How do I change my recorded email address
If your email address changes, it is important that you update your Profile with the new address. Log in, click on the User Control Panel link at the top left of any page.

Usernames cannot be changed.

I forgot my username and/or password. What can I do?
If you know your username but not your password, go to the login screen and click on the "Reset password" link. Follow the prompts. If you forgot your username, you are in big trouble. Use the Support link outlined in red at the top of any page to request assistance. Do not ask us for your password, only you know what password you used when you registered.

The system sent me a new password but I cannot log in.
Are you using the correct username? Did you activate the new password according to the instructions in the email message you received with the new password? Are you entering the password exactly as given you in the emaol message?

When I try to register, I'm told someone is already using my email address. What gives?
That someone is YOU. It means you are already registered under another username.

How do I include a picture in my message?
