Troubleshooting

Use a permanent email address: disposable inboxes are not accepted.

I see “You must accept the Privacy Policy to continue”

Tick the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service acceptance, then select Sign Up again.

I see “Passwords do not match”

Type the same password in both Password and Confirm Password.

Try the town name or part of the name; if the community isn’t on MiaChiesa, invite whoever leads it to activate it.
