do not worry about the time I took. I am a mild computer luddite. I signed up once years ago and it took a while to get started again.

Hey,
Thanks for all you do to make this hospitality opportunity available!

It would have been helpful to see a sample of what other people had written about themselves. I didn't know if I was writing too much or too little. Also would be helpful to know where and how many other warm showers locations are in my city. Am I the first? Am I one of 500? You obviously know all these answers, but as a newcomer I haven't a clue.

a little bit complicated because of the design i didnt find easy what and where i should do it

No problems at all, though I wonder if confirming a user's ID and password in the same email message is considered best practice these days?

I had a problem signing up but realized I was on warmshowers.com. Not sure why, when I checked country United States it just sat there and wouldn't let me continue. I then went to warmshowers.org and was successful.

Aucun souci pour m'inscrire, cela a été rapide et efficace.

I'm unable to host anyone right now, but I registered to be available to answer questions and provide advice (e-mail or telephone) about my region. Unfortunately, the pull-down menu for the number of people whom I am able to host did not have a choice for zero...

Processus clair et rapide..., bravo à l'équipe!

Hi there,
No problem with the registration. I also would like to mention the useful and friendly videos posted on the website. Thanks to all of you that make this network alive !

I didn't watch the video but it was easy. I don't use this site as much as my couchsurfing one, but still I like it. Simple. and easy.

I had no difficulty in signing up. My confirmation email arrived immediately! The information requested is the sort that I expected. Nothing unnecessary. Looking forward to using the site and making new friends!

My experience was great with signing up! I accidently went to a new page after I filled in the information so I had to start over, but that was my fault! :)

The number of people whom I am able to host is at least 1, which is contradictory to the possibility that I can choose not to host people at the moment.

Signing up with warmshowers.org was more than a little bit frustrating. I didn't get a validation email right away, or the second time I requested it, or the third or the fourth or the fifth. I gave up until I got an email threatening me with deletion. I responded in a fairly strong manner and did eventually get added. I suppose the squeaky wheel gets the grease, but there is not reason to make the process so difficult!

Thank you, Randy, for your kind assistance and offer to validate manually. I must have overlooked the first email but this one I caught and clicked. We are all IN now. We look forward to hosting in the future. Our business is Bed & Breakfast at the Twin Mansions and we have plenty of room for tents plus can offer complimentary full bath with shower AND laundry privileges. Always if we have guest room available we'll provide!

I did not watch the video on how to open an account. Had no problems signing up. Hope we can help someone someday.

I am telling the other groups I am part of, that this grassroots service exists. One group I am part of, a recumbent tricycle group, is spread out, as you might imagine.
I am proposing this as a means that we can travel to different parts of the country to visit.

Thanks for such an answer to prayer!

Hi! The signup was great, but one little thing.....I got booted back to the page in order to add a http:// tag to my website, even though I had a www tag.....really minor detail.

i watched the youtube vids first...although i don't think i would have had any trouble had i not done so.

Thanks

Michael

Thank you very much. The sign up was not too complicated for my wife and myself, especially as we are not expert computer users.

The signup process was just fine, but it contains a broken link. The very first instruction in the signup is: "right now, before submitting this form, please add wsl@warmshowers.org to your Spam whitelist. Instructions on how to do it on many email providers are here." The "here" link is "http://www.warmshowers.org/spam_filters" but it is broken

No problems at all. The whole process was very straight forward

very easy and straight forward..look forward too hear from some new cycling friends now and will upload some pics when i get around too downloading them,as ive not long got of the plane from bkk,and am very tired!!!

adrian

I found the process very straight forward. I am yet to post a photo but will get around to that job in due time.

Thanks, and how can I make small donation to cover costs
ron

I agree being able to offer a photo or two. Might even help the weary cyclist find a hard to spot home in less than
ideal conditions. Just a thought
I am looking forward to opening my home and hosting folks

your form was very good and quick! have you thought about being able to add photos on the host sites, might give the cyclist a idea of what is offered! thanks again!

No problems at all in setting up my account. Thanks for creating and supporting this network! -Alex

Good streamlined process.

The system did, however, require me to re-enter my password and complained about the URL format. The second effort on the password worked fine, as did the re-entry of the website URL (which I just re-typed *exactly* as before), so overall it was pretty smooth.

I have homes in Canada (summer) and Florida (winter) and have made both available for guests. When I tried to sign up with the second home, I kept getting rejected because the system already had my e address and password for the first home. Fortunately, I have a second e mail account and was able to resolve the problem eventually. It would be so much easier if you could provide for more than 1 host location for the same account.

I registered and it gave me some error message for the map locator and told me to start over. However, registration did go through, so I'll figure out the map locator thing as soon as I log in.
Good process otherwise.

setting the Geo location (rating of 5?) manually was not possible because at that time my new account was not yet confirmed. Everything esle was perfect; good job. Thanks!

Looking forward to perhaps giving back to fellow travelers.

Log in went fine, but I would have liked more info on personal security while I was filling it out, rather than afterwards. Concerned about filling in space with full name, address, phone number without any idea as to how protected that info is.

Thank you for allwowing us here in Kittery Maine to be part of your excellent program. We are older but healthy and love biking. First visitor will be very welcomed....and hopefully many more to follow. We also hope to be able to receive when we go out. Our goal one day is to do the coast to coast trip. Any idea for books to read?

The application process wasn't too painful, though I had to start over once. I am not sure if the system did not pull in province/state information for Argentina because I lost Internet connection about that time, or if there is none available. I wrote the state in with my city.

But my big complaint is that you sent my username/password combo in an email to me. Email is plain text and unencrypted. You should either generate a temporary password and send that to me for me to change in my profile, or not send the password in the email.
