WOW!!!
I just looked at ssa.org and my head is spinning! I guess you gotta be
a teenager with a cell phone grafted to your arm to appreciate that.
I tried "Member Locator" under "News" and didn't find it. I finally
found the member locator by starting at "members.ssa.org" then "My Home
Page" then "News"
My original password worked for that.

Try this:
Â*From the new SSA homepage, mouse over the "Membership" tab. This
brings up three options and you want the "Members" Only
Resources." Go
down to "Member Services" and click on that. This will bring you to a
page with "SSA Member Resources." Click on the "Log In" button. That
brings you to a login page, for which you use your "old" login info.
Login and you will be greeted by your name. Go to the "Home Page" and
you will now be in the old SSA website links (the underlay to the new
webpage) and will be able to find info you are familiar with across
the board - the "old" racing menu, records, calendar, Johnson Report
access, etc. As time goes on, the front page should eventually
provide
a smooth interface to all this.
With newfangled web programming it may look different to different
viewers, but I don't see a membership "tab". In the drop-down menu
(the
three lines icon in the upper right) there is a "membership" entry. If
I click on it I get a page with nothing useful. If instead I click on
the drop-down arrow on the right end of that "membership" line, I see
"Members Only Resources". If I click on that, it drops down a submenu
of three items: Soaring mag, member locator, and sailplane
directory. I
don't see "Member Services" anywhere.
And in any case, why build a "new website" that is just an annoying
overlay over the old website?
If anybody's listening, here's what I'd like to see:
* a "site map" page with links only (no "media")
* one login that gets you to *everything*
* an option to "remember me" so you don't have to login every time
* let me choose a short password I can remember
* no "Captcha"
I did the following:
Go to https://members.ssa.org/login.asp.
This asks for member ID and password.Â* My information is the same as
it has been for years. ID is my membership number and then my old
password.
This gets to SSA Member Resources.
Select My Home Page
That gets to much of the original SSA home page. Not all the links
are there, but the ones important to me, and contest pilots, are all
there and functional.
Some things have not worked. When I have found glitches I have
advised Frank Whiteley. He has been very responsive in trying to get
them resolved.
When a few of us were consulted last Fall we advised not to mess with
the stuff deeper in the site that works because that all is very
involved and no doubt beyond what the web site developer consultant
will be able to do. My advice was to get the new face working with
absolutely the least effect on the underlying functions as possible.
It appears that the current situation does the latter.
FWIW

Thanks Hank.Â* That does work for me.Â* I've now bookmarked that login
page, and also this one in case it remembers my login:
https://members.ssa.org/MyHome.asp
Well apparently it does NOT remember my login.Â* Even though this is the
"old web site" section, and the real old web site did remember my login.
Â*So bookmark the login page UH pointed to.Â* At least my browser
remembers my username and password for that login page.
And yes "member locator" is under "News", after you go to "my home
page".Â* As are "sailplane locator" and "webinars"...
