Updating Your Profile

You can change your information at any time. We will ask you to verify your identity before you can update your profile.

 

 

Retrieving and Changing Your Password

If you do not have, or have forgotten your password, click here to have it automatically emailed to you. You can change your password at any time.

 

 

Site Registration

Registration enables a user to register as a guest on the site by giving an email address and creating a password. Additional information provided on order forms is automatically saved to a registered guest’s profile. Site registration will not gain access with password protected areas of the site and should not be confused with DMI membership.

 

 

Logging In

The log in function (located on the left side of each page) enables DMI to know whether a user is a member or a registered guest on the site. Based on that information, we can:

  • Grant access to information on the site restricted to members or registered guests

  • Populate order forms with information in a user's profile

  • Determine the pricing to charge members versus nonmembers

  • Confirm transactions by email

Registration enables a user to register as a guest on the site by giving an email address and creating a password. Additional information provided on order forms is automatically saved to a registered guest’s profile.

Error Messages

Login Failed: This message appears when the e-mail address or password does not match what we have in your profile. If you are unsure what your password is, we can send it to you by e-mail. Just go to the Log In window and click on “Forgot your password?” If you still receive this message, contact the webmaster.

 

The log in function uses a temporary cookie to remember that you are logged in. If you are unable to log in it may be due to your computer being set to not allow cookies. Try allowing cookies to log in. The cookie is removed after you leave the site.

 

Payment Failed: Our website uses PayPal to process all payments. If the name and address you submit as your billing address do not match PayPal's records your payment may fail. You can go back and edit and resubmit your payment. We match all payments and orders. You will not be double billed.

 

.jsp error : On occasion while browsing a dynamic page will fail to load resulting in an error page stating ".jsp error" or similar. If this is the case click your back button and try navigating to the intended page again. This usually corrects the error.
