For best results - Use Mozilla's FIREFOX To Browse ENYTB.com
posted by Administrator 11/23/2010 03:11:19
What you see when you link to our site - enytb.com - depends to some extent on what browser you are using i.e., older versions of some other common browsers don't display some enytb.com menus and commands or display them out of place. For example, older versions of MSFT's Internet Explorer does NOT load many of the images correctly for our site. Even more importantly, ENYTB.com now uses some computer functions not recognized by older versions of MSFT's Internet Explorer and other more common browsers e.g., our "link" function for linking managers/coaches to their teams. For these reasons, every ENYTB member and/or website user is strongly urged to download the best browser for using this website - FIREFOX, if you haven't already done so. Whether you are a Windows user or Mac, we highly recommend that you install the Firefox browser for viewing enytb.com. It is free. For a free FIREFOX download: http://www.latest-versions.com/mozilla-firefox/Alternatively, for those who strongly prefer to use Internet Explorer, we recommend that you upgrade to the most recent version. We can't guarantee that it works 100% but limited testing suggests that it might. It is possible we may be able to fix any problems that still exist when using IEP. Hence, if you are using an updated version of IEP and a website link doesn't work for you or you notice menu commands, texts or images are spaced funny or overlap one another, we would apprreciate it if you reported to the league office with an email that contains a link to the page where you found the problem. Thank you.--------------------------------------Want to make enytb.com your home page?When you first open any browser, it automatically loads/displays what is referred to as your "home page". All browsers allow users to select their own home page. When I open my browser (FIREFOX for Windows) enytb.com automatically loads as my home page. This is very convenient for me. If you would like to make enytb.com your home page in your new FIREFOX browser or any of the other popular browsers listed below, simply follow the steps provided below for your browser. * Internet Explorer 6.x for Windows * Firefox for Windows * Safari for Macintosh * Firefox for Macintosh * Internet Explorer 5.2 for Macintosh * America Online AOLInternet Explorer 6.x for Windows1.

Help

  • How Do League Participants Retrieve Their Own Password?

    Lost Password?

    enytb.com allows users to retrieve their own password at any time.

    To retrieve your own password:

    Go to the very top of the home page and click on the [Login] button. In the spawned modal, click [Lost Password?]

    Enter your ENYTB registered email address;

    Click the applicable user ID (if there is more than one).

    The system will instantly email your password to your registered email address.

    NOTE: If you get a message stating that you aren't a registered user, the system is telling you that it does not recognize the email address you have entered i.e., it is not of a valid email address/password pairing. This would happen if you have multiple email address and are entering a different email address from what you are registered under in the system. It could also mean you have typed in your email address incorrectly or that it was originally entered incorrectly to the system. If you believe it to be the latter, please contact your league navigator for assistance. If you don't know who your league navigator is, contact Ed Frye at 518-356-9089.
