Updated Information About Registering for and Accessing the Members Only Section and Forums |

Don't be shut out...
|
All BTCA members with a valid email address (who have not already registered) are encouraged to register as soon as possible (see below).
As it will take time to get used to the new software and to recruit the necessary volunteers for management/moderation of
different forums, we have started off with a conservative approach.
The Members only file section contains the following:
- Board Business Pages
- The Borderline (as soon as the next issue is available)
- Extraction from the Connections (this is limited member information only) --
next year your renewal form will allow you to select what information you want to appear in the printed Connections directory,
the on-line directory (on the public site), and the on-line Connections on the members only site.
The Members Only Forums has the following forums:
- Board Announcements
A place where the BTCA Board members may post information to the membership.
It is not a discussion Forum but should be considered a Bulletin Board.
- Border Barks
A place for BTCA members to share and discuss items of general interest to the club membership.
- Legislative Alerts
A place to post legislative activity that may have a negative impact on responsible owners and hobby breeders while doing nothing to address the real issues

Registration General Information
In the case of households with one email address but multiple members, each member will be able to set up their own User ID.
In order to allow members to pick their own user name and password, sign-ups will need to be authorized and activated.
This process normally takes less than 24 hrs but registrations submitted on a Friday may not be activated until the Monday.
If you have changed your email address since you joined or renewed, please contact Joyce Kirn (TowzieTyke@comcast.net) and Pam Dyer (nomad@coovara.com) with your current email address.
Registration Process
- Go to www.btcoa.org/forums
- Select REGISTER
- This will take you to an agreement page which you must read and accept.
- This will then take you to a typical sign up page with a confirmation code that must be entered.
If you cannot see the code, try doing a right click on the "X" and select, show picture
Please note, that your username and password are case sensitive
- Once you have submitted your registration, your access will be on hold pending authorization and activation.
- Once authorization is complete, you will receive an email from the Web Committee advising you of activation.
- Once authorization is complete, you will be able to access the Members only file section at www.btcoa.org/members_only.
- You will also be able to access the Forums either via www.btcoa.org/forums or the link under the site map on the members only page.
- It goes without saying that the Forum and the Files section are a work in progress.
With sincere thanks for your patience and cooperation
BTCA Web Site Committee
