So let's get started! BELOW IS HELPFUL INFO... First Post May Need Approval.. Your first post may be held for approval but after that your posts will show up immediately. The reason for the first post being moderated is to keep spammers off the list. How To Post... To Reply to a message just click on "REPLY" under a message. To Post a New Message Click on "NEW TOPIC" found in the menu on the left hand side of the page. We will update this message with more info soon. This should help you get started! FAQ - Your Email Options... You can change how the site emails messages to you by clicking on the "Subscription" link at the top of the left menu. Here are the options and what they do... Individual Messages will send each email individually, as soon as it's posted. Full Featured Digest will group the days messages into batches of 12 and send each batch when the twelvth is posted. Any that remain at the end of the day will be sent as the final (or only) digest of the day. The digests include the full text of each message, omitting any quotes of prior messages. Full Featured Digests include at the top a list of the enclosed topics, clickable as links to take you to that topic. Plain Digest works the same way, but is sent as a text/plain email message, with no clickable links. Daily Summary sends a once-daily list of topics posted that day. Unlike the digests the summary does not include the text of any of the messages, only the list of topics. Special Notices Only sends only those messages which a moderator has designated as a Special Notice. No Email (not available in all groups) sends no posted messages to you by email. You may still receive individual notifications from the group and/or from Groups.io.
