Frequently Asked Questions

Logging In

Why should I log in?

When you log in you have access to all of your account information. You can edit your profile to make updates to your information, set your privacy options, add an Avatar, check your event registrations, pay dues, and check your donation history. You can also look up other members in the directory and even send them a message.

Where do I log in?

Click on the Log in button at the top right of the page and to the right it will take you to a page with a box for your email address and password.

I don’t have a password!

When you click on the Log in box at the top of the page, if you don’t have a password, or have forgotten your password, click on the blue Forgot password text. Enter your email address, click the box next to “I’m not a robot” and click on submit. You will receive an email that contains a link. Click on that link and it will allow you to set/reset your password.

My Profile

How do I edit my profile?

Once you have logged in to your account, the upper right will display three things: your name, Change password, and Log out (the second two are self-explanatory). If you click on your name, you land on a page that says, “My profile.” Near the top of the page, you have options to see Privacy settings, Email subscriptions, Event registrations, Invoices and payments and Donations record.

Click on the white Edit profile box to make changes to your profile. You can then update fields such as your address, phone number, etc., or add an avatar.

What is an Avatar and how do I add one?

An avatar is a thumbnail picture representing you. It can be a picture of yourself or some other image that has meaning to you. To add or change your avatar, click on the edit profile (as described above).

If you already have an avatar, the text next to the picture will say Remove / change. Click on that text and the avatar will be removed. Add a new avatar as described in the next bullet.
To add an avatar, click on the Choose File button, next to the Avatar field name. This will open your pictures folder. Choose an appropriate picture, and click the Open button. The picture will be inserted into the Avatar field.

Privacy

How do I control who sees my information?

On the My profile page, there is a blue Privacy button. If you choose that option, it will show you what parts of your profile you will allow anyone, only members, or no one to see. While on this page, click on the white Edit profile box, and it will allow you to make changes.

The first thing to indicate is whether to be part of the member directory. Do this by clicking or unclicking the button that says Show profile to others (see red arrow). Note: this is automatically set to NOT show your profile to others. You must opt IN if you want to share your information with other members. Below you can indicate which pieces of information you want to share.
In the Details to show section you can click in one of the three columns (Anybody, Members, or No access) for each individual item (First name, Email, Phone, etc.) to indicate who gets to see that piece of information. Make your selections, then click on the save button. Note: the default settings show members your first and last name, if you have opted to be listed in the directory.
