  Site issues: Jan 02 Update (Sign In)

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  i've deployed a fix for people affected by sign-in issues caused by having multiple accounts associated with the same email address.

  here's how to activate the fix:.

  you must attempt to sign in using the email address associated with your account (not a username) and must have access to that mailbox.. if there are multiple accounts associated with the email address then you will be shown a warning message with the option to have an email sent to repair your account.. the email will contain a link to a page showing all the accounts associated with the same email address and allow you to select the one you want to be active (it will disassociate all the other accounts from the email address).. once you have completed the process then you should be able to sign in as normal.

  I tried to "like" your post EdenOne but it didn't work. I liked having the  post counter and the joining date too. A little flag would be awesome too, like some of the earlier members used to have on the old site. Poor old Simon. We want it all. x

  No longer to use "house to house record" slips and "please follow up slips"!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. beliefs

  a letter has just been read out indicating that effective immediately, witnesses are no longer to use the s-8 slip known as the "house to house" record slip, as well as the s-43 "please follow up" slip (usually used for foreign language people).. the letter stated that this is because of the changes in privacy laws etc that are becoming common in the world today.. i will try and get a copy of the full letter and post it asap.. .

  I remember when S8s were stopped and we all used little notebooks instead.

  So would that be Jws following the letter of the law or the spirit of the law I wonder.

  Congratulations!

  I would advise not to use a "popular" name of the decade she is born. Girls born late 50s or early 60s were all Carol, Julie, Susan, Janet, Shirley etc so no matter how young you look you are probably in your mid 50s now.

  A name that crosses time is much better.

  My girls are Anna, Sarah and Emma. You cannot guess their age by their names. They could be 100 or new borns which is why those names were chosen.

  My daughter Anna named her daughter Abbigail. Good name but with double "b". Nothing is available as small named gifts such as pens, notepads, door plaques etc so I would also advise a traditional spelling too. xxx

  Accepting I am a bit weird.

  Before, being true to myself and staying real was never an option. I was always pretending to be the person I perceived others thought I should be and then trying to maintain that facade.

  I have true friends now, you know who you are, a lot being the same group as Cantleave mentioned and none of them push me to do more than I can or be who I am not.

  My answer is friends.......and hedgehogs and my dog.
