To request member access, go to the Membership box on the right side.
Neighborhood Link (NL) hosts our website, which includes both public and private areas. The separate private areas can be accessed only by members.
For access to the private areas, NL has separated the "sign-in" and "request for member access" functions.
The Sign-in function is for use by members once they are registered. Members can come to our site, sign-in with User Name and password, and immediately have access to the private area.
If the non-member starts with the Sign-in function, however, there can be a problem. Sign-in allows the user to register with NL generally; but after such registration, there still is no access to the private area of our website. This is because access to the private areas is only via "Request member access" in the Membership box on the right side..
The solution, then and always, is simply to go to the Membership box on the right side and “request member access.” That is the only way for a user to gain access to our private areas.
Key: if the non-member starts in the right side Membership box (without using the Sign-in in the Welcome box), then he can enter all his information and be linked to our site in one straight-forward process.
