Frequently Asked Questions about
Yahoo Groups is a
"user maintained" email list. You, the user, control the email
address you want to have your mail sent too and how often you want mail
delivered to you. Yahoo Groups eliminates the need for the NHS to
maintain an ever changing list of email addresses.
It's your choice.
If you only want to receive emails about NHS events and news join the "Events
and Announcements" List. If you also want to receive
emails from other horse folks or post messages for other horse folks to
see join the "Message
Board" list. You can join both. Remember, you
control how often you receive emails from the lists.
Click on the link for
list you want to join. You will be redirected to the Yahoo Group.
Once there, click on the button that says "Join this Group". If you
don't have a Yahoo ID (a screen name with Yahoo), the next screen will ask
if you are "New to Yahoo". Click on
"Sign up now" to register with Yahoo and get your own Yahoo ID screen
name. Once you have registered with Yahoo return to the Yahoo Group,
sign in with your new Yahoo ID screen name and click on the "Join the
Group" button again.

How do I post an email message with the group?
You first have to "Join" the respective Yahoo Group
that you want to send a message too. (See the FAQ on how to join). If
your message is about a horse "event" of interest to the entire NHS
membership send your email to "NokesvilleHorseSociety@YahooGroups.com".
If you want to post a message about items for sale, looking for a riding
partner, looking to buy an item, etc. send your email to "NHSMessageBoard@YahooGroups.com".
You must be subscribed to the Yahoo Group for your email to be posted. You
can also post messages directly at the respective NHS Yahoo Group
websites.

I joined one of the lists but I am getting too many emails from
the list?
When you joined the
list you were given a choice to receive "individual emails" for every
email that is posted, or a "Daily Digest" which is one email that contains
all the day's messages in one concise email. You may want to change
from "individual emails" to "Daily Digest". You can
also chose the "No Email" option and just view the messages from the
respective Yahoo Group websites. There is a link to each Yahoo Group
websites in the menu on the left side of each page of the NHS website.
Go to the Yahoo Group
you have subscribed too and sign in with your Yahoo ID. Once you
have signed in, click on the link for "Edit My Membership". You will
find the Edit link near the top of the page on the right side.
You really don't have
to. You can change your email setting to "No Emails". By
changing to "No Emails" you will no longer get emails from the
Yahoo Group, but
you still have web access to go back to the group and see the messages you
want at the Yahoo Group website. You also still have access to all the other
features of the Yahoo Group, such as the Calendar, List of Links, Photos,
etc. If you still truly want to unsubscribe, send an email to
"name of Yahoo Group"-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com where you type the
actual name of the Yahoo Group in place of "name of Yahoo Group".
If you have unsubscribed successfully you will receive a final email
indicating that you have unsubscribed.
Yahoo Groups is a
"user maintained" email list. When you signed up for your Yahoo ID
screen name
you told Yahoo what your email address was. If you change your email
address you need to go back and tell Yahoo what your new email address is.
Go to www.Yahoo.com, in the middle of
the page click on the link to sign in with your
Yahoo ID screen name. Once signed in with your Yahoo ID, click on the link for
"All Y! Services". Then click on the link for "Account Information". Change your
"primary" email address on file with Yahoo to your new
email address. Once you add your new email address or change it, go
to the NHS Yahoo Group you are subscribed too and click on "edit my
membership" to update your email address with the group.
Assuming you do not have your email
set to "no email", the problem may be with your ISP, your spam
filtering or even firewall settings if the problem is on your work pc.
Many companies set up firewalls to block emails from group lists.
Your options would be to use a generic email that you can access from home
such as Hotmail, AOL mail, Yahoo Mail or one of the many free email
services out there. Remember if you change your email that you
use you will need to go to Yahoo and update the email address on file with
Yahoo. See the previous item/FAQ for more details. If you
don't have the ability to use a generic email address you can always go to
each NHS Yahoo Group website page and view, post and search email messages
directly at the NHS Yahoo Groups websites.
When you registered
with Yahoo there was a section asking if you wanted to receive emails from
their marketing partners. By default, Yahoo checks many of the boxes for these
marketing partners. You may have skipped over this section when you
really should have unchecked the boxes.
