Registering to use Employers Forum for the first time

How do I register for Employers Forum?
To register, go to the Lobby and click on the Login icon (or login text link) on the forum menu section. This will bring up the login window. Click red link "Click here to register to create an account" to bring up the registration form. Complete and submit the form to create a new account, then log in. Here are some important tips for registering for the Employers Forum:

You mailed me my password already. Why do I need to register?

The password we mailed to you is for the Subscribers Area of HRhero.com, which has an archive of thousands of Employment Law Letter articles, statutes, regulations, Special Reports, and more. To access the Subscribers Area, go to www.HRhero.com/lc/. With this password, your User Name is usually a bunch of numbers. In order to use all of the features of the Employers Forum, you need to register and choose a name that will identify you on the Forum.


Logging in the Employers Forum

How do I log into Employers Forum?

You must first register for the forum before you may log in. If you've already registered, you can log in by clicking the Login icon on the forum menu.  If you would like the forum to remember your login for you so you don't have to log in repeatedly, check the box that says "Remain logged on when I return later."

I log in with the correct Forum Screen Name and Forum password, but it takes me to the Forum without logging me in.

This usually means your computer isn't accepting a "cookie" from our website. A cookie is a tiny file that most websites put in your computer when you visit them. The cookie allows the Forum to remember who you are when you move from page to page, or when you come back to the Forum tomorrow. Without cookies, the Forum can't tell that you're the same person who logged in on the previous web page.

For privacy or security reasons, some computers reject all cookies. But you need to accept our cookie in order to use the Forum. To find out how to change your cookie settings, use the Help feature of Internet Explorer (or Netscape, etc.).

When I log in, I get an error message that says "Sorry, your login was not successful" and talks about "Case Sensivity" and "Transposing the User ID."

This means you're in the Login section for the subscribers area of HRhero.com, not the Login section for Employers Forum. Login to the Employers Forum at www.hrhero.com/employersforum/.

I'm an Employment Law Letter subscriber and I'm trying to log into Employers Forum with my HRhero.com Login, but it's not working!

The Employers Forum login is separate from the HRhero.com Subscriber login. All forum users must first register (no additional cost) so you can choose a screen name, then log in with your chosen Forum Screen Name and Forum password. See How do I register? for more information.

I've forgotten my Forum password. What do I do?

Employers Forum will e-mail you a new Forum password if you know your Forum Screen Name and e-mail address.  Simply click "Click here to retrieve your Forum password" in the forum login process.

I've forgotten my Forum password AND my Forum Screen Name. What do I do?

E-mail us at custserv@mleesmith.com and let us know you are trying to log into Employers Forum. We'll need to know your e-mail address and we can look up your Forum Screen Name for you.  However, Forum passwords are encrypted for security reasons, so once we send you your Forum Screen Name, you'll need to try logging in again or have the forum send you a new Forum password. Once you receive your new Forum password, you can log into the forum and change your Forum password back to something easy to remember.
