User Help

Create an Account

• User visits the sign-up page.
• User enters a username and an e-mail address.
• If configured, the system will send an e-mail with an auto-generated password and a link to activate the account. If the system is set to debug mode, then the password and the activation link will be sent to the browser. In debug mode, a user does not need to provide a valid e-mail address, since no e-mail is sent. But the user needs to provide an e-mail with valid syntax.
• User clicks the link to activate the account.

Login

• At the homepage or on the login page, the user enters the e-mail address, used to create the account and the password, generated by the system.
• Optionally, a user can check the save login box to avoid having to login the next time the user accesses the site. If using multiple devices, the save login box will have to be checked for each device if the user wants to avoid logging in on all devices.
• If the user forgets the password, the user can request the system to create a new password by entering the username and e-mail address in lost password section of the login page. If configured, the system will send an e-mail with the new password. If the system is in debug mode, then the new password is displayed to the browser.

Profile Page

• To change password, e-mail address, or profile description information, the user clicks on his or her username, located in the navigation bar at the top of the site.
• Next, the user clicks on "Change your password, e-mail address, or description info" and follows the form fields accordingly.
• The e-mail address not seen by anyone else.
• If the user enters description or profile information, this information is only seen by others who are on the user's approved list.

Request Approval

• Unless the user only wants to communicate with himself, then the user needs to know someone else who has created an account.
• On the profile page, the user enters the username of a known user and clicks the Request Approval button under the text line that says: ** "In order to message another user, you need to request permission to be added to the user's approved list."
• Users can message others only if the user is on the others' approved list.
