I tried to reinstate a former member. I moved the entry for Kevin Chapman ACB from Former Member list (where his email was madpiper@mountprospect.com) to Members List. I modified his name to match as entered in the Roster on Toastmasters.com (J Kevin Chapman DTM) and changed his email to match as entered in the Roster on Toastmasters.com (jkchapman@mountprospect.com). I saved my change and got a "Invalid/Non-functioning E-mail: jkchapman@mountprospect.com (No advertised SMTP servers are accepting mail.)" error.
What did I do wrong? Not saving the entry moved from Former Member to Member before I tried to modify it?
I see instruction with the message: "However, you only need to enter each person's name below--e-mail address & phone are optional" but if I leave off an email, a 'noemail-1589056757@toastmastersclubs.org" is generated.
Then I see these directions on Membership Management page say
" An E-mail address should be entered if the person has one, but is not technically required."
' • This will allow current members ONLY to select their name from the list of members and authenticate via e-mail.
• Once authenticated, they can update their own basic information via their member profile."
I always assumed that Admin, or one of the officers given access to Membership management, had to enter person's name and at least email address (from Roster after application entered) so that person is included in the Members-1645 list. I never thought to require them to update their Profile immediately. (I suspect many newer members haven't touched their Profile, unless it was to add a photo or TI logo.)
BTW, J Kevin Chapman belongs to another D30 club Career Communicators which does have a FTH website. Does his email address on that site match the one I tried to enter? (Can a dual member use different email addresses or even names sharing the same TI member ID?)
