Rotary Club of Qualicum Beach Sunrise

I posted a note earlier today to the web site that mentions the change of our club web site to a new server. I hope we will all find that the problems of the past several months of slow response or no response at all to the web site are a thing of the past.

But there is one change that many will notice and that is email notifications of changes to the web site now work. That means when anything new is added to the web site, it will automatically send out a notice about it. If it is turned on for your account, you will receive a notice for this posting to my blog.

I anticipate several questions that will come up right away.

Firstly, since many of our members have not been using the web site, login names and passwords may have been forgotten. Your login name is just your usual name, first name and last name separated by a space with normal capitalization. So for me, it is "Ken Walker".

Passwords are individually set. If you don't remember yours, there is a link in the login box to request a new password. This may not have been working before, but it does work now. It will email you a link that you can click on to log in and then you can set your password to whatever you like.

The second question I expect will be: "Can I shut off these email notifications?" The answer to that is yes you can. Once you are logged in, there is a box on the lower left side of your screen with your name at the top of it. If you scroll down and click on "My subscriptions" you will see tabs for "threads", "blogs", "categories" and "content types". If you look in "categories" and "content types" you will see how you can set the types of content you will be notified about. Just tick the boxes for the ones you want, untick for the ones you don't want and save the settings by pressing the Save button at the bottom and that will do it.

Let me know if you need any help with this (kgw@lunar.ca). You can also find information in our help files here.
