I tried to log on to edit my Ring site info a few days ago -it didn't work. I
don't know how to do, I tried entering my old ring ID, site ID and password, but
I didn't get anywhere. So, I just left it the way it is. It's bad, because I'm
going to re-make my site and then I'll need to change some Ring information.
