A few years ago we created a bulletin board facility on our website called the CSERA Forums. The CSERA Forums are based on an open-source bulletin board system called MyBB, which operates on our own website and is not a cloud-based system. Logins to this system are restricted to CSERA members. You must login to the CSERA Forums system in order to view or add any articles.
How Do Forums Work?
Forum topics and articles are grouped into categories such as Association Information, Association and CSE Events, In Memorium, Travel and Dining, and General Discussion. Some categories are maintained by the forums administrator, while others are open for members to post their own information for viewing and commenting on by other members. We encourage members to login and create their own postings about travel, dining, activities, and any other topics that may be of interest to members.
You can also view the list of members, the CSERA Newsletters, and minutes from executive and annual general meetings. Unlike most social media platforms, the CSERA Forums are private for CSERA members only.
How To Get a Forums Account
In order to login to the CSERA Forums system, you will need to apply for a logonid and password. You cannot self-register an account on the Forums system.
Send an email to the forums administrator at cseraweb@gmail.com to request an account. All we need is:
- Your full name.
- The email address you want your account to be associated with. This must be the same as the email address that is known to the Treasurer, for identification purposes.
- We will create your account and send your new logonid and password to you, along with some instructions about using the new system. The web team suggests you change your account password after your account is activated.
Once you are assigned a Forums login account, please take the time to read the CSERA Forums rules and regulations topic, located in the “Association Information” category. Rules and regulations for participating in forums are common on the internet, and are generally designed to make the experience pleasant for all members.
