Hi all!
Community members (property owners) who wish to access certain member-only parts of the website must first register to create a personal account to enable use of all of the site’s features. Here’s how:
New Zapata property owners must first create an account by Registering to be able to login and use the site’s main functions such as the Community Forum and Classifieds. Private, protected property-owner-specific parts of the website however require a separate login. Both login screens have a similar look. Members’ personal account login asks for both your username and password. Once logged in using your community member account credentials protected page(s) will then become accessible using that separate (Facebook) password. (The protected content login screen only has one password entry field so be sure to keep that in mind.)
After successfully registering an account for the first time you may have to wait to receive a notice via email that your new account has been approved before you can access private, protected, members only areas of the site. This procedure is necessary to help protect us from scammers, spammers, phishers, bots and other undesirable intrusions.
Please Note: We most often check county records to verify whether a new user is a property owner. It very often takes a long while for county records to be updated so a new registration may not immediately be made known to us. Please be patient or contact us for help.
After you’ve been verified as a property owner you will receive an approval notice via email. (NOTE: If you do not think you’ve received a pending approval notice check your email spam folder to make sure it didn’t land there.)
Once your registration is approved you can Login to personalize your login information and participate on the site’s many features such as the Forum and Classifieds. Be sure to securely save your user name and password to enable logging into the site easier. To do so select the “Remember Me” checkbox to have your web browser will save your login info for quicker access the next time you visit the site.
Important! Any page or post marked “Protected” requires that members first login to the site with their personal account credentials using their user name and password.
Once logged in using your personal account credentials a second login form will be asked for if you wish to view and Protected content. The Facebook password is required for that form.
This was programmed to make it easy for members who also use the HOA’s Facebook forum to use their secret Facebook password to access private pages on the site. If you are having login issues please let us know and we will try to help you!
Have Fun and Thanks!
