Registration details are case sensitive. Please make sure you are not accidentally including any spaces after the username or password. If you need a reminder of your details to check you are entering the correct information see below.
How do I get a reminder of my username or password?
For a reminder of your registration details simply visit the homepage of the site and click on the ‘Forgotten your password?’ link below the log in button. If you cannot see this link or the log in button you are probably already logged in!
How do I change my password?
To change your password simply log in to the site using your usual registration details (see above if you need a reminder) and click on the ‘View full control panel’ link found in your profile area. On the following page please click on ‘My account’ where you will be able to edit your password as you wish – remember to press submit at the bottom to confirm the changes.
How do I change my username?
Members are not able to change their username once registered. If you have a compelling reason to amend your username please contact our member services team via the link below who can change your username on your behalf (please confirm your current username and what you would like this to be amended to).
How do I change the email address I have registered with you?
If you would like us to send our bulletins to a new email address simply log in to the site using your usual registration details (see above if you need a reminder) and click on the ‘View full control panel’ link found in your profile area. On the following page please click on ‘My account’ where you will be able to edit your email address – remember to press submit at the bottom to confirm the changes.
Why am I not receiving my email bulletins?
If you have stopped receiving our email bulletins it is worth checking your junk folder/spam filters as some email systems can be a little sensitive and block our emails. If our system has attempted to deliver bulletins to you which have bounced back to us three times in a row (for instance if your inbox has been full) we will stop sending emails – if this is the case you may need to re-subscribe (see below). Very occasionally Internet Service Providers (ISPs) can incorrectly block our emails long before they arrive to your inbox as they may identify us as bulk senders and assume we are sending spam – you can add us to a 'whitelist' here, but if this does not work you will need to contact your ISP directly and request them to whitelist us.
How do I change which email bulletins I receive?
If you would like to amend which email bulletins you receive simply log in to the site using your usual registration details (see above if you need a reminder) and then click on the ‘My subscriptions’ link found in your profile area towards the right hand of the page. Here you will be able to opt in or out of receiving our email bulletins as you wish – remember to hit the submit button at the bottom to confirm your changes.
How do I unsubscribe so that I no longer receive your emails?
If you would like to unsubscribe from our bulletins you can either use the unsubscribe link in each of the bulletins or you can do it via the website – simply log in to the site using your usual registration details (see above if you need a reminder) and then click on the ‘My subscriptions’ link found in your profile area towards the right of the page. Here you can opt out of receiving our email bulletins and select the privacy option so that we send you no further communication – remember to hit the submit button at the bottom to confirm your changes.
I’ve unsubscribed but continue to receive emails
If you have used the automatic unsubscribe link in the email bulletins, but you are continuing to receive our updates a couple of things may be happening...
Have you unsubscribed from all bulletins or just a certain type? (see above to find out how to check which updates you are receiving).
Alternatively, have you changed your email address since you registered with us? It may be that we are sending emails to an old address (or even a colleague or ex-colleague) that is automatically forwarding to your new address, in which case the automated unsubscribe may not match your new address against the one we have on file for you.
How do I post a question/answer in the Any Answers forum?
You must be a registered member to post questions or answers in the Any Answers forum. Simply log in to the site using your usual registration details (see above if you need a reminder) and: if you are looking to post a question click through to the Any Answers page where you should see a link towards the top of the page titled ‘Click here to post a new Any Answers question'; if you are looking to post a reply to another member’s question simply visit the main page for that question and click on the ‘Click here to answer this question’ link.
How do I report a thread that has gone off topic, contains advertising or has abusive content?
If you have any concerns over a particular thread please contact the member services team via the link below with confirmation of the question title (please also include a link to the offending item by copying and pasting the URL) and a description of your concerns. Perhaps it is simply spam, or swearing. If it is more serious then please provide as much detail as possible when you email us. User-generated content is extremely valuable to us and our membership, but we recognise the problems this can bring and take the appropriateness of this content very seriously.
How do I start a discussion group?
If you wish to start up a discussion group about a particular topic please contact the site editor at editor@hrzone.co.uk.
How do I access an existing discussion group?
If you wish to join a particular discussion group simply click on the ‘Discussion groups’ link, identify the group of most interest and then click on ‘Join’. You may be asked to confirm your request by clicking ‘Join’ again.
How do I remove one of my posts?
If you have submitted something which you now want to remove, please send us details of the post and what’s wrong with it. You must send us the URL of where your thread/post is located. Please bear in mind that if it is part of a wider discussion we reserve the right not to withdraw your posts so please think carefully before you post.
I’m trying to download something from your site but it’s not working
