Migrating to FTH4

Your club admin received the instructions to update their admin password to access FTH4. (FTH3 admin passwords will NOT work in FTH4). Follow the instructions in the email and use 'Member sign in' in the top right corner to access the Club Admin account.

If you are not sure who the club admin is, in your member account; look at 'Club Officers and Members' > "Club Email addresses". The LAST item in this list is the person who is currently listed as your club admin.

If this is not correct, please complete and submit this form to change your club admin:

My "New Member Welcome" is not working properly

9 years 10 months ago

I have been the administrator of our SoDak 224 Toastmasters website for 2 years. Today, I added a new member and tried to send a New Member Welcome email. I changed the necessary information inside the brackets. I "saved" it. It was sent. But when the email was received, all the bracketed areas were blank. I have done this many times before without any problems. But today, every time I tried to send a New Member Welcome, the email that arrived had only blank spaces. I have no clue as to what has happened. Nor do I know how to fix this. Who can help me out? Here is the link to our website: 224.toastmastersclubs.org/

You shouldn't change the variable names in the brackets - the system uses those to substitute the actual values for your club and the member

Change the first section to this:
Code:
Hello {{firstname}}: Welcome to the {{clubname}} club website. The URL of this website is {{WEBURL}}

Change your signature to:
Code:
----------------------------------- {{adminname}} {{clubname}} Website Administrator

Thanks so much. I feel like an "idiot." I knew that. I've done this dozens of times before. So I don't know why I did what I did today. I must be getting too old and tired! :-) It is now fixed and working properly.
