You can post photos on the website if you are logged on as a member.
They can be posted in 2 ways:
- directly in an album associated with your profile, which can be seen if people click on your name. or
- they
can be posted on an external site, but links will show them on the CVMG
website. This is especially useful for photos associated with forum or
blog entries.

Online Payments
CVMG offers 2 payment options: cheque or Visa/MasterCard credit card. We don't offer e-transfer because of the extra security controls and cost.
Paying
by a Canadian credit card when outside the country is usually
successful however, there are a few cases where our card processor's
fraud detection security decides to block the transaction. It depends
on several factors including the country you're in, the accuracy of the
home address you type in on the confirmation screen, etc. It also helps
if you're using an actual computer (laptop or desk model) connected to
the internet via a home or hotel network and not a tablet or mobile
phone.
If
you pay by credit card, you need to accurately provide the credit card
info, the billing address for the credit card you're using and an email
address. If you receive a message similar to this, carefully check all
the information and try one more time. It has been our experience of late that people often fail to include a space between the first 3 characters of the postal code and the last 3 characters. This will give you an error and your payment will not go through.
Make an online payment as follows (click on any image to enlarge):
- Login to the CVMG website 
(see topic above for help in logging in)
- Click Pay online
- OR, click the invoice reminder (bottom right corner) or View profile (top right)
- fill in the information from your MasterCard or Visa credit card
- note the information has to be the same as it appears on your credit card account
- click Pay
- you will be returned to the website
