Upcoming programs that you can register for appear on an programs calendar view or list view. Using the programs calendar, you can view program details and register for programs.
To view the details for a particular program, click the program name or the Show details link. To register for an program, click the Register button.
After you've clicked the Register button, follow these steps to complete your registration:
1. If you are not already logged in, enter your email address. If you are already logged in, your email will already be filled in (though you can change it).
2. If there are multiple registration types, you will be asked to select a registration type (Members or Non-Members).
Depending on whether you are logged in or not, some member-only registration types may not be available. If you are not logged in, but your email is already in the site's contact database, you will be prompted to log in. If your email is not in the contact database, you will be prompted to apply for membership.
3. Once you select a registration type (Members or Non-Members)and click Next, the main registration form appears.
Here, you fill out the registration form, and select additional program options, if any (e.g. meal preference, program sessions). If the programs is set up with a guest registration option, you can indicate the number of guests.
4. Once you are finished filling out the form, click Next.
5. What happens next depends on the payment method chosen when the program was set up.
· If only offline payment was enabled, then you will have the option of canceling or confirming the registration. If you click the Confirm button, an invoice will be emailed to you, and a registration summary will be displayed. From the registration summary, you can choose to view or pay the outstanding invoice.
· If only online payment is enabled, then a Pay online button will appear. Clicking the Pay online button will take you to the online payment screen.
· If both online and offline payment is enabled, then two buttons will be displayed: Pay online and Invoice me. Clicking the Pay online button will take you to the online payment screen for your payment provider. Clicking the Invoice me button will result in you being emailed an invoice – which you can pay online or offline – and a registration summary being displayed. From the registration summary, you can choose to view or pay (online) the outstanding invoice.
Paying once for multiple transactions
If you're registering for multiple programs, or joining as a member and registering for an program at the same time, you can make a single payment for the multiple transactions. To avoid paying separately for each transaction, follow these steps:
1. For each transaction except the final one, click the Invoice me button rather than the Pay online button.
2. For the final transaction, click the Pay online button and all your transactions will be combined into a single payment.
Viewing invoices and making payments
If you have any unpaid invoices, a message will appear after you log in at the bottom right corner.
To view or pay the outstanding invoice, click the link. You will be taken to the Invoices and payment tab on your member profile, where you can view and pay invoices, and view past payments. You can also access this screen by displaying your member profile then clicking the Invoices and payments link.
Invoices with open balances (unpaid or partially paid) will be shown at the top of the screen. To pay one or more outstanding invoices, click the checkbox beside the invoice(s) you want to pay, then click the Pay online button. If you have credits on your account, they will appear as payments that you can also select to apply against your outstanding invoices.
Once you click the Pay online button, you will be taken to an online payment screen where you can enter your credit card details.
You may also receive invoices via email. If you click the View invoice online link within the emailed invoice, you can view and pay the invoice online without logging in.

Depending on your privacy settings, your albums may also appear on your public profile which members can access by clicking your name within the member directory.
Viewing member photo albums
To view a photo album, you click the album name or cover. Thumbnails will be displayed for each photo in the album. If there are more than 60 photos in the album, links will appear at the top-right and bottom-right of the page to allow you to scroll through the album pages.

You can search for members by entering a search string in the Search field, or you can click the Advanced search link to search using a combination of different search criteria. If you don't know the last name of the person, searching just with the first name will bring up every member with that name.
From the Privacy tab on your member profile, you can control whether your profile is viewable by others, and if so, which fields are viewable by members and non-members. If you set your profile to private – by unchecking the Show profile to others option in your profile – you won't appear in the member directory at all. Other members won't able to find you or contact you.
