Using SchellingBoard as an attendee

Pick your name

Open the event link, enter the site password if asked, then pick your name from the list. By default this isn’t a login — anyone can pick any name — so please only pick your own. If you’d rather it were a login, see Protect your name below.

Propose a session

You can browse, search, and sort existing proposals at any time. During the proposal phase, click “Add Proposal” to suggest a session: title, description, and optionally co-hosts. You can edit your own proposals until scheduling starts.

Vote

During the voting phase, react to each proposal with Interested, Maybe, or Skip. Click your choice again to remove it. “Quick Voting” walks through proposals you haven’t voted on yet, one at a time.

The schedule

Once scheduling opens:

A proposal’s host can click “Schedule” to place it on the grid.
Some locations allow booking an empty slot directly, without a proposal.
Click a session to see details and RSVP. If the event caps capacity, RSVPs may be rejected once a session is full. A session marked closed warns that latecomers shouldn’t join, but doesn’t block your RSVP.

Attendee directory & profiles

Every attendee gets a profile page with their bio, proposals, and the sessions they’re hosting or attending — click any name wherever it appears to see it. The attendee directory lets you search everyone at the event and see who’s hosting a session at a glance.

Your profile

After picking your name, open “Edit profile” to set your About me, pronouns, and avatar. These are visible to other attendees wherever your name appears (proposals, hosting, RSVPs).

Protect your name

Normally anyone on the site can pick your name and act as you. If you’d rather that took a login, open Settings → Account security and click Enable protection. You’ll be emailed an 8-character code, valid for 10 minutes; type it in to confirm. You can optionally set a password at the same time.

Once protected, picking your name from the list asks for your password or a fresh emailed code. Anything done as you — voting, RSVPing, editing your profile, creating or changing your sessions — needs that login. It lasts a week, or until you switch to a different name.

To turn protection off or change your password, use either your current password or a fresh emailed code — whichever you have to hand. You’ll get an email letting you know the change happened.

Two things worth knowing:

Codes go to the email address the organizers have on file for you. If you can’t receive it, ask them to check the address. If the event has no email set up at all, protection isn’t available.
Protecting your name is what makes your sessions yours. Only a session’s hosts can edit or delete it — but if you haven’t protected your name, anyone can pick your name and edit as you. Protection is what closes that gap.

Lost access to both your password and your email? Ask an organizer to update the email address they have on file for you — codes then go to the new address, and you can unlock from there.

Email settings

If the event has email enabled, Settings also controls which notifications you get: when a session you host or RSVP’d to is moved, and when someone adds you as a co-host. Both are on by default and can be turned off independently.
