For those of you who still cannot access the web pages and cannot change
your email options.  It is not that bad.  If you have any problems send me =
a
saying what you see (do not post it to the whole group but to


Ok.  I played with one of my lists today signing myself up as somebody else
from one of my other email accounts then getting a new yahoo id and getting
the list properly under that id.

First you must get a yahoo id (this is not an email address just something
to identify you to yahoo =96 it is for security purposes.  Otherwise any id=
iot
could get onto the web pages and put literally anything up.  Furthermore
without the id protection of your email preferences an idiot could trash it=
.

To get a yahoo id go to the naturerecordist page

 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/naturerecordists/

On the blue bar toward the top there is a yellow piece with JOIN this Group

(yes I know you are already a member but this gets you to the proper page)

there is a link on the left to get a yahoo id.  Follow the instructions.
Answer their questions (I always give as little info as possible)  Unclick
the box where it says you want a yahoo email address.  Select an id and
password.  Sometimes you have to try several ids before you find one that i=
s
not in use.  Once you get that done you must verify the email address
associated with the id.  It will involve them sending you an email which yo=
u
must open and click a link in it to verify the address to complete the
registration.

REMEMBER THE ID AND PASSWORD - write it down someplace safe and put it on
your computer in a disguised form (do not say yahoo id - blab and password =
=96
12345


Now you must get that id associated with your email address in the
naturerecordist news group.  Fortunately apparently yahoo has had a problem
with this because they have a neat Membership Wizard which does the job for
you.

Go to the naturerecordist page.  Sign in using your new id and password

There is a link toward the top of the page which says my groups =96 click i=
t

If you have no other groups it will say that you have none and ask if you
are already getting group email.  Click the Membership Wizard and it will
automatically fix everything up

If you have some groups but naturerecordist does not appear look at the
bottom of the list.  There is a question =93Do you see all your groups?)
Click the Membership Wizard and again it will fix you up.

Now enjoy the sounds, photos etc on the group web pages.

Hope this helps
