Dear all,

I am not sure if this is the "right" forum, but here it is (as a suggestion for improvement):

Would it be possible in the future to place a reminder for the meeting registration deadline that is the switch-over date for increased fees (Oct 15, 2014 this year)? I think it would be very helpful to have this appear on the main website.

I understand that we are all busy, but many of us have other jobs (e.g., to pay for meeting registration fees...), too, and this meeting info is somewhere hidden. 

By the way when I tried to register this morning the website did not let me go all the way "through" to be able to pay.

 

Sincerely,

Helmar (AHM)

meeting registration

 Dear Helmar:  I had a problem with online registration, But, after consulting my husband who helped me do it.

 He said all you have to do is type in all the information exactly as instructed and when you submit. It asks you if it is OK.  Once it said I didn't put things in right.  I was concerned that I wouldn't make the early registration and ask for a mail form. But, it got too late and I succeeded in registering. I assume that there will be a grace period for those having  problems. although I am not one to say that.  Best HNL

Description

Hello Will,

After filling out the whole page (I used Firefox as browser) to the best I could, I clicked submit. The page reverted to the same with some red wording on the top (I can't remember exactly what it said) - I assumed some info was still missing.

Some fields looked awkward, such as some "opt out" choices for the "mailing list to spouses" (e.g. remove vs. clicked?). I filled out some empty fields (maybe they wanted a "zero"?), but at the end, after "submit" again, the red text disappeared, but the page was stuck. I have a pdf screen dump if that would help you (I did not want to place it here as an attachment - if you want it, please let me know where to send it).

Thanks,

Helmar
