Founding regular members are those who joined the Research Cooperative during the first 15 years of our network (2001-2016). That was before we moved from Ning (our first host) to Jamroom (our second host). Founding members have the same member benefits as Standard Regular Members.

If you are a founding member who registered with an email address that is no longer active, please:

(1) join again with your new email address, or

(2) send the new address to Admin (researchcooperative at gmail dot com) for manual updating of your  account.

If your email address has not changed , and you have not renewed your account details after the year 2016,  then you can use the old account , but will need to request a new password for the old account . See login help page here .

As a Founding member, when you log in and reach your public profile page, you will see old profile information under your name.

You can delete or update this old information (identified as ' Founding member info "). Go to the Account tab in your account settings page (see account settings tab under your username in the the main menu, after login).

We strongly recommend updating your public profile using the profile settings page . Go to the  Profile tab in your account settings page .

Only the new information that you add can be found by other people, when they enter keywords to search for profile pages in our network (see Member profiles ).
