Question: Why am I having trouble logging in? The site won't seem to accept my username or password?

Answer: There are several things that you need to check. We will work through them in order.

Start by clicking on the "forgot password" link which is found next to the login button.

  • EMAIL USERNAME/PASSWORD - Use this utility if your email address has NOT changed from what you registered with. Our system will email you your password within a minute. If you do not receive it, your email address has likely changed from what is on your registration form.
  • DISPLAY USERNAME/PASSWORD - Use this utility to display your information on your screen. You will have to answer two security questions you selected during registration (this retrieval system is not case sensitive). IMPORTANT: If your email address has changed since you registered and you have not updated our system, you will need to use your old email address to use this utility. Update your email after login.
    NOTE: This system was implemented in Sept 2005, so if you did not enter security questions on your registration, this utility will not work. After obtaining your login information, please update your registration and add your security questions.
  • STILL HAVING TROUBLE? Click on the contact us link and email us to help. We will review your account and email you your username and password.

Question: I share my computer (wife or colleague) and when I try to login, it comes up under the wrong account

Answer: The problem is that one of you saved the password to our system and/or in windows.

 

There are two things you can try. First, simply try and open a new browwer. You may be able to login through the new brower without a problem.

 

If that does not work, you will need to clear your temporary internet files, cookies and history (this will not wipe out anything you need, it will just make your browser run better).

Enter the meeting URL and click next

Click the option for GUEST and put your name in – please type Dr. (your last name) and click Enter

To the left of the meeting room are four small icons.

1.    The first one is square  - this brings you back to this main meeting room view
2.    The second one is a circle -  this maximizes the large center pod that is the powerpoint presentation
3.    The third one looks like a piece of paper with a folded corner – this is inactive
4.    The fourth one is a question mark in a circle – this opens the Q & A chat with the moderator – once you click on it, put the cursor in the long white box at the bottom, type your question and use the left pointed arrow in the lower right corner of the onscreen keyboard to send the comment.  Click done to return to the Q & A screen, and then the first icon to return to the meeting room.
