Default HOG website question/problem

I'm a HOG member and a road captain. I went to the HOG site to register for officer training session and having problems. I go to the HOG.COM site and there is no place on the web page to pull up officer training while using my computer or phone. On HOG main page there is a CHAPTER tab to highlight and it should be under there. My friend, while on his computer, highlights the CHAPTER tab and about 7 dropdown words opens below, one of which is OFFICER TRAINING or something like that. When I highlight the CHAPTER tab, I only get three drop down lines below. Them being, Chapter Events, Find A Chapter, and Share Your Story.

I tried signing out and signing back into the HOG page, tried it with both IE and Google Chrome but nothing helps. Got on the phone with my friend and the address box at the top left is exactly the same as his but my Chapter tab just wont display the 7 drop downs he get, just the 3 I listed above. Any help on just why I cant get the same result that my friend does on his computer? Tks

I tried and got the same results as you. Guess you'll have to do it the old way and call HOG.

Thanks for giving it a whirl. Sort of a weird problem.

When you highlight the word CHAPTER and it only shows you 3 drop down options. Just click the word CHAPTER, then the page will change. Once it changes highlight CHAPTER again and you will see the options you are looking for.

Some websites require Java or some other plug-in to work properly, check to see if you are missing an add-in in your browser.

I believe to register you need to be listed on the chapter charter AND it needs to be current. Double check with the officers (I believe the Secretary?) to confirm that you are listed on the current charter and that it was renewed on January 1st which I believe is when they all expired.

Re-reading your email I see that a friend has the option on his account. I'm assuming he is in the same chapter. If so, confirm you are listed on the current charter

You have to be registered as an officer with HOG (national) to be able to access the things you are looking for. They may not have updated everything after the first of the year yet?. Have one of your chapter officers verify that your name is on HOG's list of officers.
