FAQs
1)    Login
a)    I previously tried to log and it didn’t work.  An auto-response email was inadvertently sent before it was active.  Use the newly sent email to log in.  Username and Password should be the same but now activated.
b)    I am still having problems logging in.   Make sure you are typing the exact letters and numbers, as it is case sensitive.  Best to copy and paste.

2)    Directory
a)    My photos are not uploading onto the site.  The photo size and file size are over the maximum allowed.  See maximums on Directory entries.
b)    Map is not showing up on directory page or in the wrong location.  You must fill in the latitude and longitude, which can be obtained in several sites.  An easy on to use is http://www.robogeo.com/latlonfinder/map.asp
Zoom in as close as possible and double click on the map at your location.  Coordinates will show in the upper top right of page.  Copy and paste into input fields.  Make sure to copy exacting with only the one decimal on each and the minus sign on the longitude.
c)    I have a Chamber “Individual Membership” select the Individual Category only.  This membership level is granted contact information only. Full description information is only allowed for Business memberships. The administrators will be monitoring listings and corrections, which will be manually made.  So save us time and don’t add extra information or upgrade your membership by calling or emailing the Chamber Director.
d)    The categories don’t include my business type.  Submit an appropriate category (s) to the Chamber Director and it will be added.

e)    How do I add or remove a category for my business?  Select a category by highlight one of the choices.  Then click on the “add” >>> button.  Note the id number added to the right.  Highlight another choice and click "Add" again.  To remove a category, highlight the id number and click “remove” <<<<< button.

3)    Calendar
a)    Why doesn’t my calendar item show on the calendar?  All items must be approved/disapproved by an Administrator before showing up on the calendar.  Call the director if it is not posted in a timely matter.
b)    Try to fill in as much information as possible on the input form, especially the “contact name” and “contact email or phone”.  The chamber will not be responsible for answering all questions on events & meetings.

The Greater St. Francisville Chamber of Commerce website will be adding new features shortly.  Read your Chamber newsletter for upcoming additions.  If you are not a business member but would like to receive the full benefits of this site, please call or email the Chamber Director for information on upgrading your membership.
