How to create your own log in for the members only page
You may find it useful to just print this page and follow the instructions
from the print out. The instructions print out on one A4 page.
The procedure (which is much easier than it looks from the rather
long instruction below) is as follows:
Visit the Members Only
page.
Click "Sign Up"
Fill in the mini-form which
asks for:
Email address
Password (select your own
password)
Retype password
Display Name (eg Charles
Dickens)
Date of Birth (very useful
but not absolutely vital)
Please uncheck the 'Do not show my age' box, unless you really don't
want your age published.
Location (Gosport, Fareham, etc)
Gender drop down box (Can't
get rid of it!)
Click "Sign Up".
You will then see a message
page on our website which tells you an email has been sent to the email
address that you provided (the email is generated within a couple of
minutes).
Go to your email Inbox and
open the new email, then click on "Yes, I'd like to join this site".
You will then be redirected
back to our website where you will see a message which says, "Account
pending approval".
Within 48 hours you will be
approved and you will receive another email confirming your
approval (but onlyif you are a member of Prince of Wales
Lodge No. 1705, so make sure you are using an email address that readily identifies who you are. Otherwise email the webmaster directly to let him know that he can expect a membership request from (e.g.) film.fan@btconnect.tv but that this is really Fred Smith).
Return to the Members Only
page and you'll see a message which asks you to "Please enter your profile
information", this is where you can add a photograph of yourself if you
wish and also a quick 'about me' field if you want to fill in any details
about yourself. You can either fill in the info or just click "No
thanks, skip".
Another message will ask if
you wish to invite other people to become members. You can invite other
Lodge members if you wish and if you think that they might not be getting
this email, or as before, just click "No thanks, skip".
Your final message will be
"Congratulations, you have successfully signed up".
That's it.
If you have any problems at any stage of the process, please contact the webmaster and he will endeavour
to assist.
Once you have followed all those steps you are a site member and you will be
able to log into the members only area by entering your own email address and
the password that you selected yourself. You will also be able to interact with other site members.
Apologies to anyone that used to be a member of our site without being a
member of the Lodge. Unfortunately, it is no longer possible for us to provide
site membership to anyone who is not actually a member of the Lodge.
