ANSWERED: Joining GetSat


Okay, A few staffers and a few fellow long-time contributors ( now know as customers)have asked me to please become a member of the GatSat community. Well, like Kevin Durant leaving Okie City Thunder for Gilded State's Warriors (if you can't beat 'em, join 'em) I've packed my bags.

As stated before, all I want to see on GetSat is the combined-site set up for the CH and Poll boards...no exposure to face book or any of the tiddiling-twattering social network twats.And Col, in response, to a CH Board question, said that could be done.

I tried. Typed in my first name...typed in my e-mail address, picked a password, chose Google (google chrome is my browser) since Sign in with IMDb isn't an option in this community but is how I access the IMDb rather than Facebook, Google or Amazon, hit submit...and up came my granddaughter's GetSat account. She used my computer a few days ago to Power Point some funding presentation. And, it appears, to join GetSat.

It also appears GetSat is already tied to my PC. Whatever. Anyway, it blew up/locked Google Chrome when I hit close on her GetSat page. Took a while to restore.

What did I do wrong? Many things, I suspect...beginning with letting my granddaughter use my PC.

ACT1,

I'll clean the temp files. Of course, GetSat is probably using using cookies...and my biggest fear is if on GetSat, one, by proxy will become an associate member of the Farcebook social-networking crap.

I'd milk a diamondback rattlesnake if that would ensure me against being associated with Facebook.

Well, like Kevin Durant leaving Okie City Thunder for Gilded State's Warriors (if you can't beat 'em, join 'em) I've packed my bags. Well, thanks for your years of contributions. I sincerely hope that a fully-integrated alternative to boards is instated by this time next year.

As stated before, all I want to see on GetSat is the combined-site set up for the CH and Poll boards...no exposure to face book or any of the tiddiling-twattering social network twats. Right. I know. Facebook is such garbage too, like a setback for humanity.

I tried. Typed in my first name...typed in my e-mail address, picked a password, chose Google (google chrome is my browser) since Sign in with IMDb isn't an option in this community but is how I access the IMDb rather than Facebook, Google or Amazon, hit submit...and up came my granddaughter's GetSat account. She used my computer a few days ago to Power Point some funding presentation. And, it appears, to join GetSat. I'm sorry to hear that. You can probably commandeer the account, though. The worst thing about GS is that there are no manuals or guides for the use of it, and if there are, they are hard to find. I guess the company just expects users to start posting questions. It's a mess.

Another option would be to create a new email address
(you can set up a new free email address on Gmail or elsewhere).

Then you could use that address to register a new
email-address-based GS account.

Addendum:

In anticipation of your participation on GS, please note also
that IMDb has assigned a specific "category" of messages
for "Data issues and policy discussions".

Thanks, but the only thing I won't do, to get on GetSat, is create a a new e-mail address.

Many reasons but the main one is the site will have two contribution-confirmation lists for me.

... the site will have two contribution-confirmation lists for me.I understand that's not the only reason why you'd prefer not to create a new email address.  But let me just explain why at least that particular reason is not an issue:

If you'd create a new secondary email address and use it for GS login ONLY, you could STILL continue using your ORIGINAL primary email address for IMDb.com logins and confirmation emails.

Les,

Please forgive this momentary highjack of your thread with a tangentially related issue with signing up for GetSat. I've been thinking of joining the IMDb GetSat board since it began in 2012. But I've always held back for one reason. You have to give a cellphone number to register on pretty much any site, now, and I've always assumed that GetSat would want one. I'm not going to give out my cellphone number.

Do you have to give a cellphone number to register on GetSat?

Thanks.
