Q. Why am I not receiving any emails?

A. If you are not receiving expected site emails, please check the following:

1. Check your junk/spam mail folder or spam filter for the missing emails.
2. Make sure the email address registered on our site is entered correctly.
3. Verify your email client, such as Outlook, is not in “offline” mode.
4. If you use a POP3 connection to retrieve your email, please verify the emails were not downloaded to a different computer.

     If you are still not receiving our emails, please contact us.

Q. How do I change the email address tied to my account?

A. You can change your email address by editing your account details within your “MY STEET” area under "Account."

Q. Why do I get a warning message that my selected username is invalid?

A. Every user must select a username for their account. The username can only contain letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens. We recommend replacing all [spaces] with either an underscore or hyphen.

Incorrect: MY Username
Correct: MY-Username
Correct: MY_Username

Or, it says the username selected is already in use.

Usernames are unique. Two users cannot share the same username. If you get a notice during registration that your username is already in use, you will need to select a different username.

Q. Why does it say my email address is already in use?

A. If you get a notice that your email address is already in use when creating an account, this means you have already created an account with us at some point. If you do not remember your login information, please enter your email address into the forgotten password form and you will be able to reset your password and log in to your account.
