I am and have been a member of the STC for YEARS.  I tried to get on their
main site today (www.stc.org) only to find I did not know what my password
is/was. I selected the option to send me my login information and got an
html message that an error had occurred. So, then I selected the option to
reset my password and I got a message that the password has been reset, and
email will be sent to me, and to change the password after I login. Fine and
dandy.  Email never came and we're going on four hours now.

I sent a message through their website, explaining what I was trying to do,
and my frustration. I received a response that explained how certain
functions weren't working, blah, blah, blah, and that they were changing to
a new association management system, etc. Lots of excuses, but no answers.

I am just supposed to say "oh well, I pay all this money each year, but I
guess I can't access the site" and just shut up and go away? Should I cancel
my membership? The cost of membership is a tad high just to get 4 magazines
a year and no other benefit.

If a user sent me an email explaining how they could not open a PDF file
from my company, should I just respond, "yeah, I know - those PDFs have
problems" and leave it at that? That's the equivalent of the response I got.


Sorry this is off-topic (I did warn in the subject line). I feel better for
having vented.
