First, many of you who actually read your opening welcome message, will not only have found the link to activating your entire account, but you will also find a welcome coupon there for $10 at the CMA store.
It never expires but can only be used once, on anything in the store except memberships.
Every year someone has a birthday. Go figure.
If you are reading your forum mails and emails, you may already know, everyone gets a coupon for the CMA store for their birthday. Generally at least $15 off, for any product excluding memberships.
If you have not used your birthday coupon yet, or never opened your mail (sorry, watch for it next birthday) you are going to lose it at the end of the year when it expires. A new birthday coupon will take it's place on Jan 1st.... so use it or lose it as they say.
If you have not been checking emails and messages from the forum, you may be missing out on these 2 discounts.
next...
Those of you who HAVE activated completely, I noticed the system is not automatically updating your member status. All this means is that if you are fully activated, your profile should say your an ACTIVE MEMBER... If your profile still says you are a NEW MEMBER, and you have made at least one post in the forums, please contact me so I can manually change your status.
This has nothing to do with whether you have access to all forums after posting, it only means I need to change your status, so when I ask the system to list only active members (perhaps I am getting ready to sen you something special) I need to know you are all in the proper list.
So please take the time to message me if your ARE an activated member (it is easy for me to check if you message me) and have not been updated to ACTIVE status on your profile. Also, if you are a member, but never fully activated, the system WILL delete you when I do cleanups, because it will still "think" you are not fully activated.
Also, if you are not fully activated, you can NOT add a signature to your profile, which is something all active members are able to, and should do for exposures. Fill out your profiles with all pertinant info about you and your businesses, if you want more exposure. No spam or shady links please!
Well I think that covers this for now..... READ THOSE EMAILS!!
