How does a "subscriber" become a "member"

I'm the owner of a forum [St Mary's High School ICSE '77].

I "subscribed" (using the "Options>Subscribe" link) an alternate email account (this one) to test the login / registration experience for "non-owners". I've been able to post (reply) a test message (using the web interface), and can login to the forum after completing the "registration" process.

BUT,

1) This email account does not show up under "members" - it does, however,  show up under "subscribers".
2) The only "Option" I can see is "Subscribe via e-mail". (When I click on this link, it informs me that this email-ID is already subscribed). I can't see the "Post by email" option.

Also, there are 8 subscribers now to this forum, but only 2 have made it to "members"

My Query:
What do I have to do now to become a "member" ?
( I need to know since I want to make some "subscribers" into "admins")

Thanks
