What and where is the code used to register to this site?
The "code" is required only if you are not registered. Its purpose is to deter spambots which post links to other websites into unrelated questions. Before this feature was added, every night there were 100 or more links to porn and internet scam websites, many of which would send a virus to anyone who opened the link. If you wish to answer questions without registering, you just have to copy the squiggly colored letters from the box. The box with this code is next to the empty space that asks for the code; you must type those in as the code in order to register and answer questions.
