Are there any browsers with known problems?

Both the Safari and Chrome browsers have reported limitations.   These include the inability to resize images by dragging the edges or corners; the spell check dialog box appearing larger then in other browsers; the autofill form suggestions appear in random places on the page; and the pop-up window on right click does not always work.   The only suggested fix is to set your browsers preferences to always accept cookies.  To do this make the following adjustments if necessary: Preferences -> Security -> Accept cookies: Always.  If this doesn't fix the problem then you need to try a different browser.

There are default privacy settings that are used by all members.  They restrict what personal information is displayed and who can see it as follows:

  • First name - Anybody can see your 1st name; if you add a comment on a forum or blog your 1st name will be displayed as the author.
  • Our organization, ODATC, will be displayed to anybody.
  • Your membership level, individual, family, etc. will be displayed to anybody.
  • The send message form is displayed to anybody. This form allows someone to send you a message without seeing your e-mail address.  That information is always keep private.
  • Your personal photo can be seen by anybody.  This is the picture you can add to your membership profile.

Members can see the above items plus:

  • Last name
  • The photo albums you've added.
  • Your interest; trail maintenance, photography, etc..

Nobody has access to your address, phone numbers and e-mail address.

You can change your personal privacy settings by logging in, clicking on view profile, then click on edit profile.  Once here you need to click on privacy.  This takes you to the privacy settings where you will see three columns: Anybody, Members, and No access.  Find the item you want to change and click on the column button where you want it to be moved.  Remember to save any changes.

What is meant by the term "Bundle Summary" that I see on our family membership profile? 

What you are seeing is the current bundle limit and the number of records used in your bundle.  You should see:

  • Bundle limit 2
  • Used so far 1

The add member button displays only if your "used so far" value is less then the bundle limit.  Then you are allowed to add a new member to your bundle if you are the bundle administrator.  The only reason to add individual contact records into a family bundle is if you both what to maintain separate e-mail accounts. Otherwise there is no advantage and the site administrator strongly recommends that it not be used since it takes up needed space in our membership database.
