Hello from Horseadvice.com,
Horseadvice has moved! Not to a new address but to a new content management system (CMS). For the user it will look about the same but underneath it is very different. Site address is the same. Your username and password are the same. Site organization is almost identical to the past, with the familiar menu system that leads down to related children topics to the pertinent article. As before there is a discussion area at the bottom of each article. The search engine will still deliver the most pertinent information at the top as before. However after that there is much that is improved.
Below we discuss:
- Improved site functionality and profile editing
- Your Membership Changes / Improved Membership Editing
- Entering your Payment Information (wait until Aug 3rd)
- It will take a few days to get it all straightened out
Improved Functionality
Horseadvice.com’s old content management system was becoming increasingly incompatible with modern internet standards, operating systems, and software programs. The new CMS addresses these deficiencies:
- The most up to date security systems insuring your profile as well as your account protection.
- A
much more integrated and responsive profile and accounting system so
you can better manage your membership and subscription.
- See all your posts in one place
- Set subscribed to forums and topics
- See new topic postings without searching
- other new features coming soon.
- See, edit, and update your account information.
- Upgrade or downgrade your subscription terms
Membership Change
Currently your active membership has been transferred to the new system including your username, password, email, and address. Also in your profile is when you joined, your last payment date, and your next renewal date. There is also a lost password link that will find your information as long as your email is current in our database.
We no longer have a non-posting level of membership, instead all members will be able to post from here on out. There are 3 membership options, one that renews yearly ($48.00), renews quarterly ($20.00), and renews monthly ($9.00).
Payment Information Needs to be Updated!
What has not been moved to the new Horseadvice is your payment information. The old system was very secure when it came to your payment information, making your payment details not portable. To continue your membership past your renewal date without interruption of service you will need to enter payment information. Note that this will take a few days to set up and get working so we hope to have this online by Aug 3rd.
Use this link <a href=”https://hastaging.com/my-account/add-payment-method/”> to go to Your Account’s payment information, login and enter your payment details. Your card will not be charged until your next renewal date.
Give us a few days to get things straightened out
It will take a few days to get everything straightened out, the secure socket layer, payment gateways and some secure links require time after going live to engage. In the meantime you should be able to log in and use the site’s information. You will know you are at the new location by the light blue background. Thank you for your patience with the move, we have been working on this update for over a year now and I hope it meets your needs even better than the old site, we really look forward to a more interactive and engaging experience.
