Tip of the Week!

#56) Did you know that there is an easy and automatic way to get your login name and password if you are a new ClubRunner user or have forgotten your login credentials?


To retreive your password:
1) Click on the "Login" tab

2) On the Members Login page, click on the link "Forgot your password?"

3) On the Get Password page, type in your last name and email address.

4) Click on "Get Login Info"

5) Check your email for your default username password.

Our system will perform a security check by matching the last name submitted with the email address provided. If the email address we have on file (either inputted by your club director or imported from the District) is different from the one you provide, this method will not work. In this case, you will have to get your username and password from ClubRunner Support.

Tip #51: Did you know that you can track website statistics?

It is always nice to be able to keep track of the amount of traffic your website receives as it gives you a good sense of how popular your website is. Keeping track of the amount of hits your webpages receive is an easy process. Although there are many third party tools available, we recommend using Stat Counter. This is a free service that many of our customers use and can be found at http://www.statcounter.com/.

If you do choose to install StatCounter, make sure to select the "HTML only counter", so that you will be able to paste the code into your articles or stories on your ClubRunner website. Doing so will allow you to gauge the popularity of your stories and articles at all times!

Please note, Stat Counter is a third party tool that has no affiliation with ClubRunner.
