ATTENTION SCHOOLS!

If someone from your IP address creates a vulgar, sexually explicit or racially degrading post anywhere on the RevitCITY site, that person's username and IP may be blocked.  In addition, a user may also be blocked if they are very disruptive in the chatroom or make continuous disruptive posts in the gallery or forums.

If your school IP address has been blocked, it can be restored by contacting the site, providing the name of the offending user and agreeing to better monitor your student's use of the site,

To add a job posting on RevitCity.com you first need to be an administrator for your firm. If you do not see a link entitled "Firm Administration" under your Member Options, you are not a firm administrator. By default the creator of the firm profile is a firm administrator. Otherwise you must request administrator status from the current firm administrators. Please contact one of them to add you as an administrator by clicking the "Request Administrator Status" checkbox in your user profile.

Once you have been given administrator access you may create job postings by clicking on the "Firm Administration" link under Member Options. After you have created your job posting, remember to activate it from within the Firm Administration page.

Go to http://www.revitcity.com/forgotpassword.php and enter the email address you used to sign up with, in the blank provided. If your email address is in our database, your password will be reset, and sent to you along with your user name. If that email address is not in our database, you may have used a different email address, or you may need to sign up for a membership.

 When you join, or request a new password our automated system goes to work, sending you a new randomly generated password within 5 minutes of your request. Some mail servers process email "slowly" and you may not receive your email for up to 10 minutes from when you requested it. If however, after this initial 10 minutes you have not received your email, then something out there ate your email. It is possible your spam filter grabbed our email, or worse, your mail server rejected our email thinking it was spam.

 You should first check your spam folders for our email, make sure mail coming from RevitCity.com is "whitelisted" in your spam filters, and if you still can't find it, contact your system administrator.

After getting your new password, you can edit your user profile to change it.
