Apparently, it says "here's a link to a dropbox folder where you can upload pictures from your collection for our national office".  It wasn't obvious that I needed an account or would access my old account which I thought was inactive, because I created a new account with a new email and log in.  But, it apparently still combined it with my old one I guess.
