Post by: Michael on March 19, 2010, 09:49:24 PM
I am gonna post a link to the new forums here to let everyone register and take it for a test drive.  Please be aware I have tried to make both forums as similar as possible to keep the growing pains as minimal as possible.  Please also be aware this is not the LIVE site and is only a sneak peek.  Enjoy!

Looks wonderful...I went ahead to try and register and was unable to enter a password...I'd click on the field...however the vertical line wouldn't appear...and I couldn't type anything in.  I'm using Firefox...I'll try again with Safari...just wanted to share this feedback. 

Thanks so much for your tireless labor on our behalf, Michael!

Well...I get as far as entering my user name, my email address, click on the box allowing users to email me...and then on to enter my passwords...and no go...nada...can't get the field to accept any typing...so ahem...it would seem my password isn't too long...like not one character...:=)...what a lot of work it must be setting up a message board...can't begin to fathom all of the program coding required!

BTW...the user name and email address fields appear with white line boxes...grey interior...the password fields appear with white rectangular boxes...in case it helps to know this...:-)

Can I ask what browser you are using clayharmony? You will get a green check mark at the end of the field if it is acceptable.  After checking the email box,  just simply type in your new password and tab down and type it again.  Also,  dont forget to enter the CAPTCHA letters and the NEW 2 questions below that which will help spam bots from registering for an account.

I am using Firefox on a Mac...and I just tried again with Safari...when I key in my user name it does show an green check mark at the conclusion of that entry...but a green check does not appear after I enter my email address...a red underline appears under verizon as if I've mis spelled it...or entered it in error.  I did go on once and fill in the rest of the Qs beyond the password fields just to see if it prompted me to fill the password and allow it...that didn't work either...I try once more on Safari and see before I send this post to you...

Okay...I was able to register using Safari...the dots were very light for the password field...but showed up enough for me to realize the field was accepting my input...and the green arrow appeared too...next to each field.

I entered the letters in caps...just to see to be sure it would take...although to my old eyes the letters in the box looked like lowercase to me...:-)

I'm going to see now if the dots appear in the password field with my Firefox browser...okay Michael...I just checked it out...and the dots are very very faint on Firefox...quite faint too with Safari...but indeed I'm registered...

I hope you get some rest at some point this evening...and thanks again for offering us the best Clay 'habitat' ever!

Yeah,  I saw you got registered and noticed the password field was a bit light.  I will add that to my list to see if I can either darken the characters when entering them,  or changing the color of the password box to a different color for better contrast.

Michael...I bet this is adding up to more expenses...I'm going to donate some more monies for this site and I bet I'm one of many who will gladly do so.  We value coming here each day...it is indeed a cyber family...and you and the moderators have made that possible for us.  Maybe someday, we'll have a Claymaniacs gathering and we'll be able to honor you directly. 

Just saw the movie "Precious" today...and as difficult as that content was...it underscores the good fortune some of us enjoy so regularly...the support of genuinely caring folks, like yourself.  Sending you all the best...

 :wave I registered, too! :bouncy

I had the same trouble with the password. Thought it was because I was using Firefox. Tried in IE and it was the same thing. For whatever reason, you can't click directly in the box; however, I was able to tab down. Hope maybe that helps!

Michael, just tried to register and perhaps my user name with the periods will cause an issue???  Says my username doesn't exist.  I tried both the following mrs. c. then without periods mrs c neither are being accepted.
Thanks for all you are doing to make this easy!!!

I am still unable to log in!  I typed in my regular user name and my password and it is not accepted!  What am I doing wrong?

EDIT  I finally figured it out!! :doh

Go to the site with Michael's link above.  Then click on Register at the top of the page.  This takes you to a page where you fill out information and then you are in!! :wheee

Along those same lines, MICHELLE, for some reasonI have been totally unable to login or even re-register at the alternate Claymaniacs site (the old back-up sight we have used over the years).  Frustrating.   :bang

That's good, EVELYN!  Actually on the old back-up website, I am just waiting for "Administrator Approval", so hopefully over the next week or so it will be approved and I can go there when necessary. 

BTW, EVELYN, I forgot to post in your birthday thread a while back.  So please accept a big belated Happy Birthday hug and good wishes from me, sweet Evelyn.  :bighug

I'll just have to try again later. Glad I popped back in time to read the news on this.

**NOTE TO ALL TRYING TO REGISTER***

If you want to PM me your desired user name,  password and email address I will be happy to create a new profile for you on the new website until I can fix the little password problem

Evelyn - to add your Avie:

First, have your Avie on your computer. If you have not done so, right click on your Avie and save to your computer. (To "My Pictures", or wherever your computer program puts photos).

Register on the new site - then click on "Profile" at the top of the page.

At the left, you will see "Modify Profile". There will be several links beneath this to change different things about your Profile.

Click on "Forum Profile"

Check the box that says "Upload An Avatar" - hopefully, your computer will go to your photos - if it doesn't, go to where your Avie is located on your computer. Click on your Avie, and it will upload.

NOTE - a couple of days ago, I could not get my Avie to save to my computer - Michelle had to help me with this - once she emailed my Avie photo to me, I was able to get it to save. If you have any problems, I will be glad to help if I can.

EDIT - I forgot to say that when you make any change to your profile you have to check the box at the bottom of the page that says "Change Profile" - sometimes you are also asked for your password before you are allowed to make changes.
