It is important to understand that the SFWA website has two different areas, the membership profile page (used for renewals, donations, event registrations) and the SFWA Discussion Forums. However, due to a new upgrade, you will be able to access either of those systems with the same username/password combination.
Membership Profile Page
My username and password are correct, why can’t I log on?
Typically, this is related to your setting for cookies. The SFWA website requires accepting two third-party cookies. If the website keeps returning you to the same page, without letting you login, then this is almost certainly the problem. We have a tutorial on how to adjust your browser, safely, to allow using the main SFWA site.
SFWA Discussion Forums
My username and password are correct, why can’t I log on?
Again, this is usually related to cookies.
- Go to the SFWA Discussion Forums
- Scroll to the bottom of the page
- Click “Delete all board cookies“
- Shut your browser completely and restart it.
- Return to the Discussion Forums and try again.
