Stewart, I made my donation via paypal, how long does it take to get access to the tasting note section? Also, are we able to upload photos yet? If so, how do you do it.

TNs and Photo Upload

Post by Guest »

The TN's are in the process of being refreshed and scrubbed, although you should be able to log into the site and see a menu called FTLOP Partners on the left. On that menu is the Tasting Notes link.

If you see any problems with the TN section, please hold off logging those until we are done refreshing the data (which should be later tonight).

The PORTrait Gallery will be operational soon. I'll keep everyone posted.

OK, got the TN section under partners..but now when I log out, I have to use my full first and last name to log in, then once I log in, it reverts to "Andy V." Is this supposed to do this or just my lame computer abilities..

I now have 2 scroll bars to deal with rather than 1 - 1 on the IE window and 1 which appears t belong to the Forum. Is this something to do with my browser settings or is this hw it is in the new world? If it's the later then I don't like it :x

Andy,

You can alleviate your issue by checking off the "remember me" box, that is located directly below the log in area.


Derek,

It is truly one of life's most difficult issues and I concur and hope you will forgive Stewart for this minor transgression. :evil:

I did try to update my profile but I got the error that the email already exists in the DB so I could not update my profile.

Help.

I've logged in and wanted to update my profile, but I can't see an "Edit Profile" link on the left of my screen. What I see are:

FTLOP Links Home
Forum
Wine Travel
Port Producers
Article Archive
Links
Support FTLOP
FTLOP Shop
Tell A Friend
About Us
Tasting Notes
Old Site (Temp Link)

Where should I be going to edit my profile?

"this email is already registered"

Post by Julian D. A. Wiseman »

I am logged in, using Firefox 2.0.0.1. Using the lower-left user profile (top one, confusingly, doesn't work) pop-down I get to my profile, which I edit. I add names etc, only to be told something like "this email is already registered". Please help?

I'm also having trouble in Firefox with the contribution screen of radio buttons, which is either non-functional or just confusing.

Thanks to everyone

Thanks everyone for their constructive feedback so far on the forum. Putting this site together has involved a lot of moving parts, some of which don't always like to play together. We will continue to fine-tune the technology, so your patience is appreciated.

Just wanted to let people know that we are looking at increasing the font size in the forum - there are a lot of template and design issues that make this more time-consuming that just flipping a switch, but we're looking at it.

Again, thanks for your patience.
