Login Change - e-mail address to login

In the next few days as you login you will be prompted to use your e-mail address and password instead of your username and password. This change is being made for a number of reasons.

The biggest reason has to do with the forum being part of the RV Life family of sites. Many of us have accounts at other RV Life sites, specifically RVParkReviews.com. In time you will be able to login to the forum as well as other RV Life sites where you have accounts with the same login, simplifying things substantially.

We hope to have an enhanced mobile app available as well that will allow you to read and post on multiple RV Life sites where you have registered an account if you desire, although this is not yet fully developed.

Some other reasons:

• Username logins were case sensitive and often had punctuation that could be miskeyed or forgotten and has been a regular cause of login trouble.
• It's easier to remember your e-mail address then username for most folks.
• E-mail address are not visible on the forum but usernames (half of the login combo) are and so there is a little better account security.
  
• Your username will remain unchanged and display as usual next to your posts.

If you have trouble logging in with your e-mail address instead of username there will be some prompts on the login screen to help you and a link to update your email address if needed. This change will not affect Tapatalk logins.

Thanks in advance for your patience with these changes - we're working hard to improve security and keep the site easy to use.

how can I post a question / start a thread ??

lohewroller, First, welcome to the forum! To start a new thread, you would go the list of forum subjects, for exaple, "curious about Hi Los", click on that subject and at the top left it says "new thread", click that and follow prompts. Most questions you have, have been answered before, but somebody usually answers pretty quick.
It's camping season, so the forum is active.
Welcome aboard,
