Question 1

How do I know where to find what I'm looking for on the CQC website?

Accepted Answer

Information is found on the page that corresponds to the topic of interest. Look at the menu at the top of the page for the topic you are interested in. Certain links and forms are located within the Members Only page (accessible in the menu at the top of the page). You must have active CQC membership and log in to access these pages.

Question 2

The CQC general meeting Zoom link used to be on the Meetings page and now I cannot find it. How do I join the Zoom meeting?

Accepted Answer

Since the Zoom meeting is only available for members, the link can be found under Members Only, on the Meeting Info & Links page. You must have an active membership and must log in with your email address to access this information.

Question 3

I used to find the newsletters under the Membership menu. The Newsletter Archive is not there now. Where do I find newsletters?

Accepted Answer

Earlier newsletters are still available on the Newsletter Archive page which is now under Members Only on the menu. You must have an active membership and must log in with your email address to access this information.

Question 4

I'd like to register for a workshop. I cannot find the workshop registration.

Accepted Answer

Workshop information is available under the "Meetings" menu. After "Meetings', click on "Workshops" . You will see a few workshops listed, hit the "register" button for more information or to register for the class you are interested in.

Question 5

Why is some information on the Members Only pages?

Accepted Answer

CQC wants the public to be aware of CQC and its activities. Therefore, most information is available to non-members as well as members. Membership has certain privileges that non-members do not have, such as attendance in meetings, newsletters, workshop registration, participation in quilt exhibits, etc., so the ability to access these on the website is restricted to active members.

Question 6

I just joined CQC but the website is not allowing me to log in. What do I do?

Accepted Answer

There are some manual actions to add new members, so it may take a day or two before you receive an email to log into the website. If you are wanting to sign up for a workshop or another action that requires login, contact cqceditor@gmail.com.

Question 7

How do I know what email address to use to log in?

Accepted Answer

On your membership form, you entered an email address for CQC to contact you. We have used this email address to give you access to the Members Only portion of the CQC website. You should have received an email that instructed you to create a password. You can check the CQC membership roster to verify the email address. If you need further assistance, please contact: cqceditor@gmail.com.

Question 8

My email address no longer works. What do I do?

Accepted Answer

If you previously were able to log into the CQC website and now receive the error message, this means your email address was removed from the list of members. Check whether your membership has expired by contacting the 1st Vice President of Membership. See the Contacts page.

Question 9

What do I do if I can't remember my password?

Accepted Answer

When you click the Log In link, you will see a link called Forgot password? If you click this, you will be directed to change your password. Note that some internet browsers will save your password for you.

Question 10

I am having issues paying with a credit/debit card and I do not want to pay with PayPal, what can I do?

Accepted Answer

If you choose to pay by credit card rather than PayPal, you may find that this works differently and may be a little confusing. It seems that PayPal really wants payments to be made through their service but they do allow you to use a credit or debit card instead. There are several paths depending on whether PayPal recognizes your device as being associated to a PayPal account. These steps may be different from what you see but you can see whether they help. Also, it might help to delete the browsing data in your browser.
After entering your membership or workshop details on the CQC website, there is a Payment step. You will see a message that you will be directed to PayPal. If you want to use a credit or debit card, try using these steps:
Click the “Place Order” button on the CQC website.
On the PayPal page, you will see some type of login (such as prompting you to enter a password, offering to send a code to your phone, asking you to sign up). Instead, click the “Try another way” link.
Then choose “Pay with Debit or Credit Card”
You might be redirected to a page where you can enter card information. If so, success! Enter the payment information to complete your payment.
If you are instead returned to a PayPal login page, click the “Pay with Debit or Credit Card” button again. You should then see a page with title “Check out as a guest.” In that form, enter your email address and click the “Continue to Payment” button. If you do not see the guest message, continue clicking the button/link related to credit card or another way message until you see the “Check out as a guest” title.
If you get a message that indicates you have a PayPal account, you don’t have to log in. Instead, choose “Check out as a guest.” Then you should be redirected to a page where you can enter card information. If so, success! Enter the payment information to complete your payment.
If these steps do not get you to a credit card page, delete your browsing history in your browser (or use a different internet browser) and try again.
 This has changed several times recently. If you have problems, contact the CQC Communications Coordinator by using the contact form at the bottom of the Home page.
