Why is my document link showing a 404 Not Found error?

The problem is probably due to the file name. Check for double-spaces between words in the file name. The editor has an automatic clean-up function that trims out double-spaces when you click Save. Thus, the link gets broken.

1. Rename the file on your computer. Take out the spaces - replace them with dashes or underscores.
2. Re-upload the file to the website using the Upload > Docs page.
3. Navigate to the page containing the broken link, and correct the link to match the new re-named file. Save your changes.

Member Accounts

How do members create login accounts?

The login box in your sidebar contains a link titled "Create an account." Members may click on that link to register for an account. The registration page asks them to create a username and password. When they submit their information, a notification email is sent to the admin address of your site, admin@www.www.kleidaras-konta-mou-kleidaras.gr.

The registration page does nothing when I submit my information.

The system probably requires a stronger password. Please start over and enter a new password at least 8 characters in length, containing a couple of numbers.

How do I activate the accounts?

You must open the activation emails and click on the activation link to confirm that person's account. They will not be allowed access to the Members Only section until you have clicked the activation link. This action saves the person's information in the website database. The system will send a Welcome email to the member once you have activated their account.

1. Go to the login form on the Members Only email page, usually found under Resources > Email.
2. Enter your full admin address (admin@www.www.kleidaras-konta-mou-kleidaras.gr), and webmail password. Login to webmail.
3. The control panel gives you a choice of email programs to use, such as Squirrel Mail. Click on one of these options to view your inbox.
4. Open the member activation emails and click the activation links.
5. Set up a forwarding email address to forward mail to a personal address for your convenience. Then you won't have to login this way again.

What if a member forgets his/her password?

Below the "Members Login" form you'll find a link titled "Forgot your password?" Click on this link and follow the steps to reset your password.

Go to the Admin > Members page in the admin menu. This page lists the member accounts registered on your site, and allows you to delete accounts.

Why am I getting account requests from names I don't recognize?

Spammers will occasionally happen upon your website and submit the registration form. They will not have access to the members-only section unless you activate their account. However, their name still shows up on the members list, because the system logs their initial request. You can simply ignore the email messages and delete them from the members list, and they'll never get access.

Newsletter

How do I create an e-newsletter?

Begin at your Newsletter main page. Click on "Start New Newsletter" and select a template to work with. Your newsletter editing environment is the same as your website editing environment, with the same edit button and editor window.

How do I send an e-newsletter?

From the Sending Options screen, choose a mailing list and click the "Send" button.

Can I test the newsletter before sending it for real?

Yes, you can send it to the Test List, which should contain your own email address, and thus send the newsletter to yourself for testing.

Can I have multiple mailing lists?

Yes, you can have multiple mailing lists, such as a Public List for supporters, and a Members Only list for members. We have set up a few lists for you so that all you have to do is add email addresses to them.

How do I start a new mailing list?

If you need something besides our ready-made mailing lists, you can create a new one by going to your Newsletter main page, clicking on "Manage Subscribers" ... then "Mailing Lists" ... and finally the "add a list" button. However, you will need to manually add subscribers to the new list, because there will be no sign-up form on your site for it.

How do people sign up?

We've made two sign-up forms for your site. One is for your Public (Main) mailing list, and can be seen on your public pages. The other is for your Members Only mailing list, and is only visible if you're logged in. The mailing lists basically manage themselves. A visitor submits their name and email address using the sign-up form, and then newsletter system sends them an email containing an activation link. Clicking the activation link in the email tells the newsletter database that they are "confirmed" and that it's OK to send newsletters to them.

There are email addresses in my Main list that look like spam.

Those most likely represent spam robots that signed up for newsletters thru your sign-up form. However, if you see a red X in the Confirmed column, it means they are NOT confirmed, and no newsletters have been sent to them. You can delete those addresses from the system by clicking the "del" link in the delete column of the Subscribers list.

What if a subscriber isn't getting any newsletters?

There a few possibilities:

1. It could be that they forgot to click their activation link. Check the list of subscribers on your "Manage Subscribers" page to see if that person is "confirmed." If you see a red X in the "confirmed" column next to their email address, they have not been confirmed. You can ask them to find their activation email and click the link, or you can manually set them to "confirmed" on their subscriber details page. To do this, click on their email address. On their details page, enter the number 1 (meaning "yes") in the field with the caption "Is this subscriber confirmed." Click "Save changes."
2. They may not be signed up on the correct mailing list. Find and click on their email address on your "Manage Subscribers" page. On their Subscriber Details page, scroll down to the Mailing List Membership section and see which of the mailing lists is checkmarked. Checkmark the correct one and click "Save Changes." If you suspect that the sign-up form on your website is pointing to the wrong mailing list, please contact support@myconnectedaccount.com and we'll fix it for you.
3. Their email address may be invalid. See "Why is my newsletter marked as inprocess?" below.
4. In rare cases, they may have been blacklisted. This only happens if the address is manually blacklisted by you, or if the newsletter database receives a "hard bounce" response from that email address... i.e., the address could not be found. You can take the address off the blacklist by going into their Subscriber Details page and clicking on "Subscriber History." This page will show you which newsletters had bounced from this address, and will give you the option of restoring it to the mailing list.

How do I keep track of who is signed up?

Go to your Newsletter main page and click on "Manage Subscribers." You'll see a list of all your subscribers and you can click on any email address to see more details. You can more readily see who belongs to your Public (Main) List and your Members Only List by clicking on the "Mailing Lists" link on the "Manage Subscribers" page.

Why is my newsletter marked as "inprocess"?

This happens when there are invalid email addresses in the targeted mailing list. The newsletter was sent to the good email addresses, but got hung up on the invalid ones. Check your Subscribers list for email addresses that contain typos, such as duplicate "@" signs, or blank spaces. Make any necessary corrections, and click Save Changes. Then the system should resolve itself and send the Newsletters to the remaining addresses. If you have trouble finding the problem, ask support@myconnectedaccount.com to investigate.

How do I keep track of bounced email?

Begin at your Newsletter main page and click on "View Reports." You'll have instructions on the next page to tell the database to check for bounced emails. When the database has counted the bounced newsletters, you can review a list of problematic email addresses. You can correct spelling or delete email addresses if necessary. The database will automatically "unconfirm" - but not delete - email addresses that bounce five times in a row.

Why does email bounce?

Email messages can bounce for several reasons:

• mailbox full: the subscriber needs to clear their email inbox. They may be able to receive your newsletter next time.
• user/alias doesn't exist/not found: a misspelled address, or a deleted email account on the subscriber's end
• mail server temporarily not available: server probably down
• mail server permanently not available: server down for a long time, or unable to communicate with your server
• domain/tld unresolved / doesn't exist: a misspelled domain name in the email address, or a non-existing domain
