Please read this carefully.
We are pleased to tell you that we have a new Membership feature, with Register, Login and MyAccount.
MyAccount is where you can see all your messages, change your advert and credentials.
As an existing user you already have an Account, identified by your Email Address.
Look at the top of this page to see your "logged in" details and the link to MyAccount.
A detailed explanation appears below, but in brief terms this removes our reliance on links within our Emails which have been causing problems for a small but increasing number of users.
Links within Emails will continue to be sent out, as they're the easiest way to access the system, and if you're happy with this then carry on as usual. You'll still get access to MyAccount.
The important bit
For those who have trouble with links, you can now access via Login and password.
You start by using "Forgotten Password" on the ForgottenPassword page
We send out an email immediately containing your password.
Step 1: Enter your Email Address.
Step 2: You will be asked for a security check. The security question will be "Simple" and the answer is "Needs".
Step 3. Now look for your email. We suggest you copy and paste the password as its a "strong" system generated password.
Step 4. We recommend you change your password to be more memorable, and change the security question and answer if you require the aditional security this offers.
That's it - hope you find it helpful.
We've done this to meet the needs of users who have difficulty with the links in the emails we send out, because increasingly some mail apps display the links in an unusable form.
You've been automatically Registered and now have a Member account, which you can access in MyAccount. Look at the top of this page to see your "logged in" details and the link to MyAccount.
You now have a choice:
If you're happy to continue using links then you need do nothing, you'll continue to be logged in as a Member on arrival, and have access to MyAccount features, without the need for passwords.
If you're not happy with links and want to use Login, then you'll need to obtain your password.
To obtain your password do the following:
First Logout, and you will be shown the Login page, where you will see the "Forgotten Password" link.
Follow the "Forgotten Password" procedure and you will gain access to your account via Login.
You can obtain your password anytime you like. Your links will keep on arriving via email just the same.
Years ago when we started out, we tried using just email links as they avoid the need for passwords, and for a long time, all seemed well. But now email links are becoming inceasingly unreliable for some Mail apps.
If you experience any problems with new Membership, please report them as usual.
You will only be shown this message once. If you wish to read it again, it will be available in MyAccount.
Thank you once again for using SimpleNeeds. We hope you're successful in your search.
