1: Why Verify Your Account

Why We Ask You To Verify Your Account:

For each of the types of account we request that you verify your email address – This is for two main reasons:

1) Security – It helps to limit the chances of false accounts & profiles being created on the map via ‘Web-Bots’.

2) For you – it ensures that no spelling mistakes have been made when adding your email address (this has been known, even by members of our team when testing the process!) and it also helps you to ensure that messages come into your inbox and not your junk mail.

Please Note – we do not share your email address, we do not sell information to anyone, we do not send spam emails. If you have chosen to sign up to our newsletter – you will get that. Otherwise the only emails you will get from us are things like: reminders to check and update your profile

Verifying your email address

1 You will now see a screen that asks you to verify your email address.

  • The verification email may take a couple of minutes to come through & occasionally it may go into your Spam or Junk mail folder so this is worth checking.

 

2 If however you do not receive it please click on the link to request another email.

Activating your account

 

The email will look similar to this

1 You can either click on the button

or

2 Click on the visible link or copy the link into your browser.

Note: The verification link will show the ‘https://adoddle.org….. web address (URL*) .

We give you the option so you can choose which you are most comfortable with as our research has shown that more and more people are cautious about clicking ‘Button Links’ where they are unable to see the full URL.

 

* URL – Uniform Resource Locator – Every webpage has its own unique URL, a bit like a house number and postcode

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We are committed to making everything we do as accessible as possible, to as many people as possible. Our team always listens to feedback and if it is something that we can do, we will. Sometimes we are able to make changes immediately, at other times it may be a 'bigger' piece of Tech development, or we may need to do a piece of research first and it may take a little longer, and then there will be times when it is something that we can't do and for that we apologise.

Please Note Regarding Grammar & Accessibility:

Feedback from those with different abilities suggests that the use of punctuation can help them with reading and understanding. Therefore, our content and layout may not always be grammatically correct, we are doing this purposefully - working towards making it accessible for all.

Feedback? IF you have feedback or suggestions as to how we can improve this guid, please email hello@adoddle.org

Our team always listens and appreciates your feedback.

If you have feedback or suggestions as to how we can improve this guide, or the aDoddle Community Maps then please do get in touch. We genuinely do listen and all respectful feedback is appreciated.

We would also love to hear from you if there are things that you like or love about the maps or guides - it is wonderful for our team, who are mostly volunteers, to hear the good things as well and for them to know that their hard work is making a difference.

Thank you in advance for getting in touch.
