Create an Account

To use Community Weaver, you'll need to create an account first.  You can do so from the home page of your TimeBank.

  1. Find your TimeBank and go to it.
  2. Click on "Create new account" link in the login box on the right side of the screen.
  3. If you have two web browser sessions open to the same time trade site, you may get a message that "You are performing an illegal operation" or "You are not authorized to access this page".  Just close one session in your web browser and try again.
  4. Fill in the required information on the screen that follows, including a username, your email address, your first and last name, a password, city, state and postal code. Fill in optional information as you like, such as your availability and your phone number.  A username can be anything you wish, but using your first and last names (e.g. John Smith) will make things easier later.
  5. If your password is weak you will get a warning to strengthen it.  But if you consider it is strong enough you can proceed without strengthening it.
  6. You can add personal links, e.g. Facebook or Twitter.  If you have your own domain, you must also specify a directory name, e.g. www.johnsmith.com/home.  You can remove the directory name from your profile later.
  7. Be sure to read and check that you understand the terms of service, complete the CAPTCHA question to verify you are human, and click “Create New Account” at the bottom of the page.
  8. Return to your email account and find a new email from your time bank that contains a link to verify your email address.
    Note: if you can't find the email in your inbox, be sure to check your spam filter. 
  9. Click on that link and sign into the system as instructed in the email and feel free to edit your personal profile. From now on you can log in at any time using either the username or the email address you have created and your password.
  10. A doordinator of your time  bank will be able to see that you have signed up and will need to approve your membership before you will be able to see other members, post ads, or exchange services. Click the Contact Us link at the top or bottom of the screen if you have not heard from your coordinator.
