I have a question. I signed up for the site by entering my name, email address, and country. However when it comes to the page where you choose the topics/issues, whether I choose one or more it won't go beyond that. Is this an error or normal? And does the site recognize me as a member or is this part required, as I haven't received anything from the site in my emails?
It looks like they're doing something with the server right now. Maybe busy fixing bugs that were found right after it's been deployed this morning. A hour ago it wasn't working at all, the main page led to 404 error. Now it kinda works, but there may be some places with bugs and erroneous pieces of functionality. The map loads for very long time, for example. So, well - just patience :-)
Btw the website recognizes your previous activity, if there was any. I'm proud of being one of the first fifty men from my country that signed the initial commitment in 2014 :-) And it says me "Welcome back"!
Tried it again, still doesn't go past the topics page, and I still haven't gotten any emails. It does say "Welcome Back", but since the bottom says "If you are not the person named above...", it makes me think my name is supposed to appear after "Welcome Back,". Is this the case?Edit: I looked at your post again Ash and saw you were referring to if you signed up for the old site in 2014, which I did.

I can suggest you to clear your cookies and session storage for this website, it may help.
Edit: if you already did a commitment, then everything should work, at least because it worked for me. I was able to select topics, click on the pink button, and now I see the page with six little horizontal bars that represent the situation with gender equality in our country.
Could your first signing be erroneous? Can you find that old email you've got in 2014 to see if it contains your name?
Well this just got even more strange.....Turns out I didn't get any emails from the old site in 2014 either apparently because when I checked it wasn't there. Unless it was somehow deleted automatically without my knowledge, but I seriously doubt that's the case considering there are still even older emails in there. The reason I didn't check it before was because it didn't ask me to verify my email address(and I only check my emails to do this). I signed up, it welcomed me, and the counter on the site added me to the growing numbers. In fact I only checked my email for this site was because of this issue, which the old site didn't give me.
It's strange because both actual sites recognized that I signed up, even saying Welcome or Welcome Back, but didn't send me anything in my emails.
Is HeForShe[at]unwomen.org supposed to be the email address? Because when I tried to send mine it said "invalid address".
I just tried it again to see if it was a site issue they might have fixed. Nope, still having the problem.I apologize for all this. This topic was supposed to be about the site, not the technical problems with it.
