The
Login page just repeats, so I cannot login
There
are a number of areas on the website that allow you to enter data, such as
the events page which allows you to create and amend details of an event
or fly-in, or the Classifieds page which allows you to enter details of
items you wish to buy or sell.
Before
you use these areas, we must know who you are. This is primarily to avoid
frivolous data entry that is unrelated to the BMAA. Often spam companies
use utilities such as these to advertise their products. You have probably
already received many emails advertising Viagra or Cialis, and it is this
type of spam that we are trying to avoid.
From
the Login page,
click the register link which will take you to the new registration page.
Please
note that you do not need to re-register if you have forgotten your
username or password. Instead use the Forgot username/password link on the Login page.

The
verification email – Why it is needed
When
you click the Register button on the registration screen, we will
immediately send you an email, which contains a link which you can click
to verify your registration.
Why
do we need to do this?
There
are two reasons
The
verification email – How it works
When
you receive the verification email it will contain a link which you can
click to verify your registration. When you click the link, it will bring
you to the BMAA website to a page which confirms your registration.
You
can now login using your username and password, and create events,
classified ads etc
Do
not receive the verification email?
This is probably the most
common issue members have when trying to register with the site. There
are a number of possible reasons why you didn’t receive the verification
email
1. You
mistyped your email address. Believe it or not, this is the most common
reason members do not receive the verification email, because it was sent
to some other address!
To
check this, go to the login page (Click the Guest link in the top right of
the BMAA home page) and login using the original login name and password
you supplied. You can then check the email address you entered and you can
change it if necessary and re-submit your registration.
2. Your
email system has a spam or junk filter in place which has caused the
email to be put into a spam/junk folder. Often email systems automatically
mark any email sent from a website as spam. Check the folder where
spam/junk email gets sent to see if the verification email is there. Also
check that there are no rules I place which delete spam/junk mail.
3. There
is a problem with your email system that is causing the verification email
not to be delivered.
Remember that email is
not a guaranteed, instant messaging system. Internet problems can
sometimes delay the delivery of mail. However, in the normal course of
events you should receive the email within no more than five minutes of
registering.
Important
note: If you contact our support desk regarding the issue of not receiving
the verification email, you will be directed back to this page, as
unfortunately there is nothing we can do other than suggest the above
three reasons why you have not received it.
When you register, you
will receive an email containing a link that you must click to complete
the registration process. A common problem is that on clicking the link
you see a message stating that the Verification Code is invalid. This
happens when you have submitted more than one registration for the same
email. Every time a subsequent email is sent out, it invalidates all
previous emails, so if you click a link in any email other than the latest
one you received, you will get this message.
Don’t
want to receive Event notification emails?
Remember that it was your
choice to receive them! However, you can turn this option off by logging
in to the BMAA website and then clicking on your username in the top right
corner of the screen. This will bring you to a page where you can edit and
save details about your registration.

Login Page just repeats, so you cannot Login
