Re: [44net] Dormant account warning

Morning All, Ok, an apology to those who received the 6 month warning, that was my mistake. I only meant for the 1 month emails to go out but forgot to untick the 6 month ones! Now, with regards to these emails: First of all DON’T PANIC !! Nothing bad is going to happen if you don’t login to the portal once a month, nor does anyone expect you to login every month if you don’t wish to. The email is just a reminder that the portal is there, so if you do happen to change any of your details you are more likely to remember the portal and update your details. We all receive the monthly emails from all the mailing lists we subscribe to, I don’t think it’s asking much to have one email a month in your inbox, which you can just delete if you don’t wish to read it, but at least you will have seen it and the portal, therefore, will be more likely to be remembered if you change your email the following month. The system is now setup to send emails once a month to anyone who has not logged for at least one month, if you haven’t logged in for at least 6 months the text of the email is slightly different, i.e. a bit more suggestive that you login, after 9 months the text warns you that your account will be de-activated if you continue not to login. After 12 months the email advises you that your account will be de-activated. So all you have to do is login once a year, as Brian said - not much of an imposition. You don’t even have to “do” anything except login, then log right back out again if you wish - there is no “updating” to do - we just need to know you’re still alive and interested in all things AMPRNet. If you don’t agree with these timings, or you feel the wording of the emails could be different, then by all means get involved in the process of developing the portal code. If you’re not a programmer, no problem - you can help test code, report bugs, write documentation, suggest improvements, etc. 73, Chris G1FEF
