We are implementing some changes, which mean that members can no longer sign in with their usernames but instead with their emails.
If you use Facebook, Microsoft, Google, or Apple, this change won't affect you. However, I would strongly encourage all members to ensure their account has a physical password too.
A physical password is one that is encrypted within our database. If you are unable to access one of the above services, all you need to know is your email and that physical password. Over the years, some users have privacy emails provided by services like Apple. Accounts with temporary and false emails will no longer be accepted here.
If you don't wish to be contacted or receive emails, you have the option to opt out and change your notification settings.
However, opting out of email notifications would prevent you from staying informed about what is going on within the Pride of Nottingham community, such as comments and responses. I highly recommend transitioning to grouped emails, which are less frequent.
Recently, a major error caused the Pride of Nottingham site to be down for a considerable amount of time this past Sunday.
In the future, I will set up a way for members to stay updated with events like this, outside of social media for security reasons. I will also ask for permission to send emails to those who want updates in the rare event the site experiences issues. This is to keep members better informed.
I acknowledge that it's not productive to have areas with good intentions that are irregularly updated. I will look into what can be changed to ensure everything is up to a useful standard.
If you have any issues, please contact me. I am more than happy to assist you. Don't feel uncomfortable or worry about wasting my time. I am here to help and ensure that the Pride of Nottingham is accessible to those who wish to contribute.
Regards,
Chris
Pride of Nottingham team.
