BuddyPress.org

I’ve just installed buddypress on a local setup as I’m building a website. I’m playing around with the default buddypress theme while I get the hang of it. It’s all working okay but I can’t see how a new member can join the website. The login widget does not have a ‘create new member option’.

All it has is username, password and remember me tick box? Apologies if this is a stupid question that has already been covered.
