The Tablet but can't find my subscription number. What should I do?

You will find your subscription number on the address label (carrier sheet) that arrives with your copy of The Tablet every week. To activate your website registration click on a non-free article on The Tablet website and you'll be prompted to log in. On this page you will see "First time login, register". Click on that and add your reader number (your number can found on your magazine address label). Then add your email address and create a password, and click the button "join". Shortly afterwards an automated email will be sent to you. Click on the acknowledgment bar this email contains and you will be returned to The Tablet website fully registered.
