Members Help

Trouble Logging In?

If you are a current TPI member, your website account is set up. Your username is the first initial of your first name followed by your last name (e.g., John Doe's username would be "jdoe").

If you are a current member but do not have or recall a password for the Members Only section, first try using the "Request new password" feature on the login page. A password reset link will be sent to the email address we have on file for you.

If you do not receive an email, email Sierra Wilson to reset your password.

Once you have clicked the reset link in your email, you should be prompted to change your password.

Member Forum

On the Forums page, you can read or begin a discussion that will be accessible to all TPI members. 

If you’re not logged in, you will be taken to the login page first. See above for login help.

Once you are logged in and on the appropriate forum page, click “Post new Forum topic” near the top of the page to post your announcement. Once you have typed in your post, click the Save button to post your item to the forum.

Note: It may take several hours for email notifications to be sent out after you have posted to the forum. To make sure your post has been published, check the main forum page (e.g., TPI Members Forum), where all posts are listed. Yours should appear at or near the top. If it is not there, it means something went wrong and you need to post again.

To respond to someone else's post, click on that post in the list, then click "Add comment" at the bottom of the post.

Updating your Profile

To update your profile, first log in to the Members Only section of the website. Then click the My Account link in grey text at the bottom of any TPI webpage. Under the Profile heading, you will see your current directory information. To view your directory profile as it appears to other members, click View under the Profile heading. To edit your profile information, click Edit under the "Profile heading. 

A note about your directory bio: On the Edit page, note that the top box is for an extended bio that appears only in the online directory. The "Bio" box farther down the page is the short bio that will appear in the printed directory.

Once you have made all desired changes to your bio, click the Save button at the bottom of the page. Your directory information is now updated.

Forum Subscription Preferences

Once someone has posted in a forum, everyone subscribed to that forum will get an email notifying them within an hour of the post. You have the option of modifying how often you receive emails about posts to the Forum.

To modify your forum subscription preferences, click on the My Account link at the bottom of any TPI webpage, then click on the Subscriptions tab. On this page, click the Settings link to modify your subscription settings (e.g., how often you wish to receive notifications, and whether you wish to receive them individually or in digest form).
