If you try to change your WTMC website password, you might see this message:
The e-mail address is already taken
If you see this message, get hold of me () and I’ll sort it out.
It’s because of a limitation of our website platform, that insists that every user must have a unique email address. Which of course doesn’t hold for a large portion of our members who share a family email account. This is on my list to remedy, but in the meantime just give me a yell and I’ll sort it out manually.
Hi Mike I can log into the Phorum using healeyhouse & my password But I cannot log in to the Member Log in on the front page using the same details. They are obviously working independently, this means I cant Log In currently to contact people etc. Can we change the Members Log In to be the same as the Phorum Log in. Regards Stephen
Yep, you’re one of the folks with shared email addresses, so I’ll email you about resetting your password and getting you into the main website.
The website (in Drupal) and the forum (in Phorum) use quite different and incompatible authentication systems. I think with quite a bit of work it might be possible to integrate them, but that’s not too far near the top of our to-do list. You don’t actually need to use a login for the Phorum forum, so very few folks actually have set one up.
