The registration form didn’t work—repeatedly said
I hadn’t completed the security section when I had and it had confirmed that I am not a robot! (Was trying to register for the virtual option.)
Hi Ruth, The same thing happened to me. I wound up calling Terry Anderson and signed up over the phone, for my online registration.
Hi Ruth I am sorry to hear you had problems registering. I see there were 7 people who registered in the last two days (4 for the online option). So I THINK the problem may be at your end. I wonder if you could find the time to try once more, and if it still doesn’t work, please send us an email with your phone number to web@naunitarians.org and we can arrange a time that we can walk through it together. I could register you myself but then we’d have to worry about exchanging the fee. A reminder that early… Read more »
Can’t wait! I’m going to be attending via Zoom, but when I tried filling out the form, I got to the credit card part, filled that out, clicked on the captcha box, which seemed to work fine, but there was then no “Submit” or anything else to click on to proceed. Suggestions?
Try emailing web@naunitarians.org
They should be able to help you through it
I am unable to successfully complete the registration form. I keep on getting an error message “Please correct the following errors in the form below.” No errors are noted in the error message and all the fields are filled in correctly. I have tried on two different days and on different computers.
The problem with the NAUA Summit registration page has been fixed. The Recaptcha (I’m not a robot) field was removed. Complete the form, click Review, review the registration and then Register.
It has been reported that people who attempted to register for the NAUA Summit and experienced a failure, have seen charges on their credit card statement for the failed attempt. People also reported that the charge for the failed registration was followed by an offsetting credit.
Please use the NAUA Contact Us form if you have problems or questions.
Hi Friends
Thanks for your patience. Our registration process worked fine for a month until the day before early bird rates ended (sigh…) then for an inexplicable reason it failed. We are working on restoring the Recaptcha tool (no spammers wanted at the Summit) but in the meantime we have extended the early bird rates till Sept 8. Over 100 registrants to date!! see https://naunitarians.org
I hope to see you there – live or on zoom.
