| How do I gain access to the members' board? |
|
We have developed the members' board to serve as an online resource for our church members. In the interest of security, however, we require you to obtain a password from the church before gaining access. Please contact us for further information.
If you are a visitor to our site and you would like to learn more about us through our members' board resources, please feel free to contact us as well!
Please don't fear the sign-up process! It sounds
MUCH more complicated than it REALLY is We've devised
the following guide to take you through the process step-by-step.
You can even print a copy
of the guide to keep nearby as you go through each
step. It's that simple!
- STEP ONE: click the Register
link. This link can be found
at the bottom of the login page for the members' board.
- STEP TWO: Type your desired username into the box beside "Username" and click the "Available?" text link to check if the username is available.
Note: Your username is the name you will use to log into the board each time you visit. Your username will also be the display name visible to all other members of the board.
- STEP THREE: Choose a password for your account and type it into the box beside the text "Password".
- STEP FOUR: Enter a valid email address in the box beside the text "Your email". You will need to retrieve an account confirmation email from this email address in the last step of this process.
- OPTIONAL SECTION: This section is not required to activate an account. However, if you wish, you may choose to add your full name, Instant Messaging details and other personal information (including a personal picture that will be displayed each time you post on the board).
- STEP FIVE: Choose your time zone from the list and select or deselect the remaining options to customize the preferences on your account.
When you are finished, click the "SUBMIT" button.
- STEP SIX: You will now need to check the email account you used during STEP FOUR of the sign-up process. You should receive an email from "noreply@websitetoolbox.com" with instructions on how to confirm your new account.
That's it! You are now ready to participate on our members' board!
