ADMIN - Last Call to Join Up Posted by Marta December 02, 2010 - 21:13:48 Topic ID# 10792
Hey guys,

The 2010 awards end in approximately two weeks, on December 15. There's
still time to get some votes in, and I encourage you to do that. But before
you can vote, you need an account at our site. So this week I'd like to talk
about different types of accounts, and how you get them set up.

***************************************

WHAT TYPES OF ACCOUNTS ARE THERE? HOW DO I GET ONE?

There are two main types of accounts:

==> author accounts
These last for one year. They are set up automatically for you whenever your
story is nominated.

==> permanent accounts (sometimes called MEFAwards accounts)
These last from year to year. To get one, you must first join the MEFAwards
Yahoo group. You will then be sent a questionnaire. When you answer that, a
volunteer will check that you don't already have an account. You will then
be sent a password and username by our volunteer - usually within
twenty-four hours of receiving your questionnaire.

*********************************************

WHAT CAN THESE ACCOUNTS DO?

Author accounts can vote for stories by other people, and can use site
functions like the story list, wish and skip lists. They can also reply to
the reviews written for their stories.

Permanent accounts can do everything that author accounts can do, but during
the nominations portion of the awards they can also nominate stories.

Some volunteers receive a second account to help them do their work for the
awards, for technical reasons. However, these votes cannot nominate or vote
for stories.

********************************************

WHY DO I HAVE TO JOIN A YAHOO GROUP TO GET A PERMANENT ACCOUNT?

We need to occasionally make announcements that we know everyone will
receive. The easiest way to do that is by email. That is why we require
everyone to join the Yahoo group [MEFAwards], to facilitate this. Also, it
helps us to make sure everyone involved only has one account at our website.

Your Yahoo username and password are not tied to your account information at
our website. You may, if you choose to, make the two passwords match; but if
you change one it will not automatically change the other. While you have to
be a member of the Yahoo group, you cannot use that information to log in to
our website before your account has been set up.

**********************************************

HELP! I CAN'T LOG IN

If you have logged in before and just can't access your account, go to
http://www.mefawards.net/MEFA2010/ and click the "Forgotten Password?" link.
This will take you to a form you can use to have your password automatically
sent to the email address you are registered with.

New MEFAwards members: If you do not receive a password within 2-3 days of
sending in your questionnaire, email me at mefasupportATmefawardsDOTnet. I
will reply back with your password. Preferably, you should email me from the
email address you are registered with.

Authors from Previous Years: If you were nominated in 2009 or before, and if
you never joined the [MEFAwards] Yahoo group, then your account was deleted
at the end of the year when your story was nominated.

==> If you were re-nominated in 2010: you have a new author's account, but
with a different password than you had in previous years. You should have
used this password to tell us about your story. If you don't remember it,
request it using the same methods described above under "If you have logged
in before."

==> If you were *not* re-nominated in 2010, you no longer have an account.
You can vote for stories if you join the MEFAwards Yahoo group, once your
new account is set up.

****************************************

P.S. - Remember, all reviews must be entered into the
mefawards.net/MEFA2010/ website BY DECEMBER 15, at 11:59 PM GMT. Note that
this is *not* in your local time zone.

P.P.S. - If you have draft reviews and you want them counted, remember to
change them to hidden or final status by that same deadline. More on that
next week.

P.P.P.S. - Annmarwalk is sending out the reviews by email, using the
[mefa-reviews] Yahoo group and the [mefas] LJ community if you want to read
them using your friends' list.

*******************************************

Happy reviewing,

Marta
(MEFA Admin.)

Hi, Marta and everyone at the MEFAs. I really would like to get some votes
in, but my adoption journey is finally coming to fruition. In fact, I'm
leaving for Poland in 2 days! And I'll be gone for 6 weeks. But I'm glad
to see the MEFAs are still alive and well. Keep up the good work!
