We are rolling out our New Event Registration system
on Friday September 23, 2016 12:38PM
We are now live with our new Event Registration System. We have been testing it for 3 weeks with both paying and non-paying events and with members and non-members. Most feedback is that it is very easy to use, and not prone to errors and breakages. It also works fine on both computers and mobile devices.
Most Red links to Sign Up! will now direct you to the new system which occurs on https://new.fbyc.net/. You will be required to log in using the same credentials that you use on the traditional - Legacy web site.
I encourage everybody to register with the new system using the Red Sign Up! links. But if you have trouble, and to ease the transition to the new system I have placed a grey link to a Legacy Sign Up! next to each red link that will use the traditional system.
The registration process also requires that you go through 3-4 steps, like a modern shopping cart, wehre you enter and submit Personal Data, then Boat data if any, and then Items to Buy if any and then you can review your final Registration before you Submit Final Registration. If you see an error on the Review Page, you can use the Tabs at the top to go back to the incorrect page and Subit it again. If you discover an error after Submit Final Registration, we can change it pretty easily. The attached image tries to show that process in one spot.
If you register for an event that requires payment, you should know we have a new credit card processing system. We now use a system from www.stripe.com that securely processes your debit or credit card data from your browser directly to Stripe in a way that means FBYC never sees or stores your card data. The second time you use Stripe, it may send you a 6 digit Stripe verification code which you enter in lieu of your card data. Both these processes will be new and so please expect to see an unfamiliar "dark background" payment window open on your browser, as shown below, where you enter the card data.
Let Strother know if you run into any issues so we can refine the process for the 2017 Event year.
