www.folx.org - communicating folk music

Remember: you are not alone!

Anything confusing or not working for you? Don't know how to post a tune or a photo? Can't find content? Don't make life too hard for yourself! www.folx.org is meant to be as intuitive as possible, but: not everything's logical for everybody. It's probably better - and certainly more fun! - to get into touch with others to seek assistance...

So you could

• Post a message in the forum to ask for assistance, or

• Contact the administrator: stoney (at) euroots (dot) com

Some things you might find useful:

• How to become a member? On the left side, click on "Create account". A form appears, where you have to fill in your user name, have the possibility to write some facts about yourself etc., agree with the terms and conditions. When you're done, you'll get an email with your username and password - now you can log in.
• Login does not work?
  • First aid: use the one time login on this page - just insert user name, click "E-mail new password" and check your email for the one time login.

  • Otherwise, it might be your browser causing problems. Try another one, like Opera, as an alternative.
  • You could also just delete the browser cookies. See here.
  • If you need further help: just write an email to stoney (at) euroots (dot) com.
• Need a portrait photo for your profile? It's very easy to create one out of some photo you have on mypictr.com (max. size is 100x100px)
• Adding your photos, pages, recordings... it is not so difficult at all - see at the page "How to create content"!
