A Note From Janel


Welcome to the new website!  As many of you know we had some problems with the website this summer and I have built this one to take its place.  While the content is the same, there are many things that have changed behind the scenes that will make the website easier to maintain.  Some things to keep in mind:

  • You will need to request a new password.  While I was able to transfer all of the user records, I was not able to transfer the passwords.  Use the links near the bottom of the screen to get your new password via email.  There are also new options in each user profile for receiving email updates about current events in the Reno or Las Vegas areas.
  • Yes, there is still a lot of stuff missing.  Yes, I am working on adding it all back.  I'm trying to add current stuff before working on the older stuff.
  • Our webhost has upgraded their servers to give us more storage capacity for a lower fee.  That means members will now be able to post photos in the forums and their profile.
  • Converting to the new database allowed me to change the membership expiration dates to match the old system (end of year instead of one year from signup) so you may notice that your expiration date is different.
