Having problems with your subscription? Read the
information below and see if it helps. If all else fails, try using
the Feedback forms in the Help section on YahooGroups main page http://groups.yahoo.com/
To join the list, click
here. Enter your
E-mail address in the box. You will be asked to create a
Yahoo ID if you don't already have one. If you do not already have a yahoo
ID, click on the "sign up now" hyperlink and create an ID for
yourself. (Be sure to review the information on your Yahoo ID card. Click
on "Edit Your Marketing Preferences". When you get to the
Marketing Preferences page, read through it and make sure to check
"no" if you don't want your name, address and/or phone number
sold. The default is "yes", so don't skip this step unless you
like lots of junk mail!)
Once you have done that, go back to the http://groups.yahoo.com/group/quiltersbee/
page and sign in. This will take you to the Description page. Click on
"edit my membership" on the upper right hand side. On the bottom
of that page, you will be able to choose your membership options. You can
also select to receive E-mail in HTML or text format. If you select text
format, you will not receive picture ads from yahoo on the bottom of every
E-mail, which might speed your download time a little.
You will then get a "membership pending" page. (I have to
manually approve all memberships, which I hope will keep spammers out!) In
the upper right hand section of that page is the "Account Info"
hyperlink. Click on that, sign in again, then review the information on
your Yahoo ID card. Click on "Edit Your Marketing Preferences".
When you get to the Marketing Preferences page, read through it and make
sure to check "no" if you don't want your name, address and/or
phone number sold. The default is "yes", so don't skip this step
unless you like lots of junk mail!
To eliminate the advertisements that
are in your list email messages, go to your My Groups page and click on
Edit My Group, then E-mail Preferences. Click on the Options button to the
right of your E-mail address. Then look for "Message Format Convert
to HTML" Make sure this section is NOT checked. The "Do not
convert to HTML"" box *should* be checked. While you are there,
uncheck the box allowing yahoo to share your mailing address unless you
really don't mind lots of unsolicited E-mail. Then be sure to click on
Save Changes.
Attachments are not permitted to be sent to the list. Use the Yahoo
Groups shared picture file - and be sure to let the group know so we can
all go on a field trip! See directions below.
