We are
trying to make the yahoo group more effective
for distributing information to MWPBA membership.
Here are the instructions:
-- Go to
www.groups.yahoo.com
-- Near the top of the page, you will see "Find a
Yahoo Group" -- Type MWPBA in the box and hit the "Search" button -- You will get a list of results. Currently, the
only group that comes up in that list is ours. So
click the link. -- Near the top of the page is a blue button that
says "Join this group" -- Click that button
-- At this point, you either need to login to your
Yahoo account or create one. It's free to create an
account, just be sure to remember your username and
password. I cannot retrieve it for you later.
Login, or follow the directions to create an account
and then when you send the request to join, please
be sure to include a note telling us who you are.
While we do our best to recognize names and email
addresses, sometimes we don't know them all, so if
you just include your name or the band you play with
or something to let us know that you are legit. The
reason this group was set to members only is to
avoid unnecessary spam email or inappropriate
content. So we like to know who you are when we
approve you!
As soon as you submit your request to join, an email
will go to all of the moderators. So long as you let
us know who you are, you should be approved very
quickly (typically the same day). But if we have to
follow up to ask who you are, it might take longer
while we await your response.
Once you have joined the group, you can post to all
members by sending an email to:
MWPBA@yahoogroups.com
Be sure to use the same email address that you used
to subscribe. Only that address will be able to post
messages.
Please remember that people of all ages and
backgrounds read this group, so please be sure to
keep the content appropriate. Also remember that
attachments are not allowed. Far too many people
have complained about large attachments so they are
no longer permitted. However, if you have a file
that you would like to share with the entire group,
you can login to the webpage (the same way that you
joined the group) and upload a file or photo to the
site. Then feel free to post and let people know
that it's there.
