I'm logged in. How do you register youself on the new site?

Just a clarification:

Existing Forum Users
If you are an existing member on the Forum, you are already registered.
You should be able to use your forum username and password to log into the new site.

Once you have done so, please click on your "User Profile" link on the left hand side of the page. This will bring up your profile. Click on the Edit button at the top and update your profile with any missing information (especially your Real Name and location, which are required fields).

Brand New Users to the Site
You can click on the Register link on the left side of the page. Complete all the fields in the registration form and submit. The system will send you an email and you simply have to click that link to verify your account, and then log in with your new user ID.

By the way, I'm working on a FAQ section for these types of questions.

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.

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.

Stewart

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

Derek

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.

:devil: is in the details, and I will try to resolve your double scrollbar issue once the site gets out the door. Please bear with us while we fine tune the site...

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.

Ok - working on that issue right now... hold tight

2 scroll bars and half a bottle of Morgan 91 is just all too confusing at my age

Thanks guys

Derek

I still have no access to any other side menu other than the user profile

Akira - just sent you a PM

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?

Alex

1. Log in to fortheloveofport.com
2. After successfully loggin in, you'll have a new menu item on the bottom of your left menu area (scroll down) - you'll see "User Menu --> User Profile" Click that.
3. Your user profile will come up
4. At the top left of your profile, you'll see "Edit"
5 Choose "Update Your Profile" and you'll be able to update your info.
6. You can also upload an image (this image will become your avatar in the forums as well. Please note the size restrictions in the upload section.

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 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.

Yahoo, the double scroll bars are gone. Thanks Stewart

Mine haven't! I have tried logging out and rebooting to no avail.
