I think I'm in the same boat as Vicki. Doug signed me up indirectly. I did
get a message from Yahoo groups identifying my user id (part of the email
address before the @ sign)...but no mention of a password (and it's not the
'verification code'). When using the links for forgotten or new passwords,
I'm asked to confirm my birthdate and postal code....which I doubt that Dou=
g
knew when he signed me up!
So any thoughts as to finding my password? Doug? I'd rather not sign up all
over again, but will if its the only way of accessing the personal
preferences.
