Hi. I thought I'd give a few tips on getting started on this board. Moments after you register, you will receive an email with your username and a kooky password. Don't panic! The password can be changed to whatever you like. But first you must login ONCE with that bizzare password that was sent to you. The "change password" link in the welcome message won't work until you've logged in. So copy and paste that funky password into the login screen, and then you can click the link in your welcome message and go ahead and change your password to something you'll remember. Also - there is an excellent "Help" section that explains how this bulletin board works. You can view it by clicking the "Help" icon near the top of the main BB page. Or click this link: proboards8.com/help/index.htmlGood Luck!

Here's some more information if you are having trouble logging in:
1. The BB and Photo Album are completely different programs. So you need to register separately for each one.
2. You MUST use a valid email address when you register. It's the only way to get your original password to activate your account. The confirmation comes by email. So if you can't access your email, you won't be able to get the login information.
Another issue on the confirmation email: Many people have spam blockers that won't accept email from an "unknown" source. Your email program or spam blocker may be bouncing or deleting the confirmation email. So check your deleted items in your email program.
3. Many people have cookie blockers, firewalls, pop-up blockers, Ad blocking software that interfere with the login section. Try disabling these temporarily and see if that solves the problem.
4. Sometimes, even I have problems logging into the photo album. It tells me "no such user" or "wrong password" when I know it's correct! I can't figure out what the glitch is. But if I close my browser window. Open a new window, maybe even clear my internet cache, and make a fresh visit to the photo album ... suddenly, I can get in!
That's all I can think of for now ... I'll add more solutions as I come across them.
