You must agree to the rules before registering.
When you register you will need to create a “user name” that

If You Are A Member and Cannot Login To The Site
If you are having problems logging in at the site, here are some
suggestions:
1. Make sure you are logging in (located near the top right corner
of the home page) with the proper user name and password - your password
is case sensitive, so make sure your caps lock button is not on,
and make sure you are not adding any spaces that do not belong in
your
user
name.
2. When you enter your user name and password, make sure you click
on the small box next to the login space called "remember
me" -
that will make it so you do not have to login each time you come
back to the site
3. If you are logged in properly and you still cannot post, if you
are a new member of the site, there was a confirmation email you
should have
received with a link inside that you either needed to click on or
copy and paste and put in your browser (where you type in a site
you want
to visit) - this email confirms your email address and then gives
you access to the site. If you did not receive the email, check your
spam
folder, as it may have been placed there. If you did not receive
it at all - email me back and I will finalize your registration for
you.
4. If you are already a member, and have posted in the past, and
cannot post now, try the following:
• if it shows you are logged
into the site, go to the bottom right hand corner of the home page
and "log out".
• then close the site
• then close your browser (meaning sign off the internet, whether
you use internet explorer, AOL, MSN, Netscape, etc...)
• once you are off the internet, you will then want to clear
your "cookies" -
if you do not know how to do this, don't worry, it is not necessary
but can be helpful
• go back to the internet and sign back on to www.ppecongress.com
• go to the login screen and type in your user name and password
and click on "remember me"
