    Hello Group

    I have my form setup and my added fields are set to required that I need to have required.

    My problem is; how do I let the user know which fields are required before they hit the submit button.

    The sign (not ready for prime time yet) up page is at:
    https://www.fummwa.org/membership/signup.php

    I just checke the demo and noticed the same thing. The user does not know which field is required before hitting the submit buttton.

    Any ideas would be great.

    By default all fields in signup form are required.

    In you case - you may edit amember/signup.html and add * to all pre-defined fields and put comment somewhere that fields marked with * are required.

    You may add * into added field title right at aMember CP -> Add Fields.

    OK, I will give that a go I wonder if I can use css in there and have it show red. * the asteric will be red. I guess maybe a font tag but who uses font tags anymore?

    Hello Alex

    Thanks

    I did not know you could use HTML in the description of a new field. Very good.
