Thank you

Apply for a login to the TD/Affiliate Support Area, then you can edit it all you want.
Due to an email routing problem that is being worked on, instead of using the online signup form, you need to call or email Joan Dubois or Susan Kantor at the national office with the information needed to set up your account (give them 3 choices for a login ID).
“edit away” its easy to say but I cant find the “club information edit link”. I am an affiliate already and have found links everywhere. I am looking for the link that allows me to ad the meeting place times and other pertentent info concerning the club. I found password, contact, and e-mail edits but no [size=150]info edit link[/size]. please advise

On your affiliate page on TD/Affiliate the sixth link in the first column is Update Club Directory Information. This is what you want. If you can’t access that page, please refer to Mr. Nolan above.

my 6th link is “Pay for pending items” thank you, I will contact the office.
I have a hunch you are logging in as a TD instead as an Affiliate. The two are separate with seperate abilities.
The 6th item you reference shows up when I log in as TD. When I log in as the Affiliate I get the Edit link, which I just did to update our clubs info. We moved recently. So thinks for the reminder. 
On the TD/A page

the first options are below (numbers added by me for ease of reading this list). You can check this to see the two (or more) that are not showing up for you.

Are you logged in as a TD or as an affiliate? (If you have an entry for ‘Tournament Rating Reports’, you’re logged in as a TD.)
If I had it to do all over again, I’ve have set up two separate login areas, one for TDs and a separate one for Affiliates.
I resubmitted everything, are both TD and the affiliate logins the same if not, what would be my affiliate “log in ID”: I have the password it just provided.
Just like every TD and every affiliate can have just one unique membership ID, every TD and every affiliate can have just one unique TD/A login.
When you do things that TDs do (like submitting tournament rating reports), you do so using the TD’s login, when you do things that affiliates do (like updating the club information page or the list of TDs authorized to submit events under that affiliate ID), you do so using the affiliate’s login.
Always have a separate ID & Password for TD and Affiliate. It helps to avoid confusion. Remember to add to your affiliate a list of approved TDs that you will be using at your events, even possible TDs. As previously mentions TDs submit rating reports not affiliates, that is why it is important to have a fully updated list of approved TDs for your affiliate. The TDs can pay for submission, or release the (approved & completed) submitted rating report to the Affiliate for payment. Hope this helps you out.
Good luck with the new club. Last time I was in Houma was over 30 years ago for a tournament in the back room of a Chuckie’s Cheese.

The login ID’s HAVE to be different, each login ID must be unique and assigned to just one member or affiliate ID.
Most security experts recommend not using the same password in multiple places.
Personally, I never use password ‘wallets’. If your wallet is compromised, then ALL of your passwords are compromised.
Houma…Brings back fond memories of Festivals Acadiens et Créoles and hearing the late Beau Jocque playing Zydeco…Give Him Cornbread!
