Your Website Account
All Fireside Dance Club members and guests are given a login account on the website
 with a default password that has an expiration date.
 Your login will be your first name and last name all in lower
 case separated by a period (no spaces).
 All member/guest records have a first name (which is the legal record on your drivers license)
 and a nickname, the name you like to be called. The full name and the login both use
 the nickname, so if your legal name is Deborah Jones but your nickname is Debbie
 then your full name will be listed as Debbie Jones and your login will be
 debbie.jones.

Password Management
 You can login using your account login (not your email) 
 and your password. If you don't remember your password
 or if it has expired, it is easy to update/reset it.
You can:

If your correct email is on file, go to the Login page of the website and click on the 
Forgot My Password and follow the
directions to get a reset link via email.

Otherwise, fill out a 
Feedback and we will get you setup in short order.


More info about
 changing your password. 

And Now That I am Logged In
 Once you have logged in, you will see a summary What do you want to do now in a box 
with shortcuts fo the common things you may need to do.  
You will see many functional option links in the top 
 navigation banner at the top and bottom of each page. The list of actions in the
navigation bars changes based on your role and access permission setting, but generally
most users will see most of the following:
 

 

 

 
Add User
 Where you can add a guest to the website. (Please use the Who lookup utility first to confirm they are not already present.)
 
 

 
Event Calendar
 List dates, times, hosting group for meetings and social events.
 
 

 
FAQ
 Frequently asked questions and status updates.
 
 

 
Feedback
 Form for getting help, asking questions of the board.
 
 

 
My Info
 Updating your contact information for the directory.
 
 

 
My Preferences
 Update your wishes about being on mailing list, receiving newsletters, sharing contact info.
 
 

 
Who
 Look up information about members, guests, and staff.
 
 

 
Roles
 Who is doing what in service to the club, including the board of directors.
 
 

 Each of the links takes you to a page where you can query and list information about the club
 and our events, and sometimes update information about you.
 Remember that this is all to make being a member of the club more fun (and allow
    those tireless volunteers to spend more time dancing and less time doing admin work)
and to enhance getting
 to know, enjoy, and ease the things we like to do most: get together, socialize, and social.
 If anything is confusing or overwhelming, click on the Feedback form and Jerry Bowes,
 our Webmaster, will get back to you to help.
