Because some of the users of our site do not have e-mail addresses, you will now be asked for your username when logging in. This will be the same as your e-mail address. Next week you’ll be able to change your username if you are already signed up or you will be able to choose a username when you register for the reunion and get access to the Web site as well.

Previously the Web site didn’t like it if two people signed up using the same e-mail address. It let you do it, but you would only see one person’s name when you signed in using either combination of e-mail address and password.

From 1 Feb 2008 you can sign in using the same e-mail address as someone else and the Web site will recognise you correctly.

Get your password e-mailed to the address you used to register.

You can also click the ‘Forgot password’ link on log in page which will send a reminder to the address you used to register.

Era reps and chapter chairs can send reminders for events they have posted. Just go to Dashboard > select ‘Events’ from the menu. Events that haven’t already happened have a ‘Send reminder’ link next to them. Click the link for the event you want to send a reminder for. Customise the reminder or just click ‘Send reminder’ and it’s all done. Usually you won’t need to edit the reminder at all unless there has been a last minute change.

If you’re an era rep or a chapter chair you can now send quick messages to members of your reps or chairs. Just go to Dashboard and select ‘Quick Messages’ from the menu. Type your message and click ‘Send’.

Now you can connect with your old friends from CCNZ. Just search for them ccnzaa.org/members/search.cfm, view their profiles’ and click ‘Send him/her a message’.

You can now register and do other fun stuff.

Just adding a few more features. You can register again later tonight. Thanks for your patience.

It appears the Ompalompas are busy upgrading our database again.

If you’re having problems accessing the site this is why. Hopefully they’ll be finished soon!

You can no longer see anyone’s contact details on their profile page. We’re just cooking up a feature that will let you add other members as your friends and then you can send them messages. That way you only hear from your mates and no one else can bug you
